What a breath of fresh air! An athelete performs, excels under pressure, and is rewarded with a contract deserving of his efforts. AND IT WAS DONE WITHOUT THE PRESS AND WHINING OF AGENT OR ATHELETE!

When I went to bed the sportscaster said they were working on a new deal. Something like 4 yr/50 million smackers. Is it done and signed?

Thought he just signed a new deal last season?

They are just finishing up the details..Will be done before opening day..Its up to the 2010 season:grins:

worth
every
penny

If you did not give him a deal he would have pouted all season.
Big power hitters lose it very fast,they go from good hitterd to stinkers in one season:whackin:

Any evidence of Ortiz ever pouting?? I dont think so..

No, but he was hinting on not signing.

It is insane that 19 of his 40+ HR's were game winning(mostly), go ahead or tied it up shots. He's come a long way from being picked up on waivers.

Thank god we did something right and pay big papi the $$ he deserves. He'll probably finish up his MLB career with us now.

Great news for Sox fans :jump:
I just hope the saved some money for Trot :uhuh:
