  • David Ortiz is unloading his mansion in the ritzy Pinecrest area of Miami.
  • The Red Sox legend is asking $12.5 million, which would be a record for the area.

David Ortiz is unloading his four-year-old Miami-area mansion and he is looking for a record price for the area.

The house is being exclusively listed by Michael Martinez of One Sotheby's International Realty.

Ortiz and his wife, Tiffany Ortiz, have filed for divorce, and the pair are selling the house because their children are grown, according The Wall Street Journal.

The $12.5 million asking price would be a record for the area, according to Dirt.com. The previous high for Pinecrest was the $10.5 million paid for a house in 2022 by Tyler Herro of the Miami Heat.

Take a look at the swanky estate below.

The house, just southwest of downtown Miami in Pinecrest, is about 17 miles from South Beach.
