David Ortiz responds to Hanley Ramirez’s comeback comment
"My bro is so right."
David Ortiz is not reporting to spring training in 2017, but he remains one of the most mentioned names among Red Sox fans — and players — at the moment. Most mentions relate to the same question.
Will he be back?
On Thursday morning, Ortiz reiterated his standing answer.
Nope.
When asked about his former teammate on Thursday in Fort Myers, Hanley Ramirez relayed a possible explanation for a possible return:
Hanley on @davidortiz – “told me if he tries to come back, I’m one of the reasons he’Il come back. Because we miss each other.” #redsox #wbz pic.twitter.com/GSLWD7OKiV

Ortiz, who is an active personality on social media, saw the quote.
He responded to it 16 minutes later:
yes bro my boy is so right😊.
But lm not playing baseball anymore 🙂— David Ortiz (@davidortiz) February 16, 2017
Ortiz previously joked about a return following the Red Sox’ trade for starting pitcher Chris Sale in December. That said, he has not let slip any serious intention of making a comeback.
