Mike Puma in today’s New York Post spoke with Billy Wagner after the Red Sox were swept by the Angels in their American League Division Series, and Wagner told Puma that he is leaning towards retirement.

Wagner told Puma, when asked about retirement:

“Why wouldn’t I? “I’ve got nothing else to [accomplish].”

Prior to being traded, Wagner indicated that he was interested in closing next season to make a run at reaching 400 saves.
