Drama has Ortiz considering Yankees

Don't come to Texas, Bro.

Yeah, the NYY would be calm by comparison.
Come on, Papi! You know better. Sign where you want, but don't make excuses about drama.

Wait, he's just trying to build a market here, forcing the Bosox to worry about him having a good year playing for their #1 rival. I get it now. I still doubt they're going to pursue him strongly.

Boston is going to feel like they have to make a big splash and Prince has said he's willing to DH...wouldn't be shocked if they overlook the weight issue and figure it's worth getting a booming bat for 2-4 years before he eats himself out of baseball, even if they have to pay him for 6-7 years.

"there's too much drama here, so I'm publicly saying that I'm thinking of leaving to go play for the team's biggest rival y'know... because I'd like less drama."

Let him get old and break down on the Yankees dime. I don't think Cashman is that stupid though, they already have a $30M DH for the next few years.

You had a nice run there Papi but everything comes to an end in time.

Life imitating Art

Reminds me of the ESPN commercial where he wears the Posada's Yankee hat

He'll be an Indian by Thanksgiving.

Ortiz is the furtherest thing from their problems.... start with the usual suspects, Lackey, Crawford, etc.

Considering they ranked 1st in runs scored and 22nd in ERA, I hope their new GM, if he is going to make a "big splash," would have the good sense to do it with Sabathia and Wilson.

a fat, wrong side of 35 DH who hasn't been the same without the PED's

You obviously haven't seen his stats over the last couple of years.

maybe papi just figures that with Theo gone there wont be anyone in boston to sign more bad contracts so he needs to go elsewhere to get some more big bucks.

If they sign CC and Prince, they're going to need to get extra folding tables for the post-game spread.

holy cow did I just type furtherest? time for the coffee

just what the yankees need....another aging star who could fall off the cliff at any moment. yup. cash is going to be looking to sign him.

Judging by Sabathia, Colon, Garcia and Chamberlain, they do have great buffets.

Yeah NYY wants another old DH. Yeah Right
