Big Papi: Bobby Valentine Has "Mental" Issues

Driving Himself Crazy

In a stinging rebuke of his former manager, David Ortiz responded to Bobby Valentine's national TV comment that the designated hitter quit on his team. Said Ortiz:

"...after he went on national TV to say what he said, he sent me a text message trying to tell me that it was the media trying to change things. I did not respond to the message and I said to myself, this guy must have some mental issues or needs medicine or something? I said, I am dealing with someone crazy and I am not going to drive myself crazy, so it is better if I leave it alone."

Rest assured, this is not the last we will hear of this episode.
