MLB Writer Pushes Red Sox To Get Involved In Shohei Ohtani Sweepstakes

  • by

Could the Boston Red Sox jumpstart their offseason by trading for the reigning American League MVP, who doubles as an ace and a No. 3 hitter?

In a full breakdown of how Boston could get out of the basement of the AL East, The Athletic’s Jim Bowden tossed out the idea of ​​giving up a historic haul for Los Angeles Angeles two-way sensation Shohei Ohtani.

“Trying to trade for Shohei Ohtani would be a dream move, as he would fill two huge needs as an impact bat and an ace,” Bowden wrote Friday. “But the Red Sox farm system might not be deep enough to compete with other teams for Ohtani, a unicorn who, if traded this winter, could match or exceed the return in the Juan Soto blockbuster deal.”
