La temporada de ensueño para Ortíz sigue, ¿se retirará? En Boston se ha empezado una recolección de firmas para entregárselas a Rex Sox pidiéndole un año más a Ortíz. Sin embargo, su continuidad es poco probable, el "Big Papi" requiera de sesiones de masaje en los pies antes y después de los compromisos. La carrera del ex Minnesota parece haber llegado a su fin.
La carrera de Ortíz como todo, ha tenido altos y bajos. Sin duda alguna, merece terminar su carrera como la está haciendo, a lo grande acá sus números de por vida:
