Talked by phone today with Rick Knapp,
Cheap D&G Sunglasses, who clarified on his remarks on Kenny Rogers maybe retiring. He said he called Rogers in November, soon after being named Tigers pitching coach,

“I don’t know if it’s time,” Knapp said Sunday. “I think he’s still got
some fight in him. It’s just a matter of whether he wants to or not.”
“But if you go,” Knapp said he told Rogers, “you have to promise not to take them.”
A classy move on the part of Knapp, though,

With Rogers unsigned this late in the offseason, it seems like a no. I could very easily see Rogers quietly retiring without any formal announcement, let alone fanfare. He isn’t one to make a big deal.
