Prediction: David Ortiz announces retirement.
Ortiz walks away from 10M option to call it a career. Ortiz will do this despite respectable home run and RBI totals, but a shrinking batting average.
Ortiz has primed Boston for this day with talks about his legacy, PED’s, HOF and just about any baseball related topic that touches on his career. There will be no farewell tour nor a spectacular post season performance since the Red Sox will be sitting this one out.
