‘It’s an emotional time’: Red Sox leadership addressed the David Ortiz situation
“It’s appropriate and expected that this community rally around David when he needs us the most."
As news continues to surface regarding the shooting of former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, the Red Sox held a press conference Monday afternoon to elaborate more on the devastating news.
“David Ortiz was one of the most beloved, celebrated members of the Red Sox,” Red Sox President and CEO Sam Kennedy read in an opening statement.“Please know that we are doing everything we can to support David and his family during this very difficult period.”
Ortiz, who was shot outside of a nightclub in the Dominican Republic on Sunday evening, underwent a six-hour surgery. While the incident was ‘jarring’ and his condition is serious, Kennedy assures that Ortiz is currently ‘stable’.
