Red Sox: David Ortiz arrives at JetBlue Park for spring training
Retired Boston Red Sox icon David Ortiz has arrived in Fort Myers for spring training, where he will serve as a special assistant.
David Ortiz is back with the Boston Red Sox in Fort Myers for spring training!
No, he’s not putting on a uniform to rejoin the roster. We are long past the days of dreaming that Big Papi will come out of retirement to mash in the middle of the Red Sox lineup. That doesn’t mean he won’t make himself useful while he’s hanging around JetBlue Park.
What exactly Ortiz will be doing with the team in spring training remains a bit unclear. The media guide lists him as a “Special Assistant to Fenway Sports Group.” Presumably, this is some sort of consulting role.
