David Ortiz is hoping to hit a grand slam with the sale of his $12.5 million mansion near Miami.

The iconic Boston Red Sox slugger (aka Big Papi) purchased the vacant property with his wife Tiffany in 2016 for $1.5 million.

The couple is now reportedly divorcing, according to legal documents, which suggests the apparent split may have prompted the listing.

After Ortiz purchased the land seven years ago, he commissioned a 10,178-square-foot mansion fit for a Hall of Famer. The home is in Pinecrest, FL, a suburban village in Miami-Dade County.

Set on a bit more than an acre, the property features lush greenery and several water features. Inside, Papi’s pad boasts a grand, two-story entry with floor-to-ceiling windows.

The open floor plan is arranged with soaring ceilings, gorgeous light fixtures, and high-end finishes. A gourmet chef’s kitchen features luxury appliances, dual wall ovens, an oversized island with bar seating, and a separate dining area.

The home’s amenities include a galaxy-like, custom theater with a bar; a “Boom Boom” sports bar with a high-definition video wall and outdoor access; and state-of-the-art home automation that includes the exterior fire pits, water fountains, and music, according to the listing.

The home’s five bedrooms are all two stories and have private staircases and outdoor access.

A spectacular primary bedroom boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the backyard, plus a hidden television that folds down from the ceiling.

The primary bathroom’s focal point is an extraordinary floating tub and eye-popping, 16-foot-long shower.

The resortlike outdoor area features a pool, spa, gazebo with a kitchen, an outdoor shower, and several covered terraces.

There are also three fire pits, staff quarters, and a three-car garage with space for lifts.

Ortiz, 47, starred for 20 seasons in the big leagues and won three World Series titles with Boston. A 10-time All Star, who swatted more than 500 home runs, Ortiz was voted into Baseball’s Hall of Fame in 2022.
