RED SOX NOTEBOOK
As the World Series ended Sunday night, six Red Sox players became free agents. They will hit the open market Saturday at 12:01 a.m.
The Sox have said they want to retain designated hitter David Ortiz and outfielder Cody Ross.
Comments
If Ortiz plays 90 games again next year and bats 4.5 times/game and if he's paid $13,300,000 that boils down to almost $33,000 every time he steps up to the plate. Insanity.
