According to Gordon Edes of ESPN Boston, the Red Sox are finalizing the terms of a two-year deal with David Ortiz. The two-year term has already been agreed upon, but the two sides are still negotiating the money involved. Ortiz is believed to be seeking $25 million total, but the Red Sox would like to sign him for a few million less. Either way, a deal is expected to get done and the Red Sox hope to announce the extension as soon as Friday. Ortiz is currently working his way back from ultrasound treatment on his right Achilles tendon, but it's hard to argue he doesn't deserve the two-year deal after batting .318/.415/.611 with 23 home runs, 60 RBI and a 1.026 OPS in 90 games this season.
