In an interview with
The Japan Times,
Red Sox closer Koji Uehara stated that he likes the moves his team has made this off-season. Said Koji,
"I think it’s going to be a really good team." The 40-year old Uehara said of his new two-year contract,
"I’m grateful. I believe I am indebted to the team and I want to do my best to repay that." Despite the fact that Manager
John Farrell has named Koji as the team's closer, Uehara takes a different view:
"Although I’m getting a good salary, regular jobs aren’t etched in stone. I want to compete consistently. My intent is to win the (closer) role." Gotta love it!
