At the ceremony where he accepted the prestigious Roberto Clemente Award, David Ortiz (at least partly) shot down the rumors that he wanted to depart to the Bronx. His exact quote is:“I never said I would sign with the Yankees. No, no, no. They asked me if I would play with the Yankees. I said I would think about it. I didn’t say I would go to the Yankees. I’m still with the Red Sox, aren’t I? Of course I would like to come back. We have a lot of things going on right now, and once they go through this stuff, like the general manager and the manager, they’ll start talking to the players.’’
We can't afford to sacrifice 30 and 100—sign him!
