by charliesap | Aug 9, 2011 | Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz
If it seems like you’ve heard this before, it’s because you have. Last season, while in the midst of a bounce-back campaign, David Ortiz became upset that the team wasn’t approaching him about a long-term contract extension. That offseason, Ortiz...
