Star Japanese slugger previously linked to Red Sox expected to be posted to MLB

The 2025-26 offseason will prove crucial in the Boston Red Sox's attempt to get over the hump with this current crop of players. A No. 2 starting pitcher, some high-leverage bullpen arms, and a slugging corner infielder top of the current list of priorities for Craig Breslow and the front office.

It'd also be nice if the team could add a (relatively) cheap, young player to join the current core of top prospects and 20-something stars with long-term extensions. If that could all be done while the franchise expands its foothold in the Japanese market, all the better.
