Shohei Ohtani Interested in Joining Boston Red Sox, Cites New Balance Sponsorship
Los Angeles Angels pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s upcoming free agency has garnered significant attention, with his absence from games due to right-sided pain adding intrigue. In a recent report by local Red Sox broadcast station NESN, it was revealed that Ohtani has expressed interest in joining the Red Sox. One of the reasons cited for this interest is the Boston-based headquarters of New Balance, a brand with whom Ohtani signed a sponsorship contract this season.
The article also highlights the longstanding relationship between Ohtani and a National League team executive, further fueling speculation about his potential move to the Red Sox. Esteemed reporter and American Baseball Hall of Fame member, Peter Gammons, was quoted saying, “He has a relationship with the CEO of New Balance, Jim Davis.”
New Balance, whose headquarters are in Boston, has a sponsorship deal with Ohtani, making the Red Sox an appealing option for the talented player. Gammons suggests that Ohtani could be a valuable addition to the Red Sox roster, potentially taking on the role of designated hitter, with outfielder Masanao Yoshida also joining the team.
