Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz doesn't want a one-year deal, he's looking for a long-term extension.

"I'm going to tell you, I ain't going nowhere," Ortiz said.

"I don't want one year. Why should I return for one year and go through the same [stuff] I'm going through now, just because it's my last year? No. I like to be left alone when I'm playing baseball. I know how to clean my [stuff] up."

Boston holds a $12.5 million contract on the 2011 season for Ortiz, and there is no buyout.
