Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington said the team has already engaged in talks with impending free agent David Ortiz. "We've got a couple free agents we're talking to now," Cherington said. "David is a priority, and we've talked to Cody Ross also. I'm not going to comment anymore other than that, just to say we're talking to those guys. David is someone that we feel strongly about bringing back, and we're trying to figure out a way to do that." Ortiz wasn't happy about being offered arbitration last offseason rather than getting the two-year deal he desired, but he said that he's "planning on finishing my career here."
