David Ortiz: I'm tired of them talking shit!

[Jims_Doors]

"I don't even know why they're bitching about me talking about contracts," Ortiz said. "Guys putting up my numbers, they're making $25, $30 million. I'm not asking for that. I'm asking for half of it. And they're still bitching about it? (Expletive) them. I'm tired of hearing them talk (expletive) about me when I talk about my contract. Hey, every time I talk about my contract, I earn it, (expletive). So don't be giving me that (expletive)."

From the deadspin article

"Our newspaper-to-English translator is a bit wonky, but we're reasonably sure this is what Ortiz actually said:

"I don't even know why they're bitching about me talking about contracts," Ortiz said. "Guys putting up my numbers, they're making $25, $30 million. I'm not asking for that. I'm asking for half of it. And they're still bitching about it? Fuck them. I'm tired of hearing them talk shit about me when I talk about my contract. Hey, every time I talk about my contract, I earn it, motherfucker. So don't be giving me that shit."

After the postseason he just had he should be allowed to talk about his contract.

 

[Sportsguy9695]

with the numbers he put up this postseason he can talk about his contract. it would be totally different if he had an awful postseason

 

[packerzrule]

the Yankees can sign him

Ortiz is finally old enough to become a Yankee.

Maybe the FO is concerned that he'll stop taking his PEDs?

I am sick of hearing about Ortiz and a contract talk every year... I understand he has done amazing things for the Red Sox and they wouldn't have won without him but it's rather annoying. The guy still is producing but he is getting way up there in age, can't we just have one season where there is no talk about a contract?
