Wtf?!? That’s crazy as shit. Hopefully he’s ok.

Not cool to see this happen to anyone. Ortiz seems like a pretty gregarious and overall good guy. I hope he is okay and has a quick recovery.

there's a surveillance video up on the twitters.

he apparently was shot thru the back, not leg, and is in surgery.

and it doesn't look like a robbery at all.

if I was David Ortiz I'm not sure I'd go back to live in the DR...

This really sucks, Papi is a good dude. Of course, this is probably the best to assure Americans they are not being targeted.

Yeah, if I clawed my way out of there and became a multimillionaire, there is no way would I return back home and I would get my family out ASAP. Wilson Ramos was kidnapped in Venezuela about 8 years ago and Elias Diaz's mom was kidnapped last year. If I was a Venezuelan and a MLB catcher, I would definitely not return home and get my family out.

No steroids involved? Lots of steroid talk about the DR back in that era.

Sounds like he’s gonna be fine. It’s hard to tell what happens from the video, but it looked like someone walked up behind him in a crowded restaurant and shot him in the back, then ran off. A very interesting “robbery” strategy. But the guy also seemingly had a layup of a headshot and opted not to take it, so it doesn’t seem like a targeted hit either.

Where were you tonight?

The good news is that it was 4 feet from any vital organs...

Father to many, married to none
And in case you're unaware I carry a gun
Stepped into the party, the place was over packed
Saw the kid that dissed my home boy and shot him in the back

The shooter is now in police custody:

i'd expect someone who shoots someone as popular as papi in DR to look about like that after the police get hold of him.

He is lucky he made it to the police. Now once in jail he is fucked. They are not nice places on the Island. 

Take the shooter.  Drop him off in Southie, at night in October when the Sox get eliminated in the ALDS in a t-shirt that says, “I shot Big Papi and all I got was this stupid t-shirt, go Yankees”.....and you will see true justice.

The Astros worked behind the scenes to get Altuve's family out of VZ.  I understand why Papi was in the DR (family there), but if I was him my visits would be few and far between and they sure as heck wouldn't involve being out in a nightclub. The DR is a shit hole.

 

Never forgot, years ago I was in PR on business and the evening dinner talk turned to baseball.  I asked about the DR players and the country - our customer looked me straight in the eye and said don't ever go there - they are fucking animals.  I was sort of taken aback, but laughed it off as PR-DR rivalry.  

The kids and I went to the DR two years ago and enjoyed it a lot. We rented an apartment in Punta Cana where we rode the city bus around quite a bit. The we hired a driver to take us to Santo Domingo where we spent several days wandering around the old town. We didn’t go out clubbing at night so we didn’t get shot.

Even the clubs are fine and a good time as long as you aren't a known wealthy celebrity. 

That looked more like a hit to me than a robbery.

yep, I lived there for about 5 years, my mom and both brothers live there now. If you are smart and know where you are it is fine. 

 

story going around that he was fucking a drug lord's girlfriend.  
 

Big Papi needs to keep Little Papi under control.

$8000 USD? That’s all it costs in the DR to (attempt to) execute one of the famous people in the country?

And that may have been divided by 6. 

 

 

Doubt all six were all being paid. That is probably 8K for the shooter and driver. 

Just now, spystud13 said:

Either way, that is some shit. 

agree. Probably gave a 200 dollar rebate since they were Yankees fans from Los Minas. 

Damn, now it’s been updated to possibly 10 suspects. 

Quote

Six suspects, including the alleged gunman, have been detained in the shooting of former Red Sox star David Ortiz, the Dominican Republic's chief prosecutor said Wednesday.

Four other suspects were also being pursued in the shooting, which witnesses said was carried out by two men on a motorcycle and two other groups of people in cars.

——

The four suspects still at large were identified as Luis Alfredo Rivas Clase, aka The Surgeon, as well as a woman known as The Venezuelan, or Red, and two other men, prosecutors said in a statement.

No wonder it wasn't successful -- that's a full fucking committee they had tasked to carrying it out.  

10 hitmen? target lived?

when are they going to name mr. biggs the suspect? this has his fingerprints all over it.

No,  we have sights on Mookie and Steve Pearce.

Much respect for Big Papi.    Hope he does not have lifelong complications.

How about dont go around fucking the women of local drug lords. Some people just ask to be shot. If he was doing that, and allegedly bought her an $84,000 BMW, nthen the only surprising thing is that the drug lord hired the 3 stooges and wile e coyote to carry it out.

$8000 USD goes a long way in the DR

someone hired 11 people to kill one guy? and they still couldn't do it?

I see you've never served on a committee at work.  

So he hired the fucking Stormtroopers to carry out the hit? Lmao. How embarrassing. A drug lord hiring that many people and the hit fails that miserably. After the dude fucked his wife.

To be fair to the shooter, Big Papi presents a massive target. Hard to know where the vital organs are.

On the flip side though, he could have just shot him in the back of the head.
