Hunter said he's tired, and he should be, after 18 years in the majors. He's a five-time All-Star and a nine-time Gold Glove winner. He'll talk to his wife and figure out his future, he added. He made $14 million this past season and is a free agent.
Hunter hit .286/.319/.446 in 142 games this season, with 17 home runs and 83 RBI. He added two hits, a run, and walked twice in three games versus Baltimore in the postseason.
