It’s Official
December 2008
Tazawa is in. This past Thursday, Tazawa was officially introduced/welcome to the Red Sox organization at a press conference at Fenway Park. Though he was being courted by many programs in Japan and the MLB, Tazawa chose the Red Sox because of their storied history, fellow Japanese players, and Japanese translators. In addition to that, he feels a certain loyalty to the Red Sox since they were the first team to scout him. He is now signed to a 3 year contract with Boston.
