Another Ortiz is coming to the Boston Red Sox: David Ortiz's son, D'Angelo, who the Red Sox took with their 19th-round pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.
The Boston Red Sox took a very familiar face in the 19th round of the 2024 MLB Draft — infielder D'Angelo Ortiz out of Miami Dade Community College. D'Angelo's father? Hall of Famer, Red Sox legend and current MLB on FOX analyst David Ortiz. The elder Ortiz was in pre-show meetings for the MLB on FOX All-Star pregame show when D'Angelo called him with the news that he was heading to Boston. 'That was unbelievable,' David Ortiz said on FOX Tuesday.
Ramirez led the majors with 43 homers in 2004, while Ortiz had a league-leading 54 in 2006. The two won nine Silver Sluggers during the span before Ramirez was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2008. Most famously, Ortiz and Ramirez helped lead the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and ‘07, the first of which broke an 86-year championship drought for the storied franchise.
