“Decisions like that are hard,” Rivera said when asked about the possibility of retirement. “It involves what you do, it involves what you have done for 22 years. At the same time, they have to be made.”
Rivera is entering the final season of a two-year, $30 million contract with the Yankees, the only team he’s played for during his major-league career.
Former Yankees catcher Jorge Posada, one of Rivera’s closest friends, retired last month after 17 major-league seasons at the age of 40. Rivera said he’s not quite ready to follow yet.
“When I let you guys know, you guys will know,” Rivera told reporters yesterday. “I’m going to leave it at that.”

2. (LeBron) James made sure to send out a few text messages the moment Kentucky defeated Kansas in Monday’s college basketball national title game.
James has ties to the Wildcats program, including relationships with coach John Calipari and assistant Brandon Weems. James is a childhood friend of Weems, and also formed bonds with players Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
“It was great,” James said. “I support Kentucky. My little brother, Brandon Weems, is on the coaching staff down there. I’ve been keeping up with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist since he was an eighth-grader. ... To see them win it, I was happy for them.”
