With the talks of Jorge Posada hanging up his catchers gear for good in the next few weeks, there has been a lot of talk circulating as to whether or not the Yankees should eventually retire his number. Personally, I am a huge fan of Jorge; however, I do not feel his number should be [...]

On the heels of the news, via WFAN’s Sweeny Murti tweet, that New York Yankees Jorge Posada was retiring, reading the headline ‘Rivera will decide on retirement by spring training,’ made me want to puke.

Jorge Posada became a free agent after the season. The 40-year-old didn’t have a job to return to with the New York Yankees, and so he was left looking for work with other teams. His agents fielded phone calls, but the right offer didn’t roll in, and so now, according to WFAN, Posada is expected to announce his retirement.

That's a shame, because the news that broke over the weekend about Jorge Posada deserved a bigger moment in the spotlight. Sweeney Murti of WFAN reported Saturday that Posada...

Jorge Posada is planning to retire after 17 seasons with the New York Yankees rather than pursue opportunities with other teams. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press Saturday that the five-time All-Star catcher will announce his retirement this month. Posada, 40, won five World Series titles with the team that drafted him in the 24th round of the 1990 draft.

On Saturday, news surfaced that Jorge Posada intends to retire after 17 years in baseball. In that time, he combined two things that rarely go together. He was a longtime New York Yankee, and he was constantly underrated. Players for the game’s marquee franchise usually get at least their share of attention yet, somehow, Posada slipped through the cracks.
In honor of the recently...

Jorge Posada made the right call.
The man who spent so many years calling pitches for championship Yankees teams is calling it a career. Posada is going out on his own terms, and he is going out in pinstripes. That’s exactly the way it should end for Posada.
