Make no mistake, Boston Red Sox legend David Ortiz is a big fan of Tom Brady. But his diet? The love only goes so far.

This week, the now-retired slugger appeared on the Pardon My Take podcast to discuss his Red Sox career and a bit of his retirement.

Ortiz, who says he hasn't picked up a bat since retiring in 2016, also had some thoughts to share on New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who he called "the magician" and "the G.O.A.T."

From Pardon My Take:

So if he's not adopting the TB12 method, what does Ortiz normally like to eat?

"I crush seafood," he said when asked about his favorite food.

Ortiz confirmed -- once again -- that there's no way he's coming out of retirement. However, he was given a hypothetical scenario: If he did decide to come back and play, what would his numbers look like?

"The only thing I can guarantee you, I'm gonna hit a home run -- at some point," Ortiz said. "I just don't know when."

That sort of late-career exploit would put him on part with former teammate Kevin Millar, who came out of retirement last year for a one at-bat publicity stunt with the St. Paul Saints at the age of 45. (Millar hit a dinger in his one at-bat.)
