The Red Sox have been linked to Shohei Ohtani more and more recently. Executive with potentially interested group says he takes them seriously as a danger.

Ohtani has signed a massive contract with New Balance, based in Boston. The Red Sox have finished last three times in the last four seasons, thus restoring equilibrium is crucial.

Fans of the Red Sox might forget about Mookie Betts if they sign Ohtani. At least for the time being.

The Cubs are financially stable enough to sign him. One must wonder, though, if they will actually spend that much. According to reports, both the Angels and the Dodgers intend to make a move. While most people have written off the current club, Ohtani did have three incredible years in Japan. It’s possible that the Angels are the only major league club not in on pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto because they’re so committed to signing Shohei Ohtani.

It has been said that Ohtani dislikes pitching at Yankee Stadium (27.00 ERA in 3 2/3 innings). However, it’s clear he enjoys hitting in that park (.972 OPS).

The Giants may interview farm director Kyle Haines and third base coach Mark Hallberg for the manager position. The Giants’ inability to sign Farhan Zaidi as president of baseball operations is puzzling. Or, at the very least, extend his contract past 2024.

New Hampshire native Sam Fuld, who finished second to Alex Cora in the previous Boston manager’s race (interestingly, former GM Chaim Bloom was rumored to be quite high on him), is one of the most obvious possibilities for the top Red Sox position. …

General Manager Kim Ng of the Marlins has seen her contract expire, and rightfully so. … Padres general manager A.J. Preller and manager Bob Melvin need to talk things out. Peter Seidler, the owner, requested their return. …

Fortunately, Jordan Montgomery is now a viable starting option for the postseason. Even Sonny Gray has improved his appearance.
