Will Masataka Yoshida, who is losing ground that he cannot use as an outfielder, continue to accompany the Boston Red Sox? Local media predicted that Yoshida will not be a member of the Boston Red Sox by the end of the spring camp.
MassLiveCom, a media outlet in Boston, predicted on the 3rd (Korea time) that Masataka Yoshida will no longer use Fenway Park as his home at the end of the spring camp in the process of predicting the Boston Red Sox's 2025.
Yoshida, who is called Japan's "genius hitter," started his professional career in 2015 after being nominated by Orix Buffaloes in the first round of the Japanese professional baseball rookie draft. Yoshida, who recorded 67 hits, 10 homers, 34 RBIs and a batting average of 0.290 OPS 0.854 in 63 games in his first season of his debut, and played in 64 games the following year with 71 hits, 12 homers, 38 RBIs and a batting average of 0.311 OPS of 0.958, has been reborn as a perfect starting player since 2018.
Yoshida, who has sophisticated contact ability to hit more than 30% every year in Japan, where the "go-to-taser" phenomenon is very prominent, cannot be expected to hit more than 30 home runs, but still has the power to send balls out of the fence when necessary, has challenged the 안전놀이터 Major League after playing in 762 games in seven seasons with an excellent performance of 885 hits, 133 home runs, 467 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.327 OPS of 0.940.
As a result, Yoshida successfully acquired a big five-year contract worth 90 million U.S. dollars with the Boston Red Sox ahead of the 2023 season. However, public opinion on the contract was not very good. The fact that the team awarded too much money to an unverified player against Major League pitchers. At the time, not only the U.S. media but also other teams gave unfavorable attention to the Boston Red Sox contract.
As a result, Yoshida demonstrated her value with the bat. Just before joining the Boston Red Sox, she performed well at the World Baseball Classic with nine hits, two homers, 13 RBIs and a batting average of 0.409 OPS of 1.259; and even after joining the big league, she performed well with 155 hits, 15 homers, 72 RBIs, 71 runs and eight steals in 140 games with a batting average of 0.289 OPS of 0.783. However, the problem lay elsewhere.
The batting talent can be fully recognized in the major leagues, but the defense was so disastrous. In particular, the defense at Fenway Park, where the "Green Monster" is located, was disastrous. It even took all the points from the hitting to the defense. Yoshida was recruited as an outfielder, but he faced a situation where he had no choice but to use him as a designated hitter.
In particular, Yoshida suffered a severe slump at the beginning of the 2024 season and lost her footing sharply, and even suffered an injury to make matters worse. Nevertheless, she showed performance similar to that of her debut season with 106 hits, 10 homers, 56 RBIs, and a batting average of 0.280 OPS of 0.764 in 108 games, proving that she can still be helpful in terms of offense. However, it was a clear sign that she played only one game as an outfielder this year.
In the end, "MLB.com " even reported that Boston tried to use Yoshida as a trade card after the season was over. He seemed to feel burdened by paying $55.8 million (about 81.9 billion won) more over the next three years to Yoshida, who has poor defense to use as a built-in designated hitter and who has poor defense to use as an outfielder. Among them, "Math Live Dotcom" also predicted that Yoshida would not finish her career in Boston.
"Yoshida will not be a member of Boston by the end of spring camp in late March," Boston's local media "Math Live. Boston knows it is more appropriate to exclude Yoshida from the roster and replace him with a player like Teoscar Hernandez." In the end, the media suggested that Yoshida could be transferred if he was not used as a trade card.
"In order to balance the roster, you can make a trade that pays part of your salary, or if there is no trade target, you can make a difficult decision to name Yoshida," "Math Live dotcom said. "Yoshida is not completely worthless, but it will be more helpful to be out." Yoshida, who has been mentioned more in bad ways than in good articles every year since her debut season.
