Ortiz, Red Sox not close to contract agreement

BOSTON (WHDH) -- One of the greatest sluggers in Red Sox history could be about to become a free agent.

A source told the Boston Globe that David Ortiz and the Red Sox are not close to reaching a contract agreement.

Boston has until Friday to make a qualifying offer for Ortiz.

He would then have until November 9 to either accept the offer or test the free agent market.

Ortiz is seeking a two-year deal worth around $30million.
