David Ortiz has signed a contract with the Boston Red Sox that will tie him to the organization in perpetuity.
The club used the word "forever" in a press release sent announcing the new terms of their relationship.
Ortiz will serve as a mentor of current players, will be active on free-agency recruiting efforts, will perform a series of special appearances for the team and will work on business venture development for Fenway Sports Management.
"I'm happy to be able to help the Red Sox organization, which I love in any way I can," Ortiz said. "Whether that's offering advice to a young player, helping convince a free agent that there's no better city to play in than Boston or representing the club in the community and with its partners, it's great to be part of the Red Sox organization. It feels like I never left."
