It is not racist of Smith to say this. It is logical that having a Japanese speaking player in a English-speaking nation is not optimal.

Fixed it.

He’s talking about marketability of the game. I think Ohtani is making baseball incredibly marketable with his Babe Ruth-esque performance on the field. He’s good for TV ratings and there will be a lot of attention for the Home Run Derby because he’s in it.

The best I can say for Smith is that he’s intentionally throwing firebombs because he wants to generate buzz.
