It doesn't appear that opposing teams are attempting to acquire Boston Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida in trades due to his hefty contract, according to Alex Speier of the Boston Globe.

"The Red Sox have remained open to dealing outfielder Masataka Yoshida this offseason, but there's been virtually no interest from teams in assuming the remaining four years and $72 million he's owed," Speier wrote.

In 140 games during the 2023 season, Yoshida hit .289 with 15 home runs and 72 RBIs. He finished with the sixth-most votes for the American League Rookie of the Year award.
