David Ortiz may sit out March's World Baseball Classic after participating in the last two international showcases.

"I talked to [general manager] Ben [Cherington] and the owners and that might be an interruption, between the things they're planning for me to do next season, and being ready to go for the season next year," he said. "We'll see how things go."

Ortiz is coming off a right Achilles injury that limited him to 90 games in 2012.
