During a conversation about the Red Sox? collapse Wednesday with ESPN?s Colleen Dominguez, David Ortiz was asked whether he would be open to joining the rival Yankees this winter as a free agent.
Big Papi?s well-thought-out response to that question:
?That?s something I gotta think about,? Ortiz said. ?I?ve been here on the Red Sox a long time, and I?ve seen how everything goes down between these two ballclubs. It?s great [in New York] from what I hear. It?s a good situation to be involved in. Who doesn?t want to be involved in a great situation where everything goes the right way??
Ortiz just finished up a five-year contract with the Red Sox, so he?s free to sign with any club. But will the Yankees really have interest in bringing the veteran slugger aboard?
Sure, Ortiz might be able to feast on the short right-field porch at Yankee Stadium. But his versatility is a real issue, as is his age. The Yankees already need open playing time at DH next season for aging stars like Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. Then there?s Jesus Montero, who carries defensive concerns at catcher.
Ortiz told ESPN that ?there?s too much drama? right now in Boston and that he might not want to be ?part of this drama for next year.? But he?s not going to be as highly coveted as he might think.
