If the Boston Red Sox are to bounce back from a poor 2012, David Ortiz andCody Ross could be key pieces of the puzzle, and the club is talking to both players about new contracts, reports MLB.com's Evan Drellich.
General manager Ben Cherington made it clear the club wants both players back and that outfield is an area of need. Ross will have other suitors, potentially including the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles, and other contenders.
Ortiz said last month that he wants a two-year deal -- he signed a one-year contract last winter, avoiding arbitration, and faces a similar possibility this offseason.
Ross, 32, may be among the top few outfielders on the free agent market and could warrant a deal in the neighborhood of the $30 million over three years, similar to the pactMichael Cuddyer received from the Colorado Rockies a year ago.
