Jarrod Saltalamacchia realizes that he may have played his final game with the Boston Red Sox.

He will be a free agent this winter and was on the bench for the final three games of the World Series.

"As we're getting closer, obviously, you think about how this could be the last time I wear this uniform, and last time I play here as a home player," Saltalamacchia said prior to Game 6.

"It hits you a little bit. You don't want to leave but at the same time it's one of those things where it's baseball. If it goes in that direction you can't control it. I haven't thought too much of a destination, but it's definitely hit me a few times that this could be the last time."

He added that he wants to remain in Boston for the long term.

"Yeah," he said. "Oh, yeah. I've said that from the beginning, I would love to stay here and make this my home, but you really can't control it."
