Ortiz wants extension
Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz said he wants a contract extension from the team.
That’s highly unlikely to happen given the way Ortiz struggled at the onset of the past two seasons.
Things got so bad at the start of this season that the Red Sox benched Ortiz and there was talk of releasing him.
Big Papi eventually got things turned around and is now hitting the ball with his usual authority.
The club has a $12.5 million option on Ortiz for next year, and he said he isn’t going anywhere.
