Red Sox are retiring David Ortiz's No. 34 eight months after his last game. Even Derek Jeter had to wait two full seasons to see the Yankees retire his No. 2.

"The fact that his is being done so soon after retiring, I think speaks volumes -- what he's meant to the city, what he's meant to the organization."

John Farrell believes sore shoulders are impacting Hanley Ramirez at plate, but Red Sox not considering DL stint. "To me, getting Hanley back to the level he performed at last year would be like a midseason trade," Farrell said. "He was a dominant middle-of-the-order force for us last year, and we need more production."

John Farrell on Red Sox top prospect Rafael Devers: "He's a guy that we're reluctant to move too fast. We'd much rather that he progress as he has and stay on that course rather than force-feed it and jump too far ahead of ourselves."
