After 17 Major League seasons, outfielder Jim Edmonds may retire after the 2010 season, according to MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy.

“I’m leaning toward shutting it down and being a family man again,” Edmonds said. “I’ve made my mark. I’ve done as much as I can do as an everyday player.”

Edmonds was placed on the 15-day disabled list by the Cincinnati Reds last week with a strained oblique.

The veteran outfielder was acquired by the Reds from the Milwaukee Brewers earlier in August. While he does have a shot at making a post season run, he says he misses Milwaukee, and called his time with the Brewers, “the best part of my year.”

Edmonds, 40, is hitting .272/.337/.481 with 9 home runs and 21 RBIs in 82 games with the Brewers and Reds this season.
