While Shohei Ohtani put in a masterful two-way performance at the World Baseball Classic, Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida likewise made a big impact ahead of his major league rookie season. Yoshida, who signed a reported five-year, $90 million deal with the Red Sox, batted cleanup in Japan's final three games of the tournament and had a WBC record of 13 RBIs.
The Red Sox's roster is starting to take shape as they close in on an Opening Day matchup against the Baltimore Orioles on March 30. Boston manager Alex Cora and chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom still have some decisions to make, however. The Red Sox still need a fifth starter as they wait for Brayan Bello and Garrett Whitlock to get back up to speed.
