Atlanta -- Chipper Jones is thinking about retiring after the season, Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox said after meeting with the veteran third baseman Tuesday.
"The best I can say is he's planning on retiring after this year, but we won't know until he tells you guys," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted Cox as saying.
Braves General Manager Frank Wren and team President John Schuerholz were also in on the meeting with Jones, the newspaper said.
Before heading into Turner Field for that meeting, the 38-year-old player told the Journal-Constitution retirement was on the agenda.
"It's obvious it's something I've been thinking about, and that's that," Jones said.
