Replacing David Ortiz: How Can Red Sox Fill Big Papi’s Massive Void?
Share this: BOSTON — The afternoon following his team’s sudden exit in the American League Division Series, Red Sox manager John Farrell likened the feeling to having his “face planted into a brick wall.” He and his staff are going to have to pick themselves up quickly, though, because there’s one pressing offseason dilemma looming. In case you haven’t heard, David Ortiz’s baseball career is over after 20 seasons. In his wake, the 40-year-old designated hitter leaves not only a massive power gap in the middle of Boston’s lineup, but also a huge void in the clubhouse, where he was entrenched as the wise veteran leader on a team with a promising young core. In short: Farrell and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski have their work cut out
David Ortiz Is Retiring At The Top Of His Game, And He’s Fine With That
Share this: BOSTON — First things first: David Ortiz’s career ended too soon. After producing one of the greatest regular seasons by a player his age in baseball history, the Boston Red Sox slugger played in just three more postseason games, the last of which was a 4-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians in Game 3 of the American League Division Series. It was a disappointing final chapter in an otherwise fairytale career for the 40-year-old Dominican Republic native. So, as one might expect, it was only a matter of minutes before the second-guessing began. Frank Thomas isn’t the only one to question Ortiz’s retirement decision.

MLB Postseason Picture: Red Sox Would Play Indians If Season Ended Monday
Share this: The Boston Red Sox had an opportunity to clinch the American League East on Tuesday night in the Bronx, but the New York Yankees continued to play spoiler. A night after New York came from behind to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays and cut Boston’s magic number to clinch the AL East to just one, the Yankees struck again with three home runs off Red Sox ace David Price to take home a 6-4 victory.
