In a Spanish-language interview with USA Today, David Ortiz has indicated that money will be the determining factor when he hits the free agent market. Calling last year's arbitration process with the Red Sox "humiliating" and "embarrassing", Ortiz said that once he hits free agency, he'll be "open to anything." "If you go crazy and give contracts to whoever comes along despite not knowing how they're going to do, then you don't give me my due consideration, even though I do my thing every year, [expletive] that," he added. "I'm going to be open to anything. My mentality is not going to be, 'I like it here.' It's going to be, 'Bring it to the table, and we'll see what happens.'" Ortiz was seeking a two-year deal from the Red Sox last offseaon at the same salary he'd received in 2011 ($12.5 million), but Boston would only offer a multiyear contract if Ortiz accepted less money. The sides went to arbitration and Ortiz was awarded $14.25 million. "It was humiliating," Ortiz said. "There's no reason a guy like me should go through that. All I was looking for was two years, at the same salary. "They ended up giving me [$2.025 million] more than that, and look at my numbers this year. Tell me if they wouldn't have been better off. "And yet they don't hesitate to sign other guys. It was embarrassing."
