While it is still "probable" Mariano Rivera will pitch for the next season, the man is having second thoughts about possibly retiring, sources tell ESPN New York.

After tearing his ACL in Kansas City in early May, Rivera vowed that he would return in 2013.

Now, with his 43rd birthday next month, Rivera has the familiar tug that he has carried for many years of possibly wanting to stay home with his family and call it a career.

Rivera has yet to inform the Yankees of his final intentions, according to sources.
