The MLB free agency rumors of the 2017 offseason are swirling when it comes to Shohei Otani and interested teams. The Japanese prospect has already made it known he’d like to play in America, but now it’s a matter of which team will end up with his services. Multiple teams have been rumored as potential landing spots including the American League’s New York Yankees. As of Friday, the Boston Red Sox also made it known they’re interested in acquiring the dual-threat player.
On Friday, Michael Silverman of Boston Herald reported that Boston Red Sox president and CEO Dave Dombrowski confirmed the team’s interest in Otani. This isn’t considered a surprise due to the fact that the Red Sox had scouted the hitting and pitching star previously. While Dombrowski confirmed Boston’s interest in Otani, he also indicated that acknowledging anything beyond that “would be confidential.”
