Braves closer Billy Wagner has pitched well this season and there is a vested $6.5 million option in his contract for the 2011 season.
Regardless, Wagner will stick to his initial plans to retire after the season.
"I'm retiring," the left-hander said. "I don't know how to say it in a politically correct way, that anybody's going to believe me.
"Until I don't show up next year, nobody's going to believe me. Brett Favre's f?ed it up for everybody."
