The Red Sox are waiting until the price is right.
Boston Red Sox could trade $90 million outfielder if the right trade offer comes up originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Boston Red Sox situation involving Masataka Yoshida has been an issue for what seems like two years now, and there doesn’t seem to be a clear answer on what will happen.
However, Chris Cotillo of MassLive believes Yoshida’s situation is a “good problem,” saying that his value shows the Red Sox are very good to have this type of problem. “It is a good problem to have, but it's a problem nonetheless,” Cotillo said . “It just comes down to, can they get a reasonable trade offer?
I think if they do, they'd be willing to pull the trigger and move on from him. “If not, there are worse things in the world than rolling out a 26-man Opening Day roster with this guy who's a proven big leaguer as your fourth, fifth outfielder and a bench bat. ” On the one hand, Yoshida is a productive, proven hitter who can help in multiple ways.
On the other hand, Boston might not want to deal with the injuries he’s faced recently. Even when healthy, he doesn’t have much of a place to play. Keeping Yoshida as a depth piece would help the roster, but he isn’t cheap, so that’s problem No.
