Sources: David Ortiz will retire at end of 2016 season.

If this report is true, it appears David Ortiz has decided to go the Derek Jeter/Mariano Rivera route and embrace a year-long retirement celebration. I'm against the idea in principal (see below), but can you blame him? After watching the two Yankees do it in back-to-back seasons, it's only fair.
Anyway, this should give me the time necessary to get my "Top 10,000 memories of David Ortiz in a Red Sox uniform" blog put together before Papi officially calls it quits.
