[okfine]

Outfielder Masataka Yoshida. Will he be as good in MLB as Ohtani?

"According to ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan, outfielder Masataka Yoshida has agreed to sign with the Boston Red Sox. Per the report, it's a five-year, $85 million with a $15 million posting fee heading to Yoshida's current club, the Orix Buffaloes"

"Yoshida is 29 years old and has played for the Buffaloes since 2016. But he's really emerged as an elite talent over the past couple of years"

"Yoshida is a four-time NPB All-Star and a two-time Pacific League batting champion. In 2021 he won the NPB Home Run Derby and led Japan to a gold medal in baseball at the Olympics in Tokyo"

Ohtani has already accomplished things in MLB that may never be equaled. We had to go back to young Babe Ruth to find a comparison and Ruth came up short.

Rumor is the Dodgers are saving for an Ohtani deal, but it depends on how the Trevor Bauer fiasco pans out... Luxury tax roadblock woes if the Dodgers have to pay Bauer.
