Aramis Ramirez said after Tuesday's game that he believes he's played his last game as a Cub at Wrigley Field.
Ramirez left the game with a mild quad strain, and was asked if it was his last game here.
"Probably," he said. "There's a good chance. I'm a free agent and I don't know what's going to happen. But it looks like I'm going to hit the market."
The Cubs hold a $16 million option on Ramirez. He said he wants to return, but "we haven't heard anything" from the Cubs.
"We don't have a GM, so I don't know who you talk to," he said.
He said neither he nor his agent, Paul Kinzer, has spoken to Chairman Tom Ricketts. Ramirez believes he can play 3-4 more years.
"I think we're ready to move on," he said.
The Cubs have until five days after the World Series ends to exercise Ramirez's option.
"We'll see what happens," he said. "I'm just speculating right now. It's going to be different (Wednesday) because it's going to be the first time that I don't know if I'm coming back."
