John Smoltz isn't quite ready to say he's retired, but without a contract he's beginning a career as an analyst for TBS and the MLB Network. "I know the question comes up: Does that mean you retired?" Smoltz said Tuesday. "Officially no. But in my life when I make a decision about something and I say something, my whole character is to live by it. At this point I'm not officially prepared to say I'm done. But that may not mean anything to the degree that makes me play either."
