Molina hasn't officially signed retirement papers, but would like to sign with the Giants

By Anthony Caruso III

Veteran catcher Bengie Molina has decided to sit out the remainder of the 2011 season.

Molina has been considering retirement since last off-season. However, he has never signed the official documents that has made his retirement official.

At one point, Molina said that he would only return to the San Francisco Giants. The Giants lost their stud catcher Buster Posey with a severe leg injury that has put him out months after attempting to block a Florida Marlin from scoring a run.

The Giants could add a veteran catcher at some point. Currently, the Giants are going with Chris Stewart and Eli Whiteside.
