Now that they have John Farrell in place as their new manager, they have turned their attention towards re-signing David Ortiz.

The sides have been talking and that should intensify now.

"We're talking," Ortiz said. "We'll be talking again sometime this week and hopefully everything goes well. It seems like they want to move forward and now that they have the manager locked up, we're going to figure it out and hopefully it gets done.

"Hopefully we get it done by the end of the World Series."

It's no secret Ortiz wants to end his career in Boston and wants a multiyear deal.
