The Red Sox are showing interest in Torii Hunter, according to a source.

The 37-year-old has been a longtime friend of David Ortiz.

"I'm open to anybody, especially if David is there," Hunter told WEEI.com in late August. "David is one of my guys. We were roommates in Minnesota and he's one of my brothers. He's one of my best friends in baseball. That makes it more impressive."

Hunter just completed a five-year, $90 million deal with the Angels.
