Red Sox ownership gifts Big Papi sweet Mercedes

David Ortiz may never step up to bat for the Red Sox again, but he'll always be able to roam Boston's streets in style thanks to a parting gift from the club's front office.

On his Instagram account Wednesday, Ortiz showed off a lustrous new Mercedes he was apparently gifted by members of the Red Sox ownership, including owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner, and president Sam Kennedy.

It's unclear if the car is an alluring offer to try and bring the slugger out of retirement, but if it is, it's a pretty good attempt.
