MLB Rumors: Shohei Ohtani Seen as Interested in Red Sox Ahead of 2023 Free Agency

The expected headliner of the upcoming offseason's free agency class is reportedly interested in joining the Boston Red Sox.

According to MLB insider Peter Gammons, one National League executive said he believes Ohtani would like to join the Red Sox. However, Gammons pointed out that the Red Sox already have Masataka Yoshida as a designated hitter and plan on directing money toward pitching.

When healthy, Ohtani is one of the best pitchers in baseball. Yet, he will likely have to be just a hitter in 2024 because of his torn UCL.
