Torii Hunter admitted Sunday that retirement is an option as he approaches free agency at 39.

The Detroit Tigers were swept by the Baltimore Orioles in their ALDS series, ending their season prematurely.

"I've thought about that a lot," Hunter said. "Just talk it over with my wife. We'll see what happens."

Hunter has said that he feels good enough to play a few more years and Sunday's comments were the first time he referenced retirement.

He did say that if he continues playing, he wants to re-sign with the Tigers.
