While Jered Weaver won’t make his final start of the season Sunday, he isn’t planning to retire, according to Pedro Moura of The Los Angeles Times.
Weaver is an impending free agent but told reporters earlier this week he was unsure whether he would pitch next season.
The Angels could pursue Weaver this winter, since he hasn’t pitched for any other organization since Los Angeles drafted him in 2004.
Los Angeles has a pair of pitchers who will be sidelined for all of next season as a result of season-ending Tommy John surgery, which might lead the club to be more aggressive in its pursuit of Weaver.
Weaver, 33, has pitched to a 5.06 ERA and 5.62 FIP over 178.0 innings this season.
