    Red Sox Ortiz next to leave?

    During an interview Wednesday with ESPN's Colleen Dominguez, David Ortiz suggested he might want to play elsewhere next season -- and that joining the Yankees is "something I gotta think about."
    Only two weeks ago, Ortiz expressed interest in re-signing with Boston. In the face of the September collapse, Terry Francona's departure, and Theo Epstein's impending move to the Cubs, Ortiz remarked that there's "too much drama" right now, and that he's open to making a fresh start elsewhere. Stay tuned.
    I really can't blame Ortiz for feeling this way. He didn't get the extension he wanted so why not leave when the shit has hit the fan? That said, I don't see a lot of fits for Ortiz. The Blue Jays are the best fit I can see but don't know if they would won't to give the Red Sox draft picks or not.

    Yankees employment work sheet:

    A) have you ever been relevant? *check*
    B) are you old/ not going to retire? *check*
    C) can you only really play one position? *check*

    Great you're hired!

    Exactly. Better than giving him a three year deal. Same goes for Paplebon

    Wait...he's a type A?

    That just ruins any chance that he'll be worth anything to anyone. Have fun in Houston.
