He also tweeted this, which sounds more likely, after hundreds of fans begged him to convince Papi to return, and to return himself. Would love to see Papi in uniform again, but it really did seem like he was retiring in earnest last year...Pedro tweeted this tonight...
Of course, mlb.com just ran a story saying the club and Papi are discussing a role "within the organisation". Here is the link...

And here is the most intriguing passage:
"We've been talking, but right now nothing," Ortiz said of the negotiations. "We're going back and forth. At some point it's going to happen. That organization is what I am. We've been talking."
When asked whether his potential role would be in the front office or the dugout, Ortiz did not reveal details.
"I'll let you know later," he said.

It was a straight answer that's been given an out of context insinuation by a reporter framing it in the way wanted to.

Sure. As I said above, it sounded a lot like he was retiring for good last year. I think he would be a great addition to the clubhouse in a coaching capacity, particularly from a leadership perspective.
He's requesting a front office job with the title Big Papi. In time he could move up to Executive Vice Papi.
Edit: Just think of the business cards, they would be epic.

DD is holding the line in negotiation at Papi. Says DO will have to earn his promotion to Big Papi.
