ATLANTA (AP) -- Struggling through another disappointing season, Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones met with team officials Tuesday to discuss his future.
Jones declined to comment directly on whether he'll retire at the end of the season, but it seemed clear that he's made up his mind and merely needed to work out a settlement with the team over the $28 million in guaranteed money he's owed for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.
"It's obvious that it's something I've been thinking about," Jones said. "I need to go through the proper channels. Once those have all been taken care of, everybody's questions will be answered."
