The Boston Red Sox seem primed to enter another season with a logjam in the outfield. Part of said logjam is outfielder-turned designated hitter-turned outfielder again Masataka Yoshida.
Yoshida is entering the fourth year of his contract with the Red Sox, still without a permanent home position. His laundry list of injuries and inconsistency at the plate haven't helped Boston find him a long-term job.
Reporter Chris Cotillo of MassLive thinks that job will come with another team. In his list of 26 predictions for the 2026 season, Cotillo expects Yoshida to be off the roster by Opening Day.
