AL East Notes: Ortiz, Red Sox, Conrad, Blue Jays

A look around the American League East as the Red Sox take on the Marlins at Fenway..

• David Ortiz defended the atmosphere around the Red Sox locker room and lashed out at a report saying that there was a "toxic" atmosphere in Boston, writes Peter Abraham of the Boston Globe.  When asked if he wants to return next season, the slugger said "I don’t know. I’ll think about it."  Ortiz is earning $14.575MM this season and is set to hit the open market after this season.
• Rays‬ skipper Joe Maddon said that the club was interested in Brooks Conrad during the offseason, according to Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Tribune (via Twitter).  Tampa Bay claimed Conrad off of waivers from the Brewers earlier today.
• The Blue Jays promoted Brian Parker to director of amateur scouting, writes Zack Meisel of MLB.com.  Parker will take over for Andrew Tinnish who was promoted to assistant GM yesterday.
