The Red Sox have not approached David Ortiz to talk about the future, and even Big Papi himself does not expect the team to do that before the end of October. Ortiz, whose contract expires at the end of the season, is back to posting Big Papi numbers at the plate with the Red Sox. Boston is visiting the Rays on Tuesday with the best record in the AL and a nine-game winning streak. "Nobody from the team's front office has talked to me about a contract or about the future," Ortiz told ESPNdeportes.com Tuesday on the phone from St. Petersburg. "And to be honest, I don't expect them to do so."
