Despite several recent rumors suggesting that free agent two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani could head to Boston, it appears as though the Red Sox are now looking elsewhere.
The Red Sox have pulled out of the sweepstakes to sign the two-way superstar, joining two other ballclubs who were once considered to be among the favorites, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported.
“The Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox and New York Mets, who were among the initial group of suitors, have turned their attention to other players, sources said,” Passan wrote in a story previewing the upcoming Winter Meetings.
