The main problem is that Ortiz might be done. If not this year, it's coming soon.
Ortiz is heating up but he is no big deal. He is only under contract for 1 more year.

I agree on the porcello thing. that shocked me but I don't hate it as they have an endless source of money. He would be fine as a 3 4 or 5 but the problem is they don't really have a solid 1-2 or 3 accept for Eduardo Rodriguez and he is still young
Yeah, endless money is good. They could go out and get a power hitter, but Ortiz has been the face of all 3 championships. It's not easy to just spend your way to a series, or LA, NY and Bos would win every year. So far, it looks like every team should have dug deep and come up with money for Scherzer.
