Getty Images A source informs WEEI's Rob Bradford that the Red Sox and free agent David Ortiz are really close to having a brand-new contract done. (Update: CBS Sports. com's Jon Heyman says the 2 sides are "finalizing an agreement."). Speculation is that the Red Sox-Ortiz settlements have fixated a two-year deal with a yearly salary like the $ 14. 575 million that Ortiz made last season. That $ 14. 575 million salary, which developed after Ortiz accepted arbitration as a free agent last wintertime, was the highest of Ortiz's occupation. Ortiz turns 37 this month, however he hardly appears deserving of a paycut after hitting. 318 /. 415 /. 611 in 324 at-bats last season.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
