Joe McDonald of ESPNBoston.com was told by a team source that the Red Sox will begin serious conversations with impending free agent David Ortiz at "some point next week."
Ortiz made $14.575 million this season and is due to hit free agency five days after the World Series. The 36-year-old has made no secret about his desire for a multi-year deal and may have a pretty good case after batting .318/.415/.611 with 23 home runs, 60 RBI and a 1.026 OPS in 90 games this season.
