According to Mark Pratt at the Associated Press, Curt Schilling said Monday he will not retire at the end of the 2007 season as previously indicated and plans to pitch in 2008.

The right-hander's contract with the Red Sox ends after the 2007 season, but he said he was in discussions for an extension. If Schilling, who acts as his own agent, can't work out a deal in Boston, he will pitch for another team -- but not the Yankees.

The last thing the Mets need is another old pitcher.
