Yoshinobu Yamamoto is one of the hottest pitching prospects of the offseason, and the Red Sox are in desperate need of an ace pitcher.
So, it’s no surprise that Boston has already reportedly scouted him this year, and now they’re being linked together. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman posted on X on Saturday that Boston and star Japan pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto are connected.
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand also recently listed the Red Sox as a “potential fit” for him, along with the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets.
Yamamoto, the ace of the Orix Buffaloes of Nippon Professional Baseball, will most likely be posted for MLB teams and become a free agent this offseason.
