With the Giants in town, Jesse Chavez was back in Atlanta (he is currently their bullpen coach).

The 42-year-old is coming off a season where he appeared in four games for the Braves.

On Thursday, Chavez did an interview with 680 The Fan where he revealed that he is not officially retired.

Host: “Jesse, have you filed your paperwork? Are you a retired baseball player, or you just sort of thinking about things right now?”

Chavez: “Things have not been filed, but I have no intention of playing.”

While Chavez is technically available, he appears to have moved on from his playing days.

That said, at some point he will likely officially retire.
