The Globe has even more David Ortiz love. Two game-winning postseason hits on the same day will do that to you. Oh, and Theo Epstein knows how to admit a mistake:
“When we got him last year we screwed things up for a month or so before we had a chance to get him in there full time.” (Link)
Best part of his moves this year have been him going “well, that’s not working - let’s correct it”. I can’t believe the Twins just outright didn’t want him. Speaking of the Twins:

Dear Sox fan,
Clearly we are an overachieving franchise that has won two World Series in the last 20 years. Our sincere apologies. As you can attest, we have since taken steps to rectify the problem. We hope you have enjoyed the use of David Americo Ortiz Arias, Douglas Andrew Mientkiewicz, and David Andrew McCarty. Should we ever receive another player whose first name begins with a “D” and middle name begins with an “A”, rest assured that you will have priority access to said player. Please enter the coupon code TWINSCLEAROUT at our online store.
While you’re shopping at our store, why not check out our specials? Cristian Guzman and Pat Borders are available at low, low prices. Or perhaps, given your recent purchases from twins.com, you would prefer to give us a middling prospect in exchange for Joe Mauer?
Yours sincerely,
General Manager
Minnesota Twins
