As the MLB offseason is officially underway, all eyes in the baseball world are turning to Shohei Ohtani and where he could go next.
It appears that place could be Boston. The Red Sox were listed as one of the 10 teams on ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez’s list of likely destinations for Ohtani, noting that the two-way superstar might have legitimate interest in Boston.
“Ohtani, people around him say, has long been intrigued by Boston,” Gonzalez wrote. “The fact that New Balance, which signed him to a massive endorsement deal, is based there might help.”
While the Red Sox could have an inherent advantage to land Ohtani because of New Balance, there’ll obviously be many other factors in where he’ll pick to play next.
