Bengie Molina is coming off of one of the weirder seasons in baseball history, one in which he played for the World Series runner-up Rangers, but managed to earn a World Series ring from the San Francisco Giants for playing 61 games with them in the season's first half. He's now a free agent and he told Newsday that he's considering his options for 2011, including retirement. The 36-year-old Molina is coming off of one of the worst offensive seasons in his career. In 118 games with Texas and San Francisco, he hit just .249/.267/.326.
Given that and the fact that he's a Type-A free agent, meaning that whoever signs him would have to give up a first- or second-round draft pick, it's perhaps not a huge surprise that he hasn't signed yet. He told Newsday that a couple unnamed teams have made him offers, but that they're not what he's looking for and he's unsure what he'll do.
