A.J. Burnett doesn't know if he'll return to pitch for the Pittsburgh Pirates next season.

Burnett is "50-50" on continuing his baseball career or spending time with his family.

The decision will depend on what happens in the next several weeks.

"I do want to go out with a bang, and I do want to go out a Pirate," Burnett said.

The 36-year-old is in the final year of a five-year, $82.5 million deal signed with the Yankees in 2008.
