The 38-year-old slugger's representatives are meeting with the Red Sox to add an a year to his deal, according to multiple reports.

"My lawyers are talking with the Red Sox to see if we can get another year, and we'll see what happens later," Ortiz told Dionisio Soldevila of ESPNDeportes.com in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

"Maybe I'll play another year or two more years. I'm at a stage where I'll play depending on how I feel physically. Looking at Cano's deal and the rest of the boys that came only yesterday to the big leagues, signing those contracts, one says, 'that's why we're here.'"

Ortiz hit .309 with the Red Sox last season, including 30 home runs and 103 RBI. But his 2013 season will be remembered more vividly by his World Series stats — 11 for 16 (.688), two home runs and six RBIs against the Cardinals.


ELLSBURY TO WEAR NO. 22


Jacoby Ellsbury will wear No. 22 with the Yankees, taking over the number of Roger Clemens, another Boston star who moved south to New York.

Ellsbury wore No. 2 with the Red Sox, but that belongs to Yankees captain Derek Jeter.

The outfielder agreed to a $153 million, seven-year contract Dec. 3, and the deal was completed four days later. He appeared at a Yankee Stadium news conference Friday.

A lefty-hitting leadoff man, the 30-year-old led the majors with 52 steals despite a broken foot late in the season. He finished with a .298 average, nine homers and 53 RBIs.

Ellsbury is part of a rebuilding plan by the Yankees, who lost All-Star second baseman to Seattle. New York also agreed to deals with catcher Brian McCann and outfielder Carlos Beltran.


TRUMBO ATTENDS ANGELS' PARTY


When a player is traded away from the team he's played for his entire MLB career, it's not uncommon for the player to express gratitude — we've seen it in the form of letters, newspaper ads, billboards, etc. — to the fan base that supported him.

But after Mark Trumbo was traded to the Diamondbacks from the Angels, the 27-year-old slugger made a different but classy move in the holiday spirit.

Trumbo attended the Los Angeles Angels Kids Foundation Holiday Party, a previous commitment as a member of the Angles and certainly no longer an obligation as, now, a member of the Diamondbacks. But that didn't matter. Angels communication director, Eric Kay, documented Trumbo's presence at the event with a tweet .

The annual event, at the ESPN Zone in Downtown Disney, gives children a chance to hear Christmas stories and get autographs from Angels players.

Although Trumbo may not bring much to Arizona other than power as a player, as SN's Jesse Spector points out, there's no denying the All-Star is a class-A dude.


ROCKIES, LOGAN AGREE TO DEAL


A person with knowledge of the situation says reliever Boone Logan has agreed to a three-year, $16.5 million deal with the Colorado Rockies.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the deal has yet to be announced.

Logan has spent the last four seasons with the New York Yankees. He was 5-2 with a 3.23 ERA in 39 innings last season.

The 29-year Logan was originally drafted in the 20th round by the Chicago White Sox in 2002.

Colorado has been fortifying its bullpen all offseason, signing LaTroy Hawkins to a one-year deal last month. Hawkins is expected to compete with left-hander Rex Brothers for the closer's role.


INDIANS ADD INFIELDER


Free agent infielder David Adams has agreed to a one-year contract with the Cleveland Indians.

The 26-year-old split his 2013 season between the New York Yankees and their Triple-A Scranton affiliate. It was Adams' first time in the big league after six seasons in the minors.

Adams batted .268 (59-for-220) with 11 doubles, two triples, five homers and 21 RBIs in 59 games at Scranton. He had four stints with the Yankees, batting .193 (27-for-140) with five doubles, one triple, two homers and 13 RBI in 43 games.

He played 31 games at third base, nine games at second and four games at first.

Adams became a free agent on Dec. 2, when he wasn't offer a 2014 contract by the Yankees, who selected him in the third round of the 2008 amateur dfraft.

Right-handers Travis Banwart and Tyler Cloyd and outfielder Matt Carson agreed to minor league deals.


KUBEL RETURNS TO TWINS


Outfielder Jason Kubel has returned to the Minnesota Twins, agreeing to a minor league contract.

Minnesota said Friday that Kubel was invited to training camp in February.

The 31-year-old had 104 homers and 429 RBIs in seven seasons with Minnesota. He left after the 2011 season to sign with Arizona and was traded to Cleveland last August. He hit a combined .216 last season, when he had five homers and 32 RBIs with the Diamondbacks. He didn't drive in any runs in 18 at-bats with the Indians, who declined a $7.5 million option.

Kubel was limited by injuries to 99 games in his last season with Minnesota, batting .273 with 12 homers and 58 RBIs. His best season came in 2009, when he hit .300 with 28 homers and 103 RBIs.

Kubel has 139 home runs and 551 RBIs in his nine-year career.
