This move is not surprising as Renteria has very little left in the tank. Although he played like the Renteria of past years in the playoffs, most of his strong performance was due to the amount of time he sat on the bench in the regular season. At this point in his career, if he does not retire, he is a bench player who could possibly play one or two times a week.
The word is that Renteria is considering retirement at this point. Personally, I think that is a great move. Not just because he drove me nuts all season and I think he has nothing left. But I think it would be a nice story to see a player retire while he can still play and not continue to embarras himself. If Renteria choses to retire he can do so as a World Series Champion and World Series MVP. That's about as good as it gets.
