The Red Sox are exercising the 2011 option they have on David Ortiz, according to NESN. Big Papi will be making $12.5 million for the upcoming season.
They will also pick up the option on Scott Atchison and decline one on infielder Felipe Lopez, so he is now a free agent.
I'm sure he's unhappy he didn't get two years but Papi lives on inBoston, thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteAnd hopefully he's motivated for a big 2011 also.
ReplyDeletedo you suppose the sawx will give up talent and try to do a deal with padres for gonzalez? seems like they're in a tough spot ... they wouldn't want to lose out on both AG and A. Beltre.
ReplyDeleteI think they will make a play for Gonzalez, Wayward. Youkilis has been OK with a shift back to third. I think Beltre is a goner for sure, and the Sox will try to keep Martinez.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the correction, JQ. When will you be on Millionaire? Let us know.
ReplyDeleteI was on Millionaire last December, Peter. They do rerun it every so often.
