Yamamoto is a “top priority” for the Red Sox, MLB Network’s Jon Morosi reported earlier this week. That has not changed. The Red Sox are “very heavily involved” in the Yamamoto sweepstakes, Morosi said on MLB Network on Friday.
The Red Sox, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, and Chicago Cubs are the top candidates to sign the 25-year-old Pacific League MVP, Morosi wrote on Wednesday.
