I think it is noteworthy that we can even have the conversation about releasing Ortiz. This is a benefit of being a big market team. Can you imagine KC signing a contract like this one and releasing the player? They'd be in trouble for years. The margin of error when running a team in a big market is huge.

Granted, there's not much chance he'd be claimed, but if they're going to do that they might as well just waive him outright and give him a fresh start somewhere. I suspect being DFA'd would be kind of humiliating and he probably wouldn't respond well to it. I guess the question is, do you want to try to get him back to being himself, or have you decided it's over and want to move on? If the former, then you stick with him. If the latter, make a deal for a hitter and waive him. -- Matt --- On Tue, 6/2/09, Ray Salemi <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ray Salemi <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Trade Papi To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, June 2, 2009, 12:37 PM One of the guys in the office reminded me that we don't need to trade Papi. We can just designate him for assignment. </table --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
