Why David Ortiz satisfied with one-year option?

Question

I want to know that why David Ortiz satisfied with one-year option?

Answer 1

David Ortiz  may be "cool" with the Red Sox's decision not to give him a contract extension, as he told Theo Epstein, according to the Red Sox general manager. But Boston's refusal to grant Ortiz the extension he very publicly sought had to come as a jarring reality check for the Red Sox slugger.Ortiz's return to the Sox for 2011 was assured Thursday when the team exercised the $12.5 million club option that had been tacked on to the four-year, $52 million deal Ortiz signed in 2007, when he was in his prime.
