David Ortiz says there’s ‘no chance’ he’d accept a trade from the Red Sox
David Ortiz intends on finishing his career in Boston, and he’s not willing to accept a trade to another club.
“No chance,’’ Ortiz said Thursday, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. “This is the team I’ll be with the rest of my career.’’
Ortiz can refuse any trade because he has 10/5 rights (10 major league seasons, at least five with his current team). So even if the Red Sox do agree to trade him to another club, no trade can go through without consent from Ortiz.
“I couldn’t do that to my family,’’ Ortiz said, per the Globe. “I couldn’t just go to another team and fit in after all of these years. I want to be here.’’
