The Red Sox have rarely been mentioned as major players in the bidding war for Shohei Ohtani that will take place this offseason. But some people believe that Boston would not be a far-fetched destination for the two-way superstar next year.
On Thursday, The New York Post’s Jon Heyman gave the Red Sox 14-1 odds of signing Ohtani this winter. That gives the Red Sox the fourth-highest odds to sign Ohtani, trailing only the Los Angeles Dodgers (2-1), San Diego Padres (7-1) and his current team, the Los Angeles Angels (12-1).
