  • FUNAI Electric and Boston Red Sox Announce Year Three of Red Sox
    FUNAI Electric and Boston Red Sox Announce Year Three of Red Sox US-Japan Youth Baseball Exchange Young Japanese baseball players visit Boston this summer Following last year’s visit to Japan by Boston youth For Immediate Release July 23, 2010 BOSTON, MA - The Red Sox Foundation and global electronics giant Funai today jointly announced the third year of the Red Sox US-Japan Youth Baseball Exchange Presented By Funai Electric. The program allows youngsters from Japan and the United States to visit one another’s homelands and explore their customs and culture through baseball. “Japan is a deeply respected member of Red Sox Nation and since the arrival of Daisuke Matsuzaka and Hideki Okajima, interest in Japan among Red Sox fans has grown exponentially,” said Red Sox Chairman Tom Werner. “Through Funai’s generosity, this exchange program provides young baseball fans in Japan and Boston to take part in a life-transforming experience as they explore each other’s cultures through their shared love of baseball.” Over the past two years, the exchange has run in both directions. Last summer, a dozen boys from Boston traveled to Japan and participated in various baseball and cultural activities while living with Japanese host families and exploring Japanese customs and expanding their views of the world through baseball and in the summer of 2008, a dozen Japanese youngsters from Kyoto, sister city of Boston, and Chiba, a suburb of Tokyo, visited Boston staying with local host families for 10 days. For the third straight year, Funai Electric is the Presenting Sponsor of the Red Sox US-Japan Youth Baseball Exchange program, coordinated by the Red Sox Foundation.

    The Boston Red Sox Thursday, November 1, 2018 * The Boston Globe Why the Red Sox feel good about David Price going forward Alex Speier David Price came to Fenway Park ready to celebrate the Red Sox’ 2018 championship season, and hoping to do it again sometime in the next four years. Price had the right to opt out of the final four years and $127 million of the record-setting seven-year, $217 million deal he signed with the Red Sox after the 2015 season by midnight on Wednesday. However, as he basked in the afterglow of his first World Series title, the lefthander said that he would not leave the Red Sox. “I’m opting in. I’m not going anywhere. I want to win here. We did that this year and I want to do it again,” Price said minutes before boarding a duck boat. “There wasn’t any reconsideration on my part ever. I came here to win. We did that this year and that was very special, and now I want to do it again.” Red Sox principal owner (and Globe owner) John Henry was pleased with the decision. While industry opinion was nearly unanimous that Price wouldn’t have been able to make as much money on the open market as he will over the duration of his Red Sox deal, Henry said that the team wasn’t certain of the pitcher’s decision until he informed the club. “[Boston is] a tough town in many ways. I think [the opt-out] was there because it gave him an opportunity to see if he wanted to spend [all seven years here],” said Henry.
