The demand for designated hitter David Ortiz is increasing this off-season.  According to a source close to Mike Silverman of the Boston Herald, the Ortiz is getting “serious interest” from more than one team. The source adds that “he has lots of options.”

Ortiz was offered arbitration last week, but it isn’t known whether he would accept or decline it.  Accepting it would pay the hitter a little more than the $12.5 million that he made in 2011.

The designated hitter is seeking a three-year deal, but Silverman speculates that he may have to wait for awhile for such a contract to get in front of him.
