We know David Ortiz is in bowling shape. Less certain is whether he's in baseball shape. He is if you believe Pedro Martinez
Ortiz was in New York on Monday taking part in a Red Sox-Yankees charity bowling event, around the time Martinez teased the baseball world with another "Hey, maybe Papi will come back" tweet.

Big Papi is working out, and I know he is in baseball shape, and the @RedSox could use a bit of his bat.

Now, unless Ortiz is playing in a super-secret rec league in Boston, or getting unrecorded at-bats in Fort Myers or Santo Domingo, there's little chance he's in tip-top "baseball shape." Still, Pedro insists Ortiz is in good physical condition. And hey, since the Sox need a hitter (surprisingly, they do) . . .
I didn't say David is making a come back, I said David is in baseball shape because he works out, and the team could use a swing or two.

Ortiz has done some teasing himself the past few months by posting workout selfies. Points to Martinez for keeping up the suspense this time.
