"Edgar Renteria, who drove in the game-winning run in the 1997 World Series as a 20-year-old, and 13 years later was named World Series Most Valuable Player, is leaning toward retirement, his agent told FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal.

Renteria's agent, Barry Meister, said that Renteria will not file retirement papers and remains open to playing again.

Renteria, 35, has played 16 seasons in the Majors with the Marlins, Cardinals, Red Sox, Braves, Tigers, Giants and Reds. He played in 96 games for Cincinnati last season, hitting .251.
