With this new report, it’s safe to say that the Boston Red Sox have a lot of rebuilding to do.
For the moment, the DH David Ortiz hasn’t confirmed his retirment and neither have the Red Sox. Big Papi has had an illustrious 19 seasons in the league, and 13 of those have been with Boston. He recently hit his 500th home run in the past 2015 season. To see Ortiz in the Hall of Fame won’t be surprising.
Sources: David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.

Will there be a farewell tour for Ortiz? Probably not since he has said that he doesn’t want a tour but I’m sure the Red Sox won’t let him go quietly.
