Red Sox Legend David Ortiz's Former Miami Mansion Lists for $11.5 Million
Major League Baseball great David Ortiz—better known as 'Big Papi'—is back in Miami real estate headlines. The former first baseman's former North Pinecrest estate, a modern showpiece packed with luxury perks, has just returned to the market with an $11.5 million price tag. The current listing is held by Dennis Carvajal with One Sotheby's International Realty. Ortiz, who retired from MLB in 2016 after a decorated career with the Boston Red Sox that included 10 All-Star appearances and three World Series titles, originally purchased the land in 2016 for $1.5 million and completed construction on the home in 2019. In early 2023, he listed the custom-built estate for $12.5 million, and by June of that year, it had sold for nearly $10.6 million—a record-breaking deal for Pinecrest, the Wall Street Journal reported at the time. The sale narrowly beat out the previous high of $10.5 million, set in 2022 when Miami Heat star Tyler Herro picked up a snazzy home in the same neighborhood.

Angels reportedly accused Red Sox of stealing signs, leading to pregame shouting match Wednesday
David Ortiz on state of the Red Sox, including Alex Cora's job security and the Devers situation David Ortiz on state of the Red Sox, including Alex Cora's job security and the Devers situation David Ortiz on state of the Red Sox, including Alex Cora's job security and the Devers situation Before the Red Sox and Angels had a chance to close out their three-game series at Fenway Park on Wednesday, the two teams got into a heated pre-game argument on the field. Coaches from both teams had to be separated as they jawed back and forth with each other. The loud and animated confrontation reportedly came after Los Angeles accused Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores of stealing signs during Monday's game, according to WEEI's Rob Bradford. It started when Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson had words with Flores, and erupted from there as Flores got into it with Angels pitching coach Barry Enright. That prompted a number of Red Sox players to take the field before the situation was defused. There was kerfuffle between the Angels and Red Sox a little while ago with words exchanged along third base line. Seemed to start with Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson having words with Red Sox coach Jose Flores. Numerous Sox players came over to that side of the field — Rob Bradford (@bradfo) June 4, 2025 After cooler heads prevailed, Boston manager Alex Cora was seen having a conversation with Anderson. NESN initially posted video of the altercation to the station's X account ahead of Wednesday's game, but later deleted the post. At least The Section 10 podcast saved the video and posted it on its X account for all to see: Coaches and players chirping before the game. Everything is going great at Fenway. — Section 10 Podcast (@Section10Pod) June 4, 2025 Anderson was reportedly upset over Flores stealing signs from first during his Monday start, and confronted him on the field about it Wednesday, according to Bradford. Anderson gave up five runs over 4.1 innings on Monday, with the Red Sox scoring four of those runs in the fifth inning. How a first base coach can steal signs with the new PitchCom remains unknown, but Anderson was clearly miffed about something. Now we'll wait to see if there are any carryover fireworks in Wednesday's series finale. It's the final time the Angels will play at Fenway Park this season, though the Red Sox head out West for a three-game series in Los Angeles from June 23-25. The Angels won the first two games of the current three-game series, which has sent the scuffling Red Sox to a 29-34 record for the season.

Red Sox legend David Ortiz: Leave Rafael Devers alone on decision to play 1B
The Boston Red Sox should just leave designated hitter Rafael Devers alone and let him decide if he wants to start playing first base, Hall of Famer David Ortiz told The Associated Press on Monday. Article content Article content The Red Sox signed Alex Bregman to a $120-million, three-year contract in spring training and told Devers he was going to be the fulltime DH. Article content That was, until first baseman Triston Casas was lost for the season after rupturing a tendon in his left knee and undergoing surgery in early May. Article content Speaking at his charity golf tournament — the David Ortiz Soiree of Hearts — the former Red Sox slugger said any move should be up to Devers. Article content 'He's doing great as the DH. They asked for it, and he's doing great as the DH,' Ortiz said. 'Once (the) Casas situation goes down … In people's minds, it was: 'Devers goes to first and (Masataka) Yoshida goes to DH and we are a better team'. Yeah, that's what you put in your mind. But guess what? The kid was asked in a spring training to just hit and now all of a sudden you want to switch him over. It takes time.' Article content The 49-year-old Ortiz, who made his way to the Hall as mainly a DH, didn't say Devers shouldn't make the switch, but any choice should come after he learns the position. Article content 'I will say this: At one point, if Devers would like to practice at first base, and would like to go back to playing the whole defense thing, that is all on him,' said Ortiz, sitting down with the AP while signing souvenirs for golfers. Article content 'We asked him to be the DH. Fully asked him to be the DH,' Big Papi said. 'I remember that conversation in spring training. It's a different situation and the guy's doing great at what you asked him for. He's giving you what you asked for, even if it wasn't what he was agreeing on.' Article content Article content During spring training, Devers initially balked at the move to DH. Article content Last month, Devers told the Red Sox he wasn't interested in playing first and owner John Henry flew to Kansas City to meet with him. Article content After a historically poor start, Devers enters Monday batting .286 with 12 homers and a major-league leading 52 RBIs. Article content Ortiz said the game has changed from when he was told he was going to be mainly a DH. Article content 'They thought I was going to fit in good at DH and play first once in a while,' he said. 'Baseball was different back then. You just wanted to fit in.' Article content
