Masataka Yoshida Admits Red Sox Tenure ‘Wasn’t What I Expected’

“Honestly… these three years weren’t what I expected,” Yoshida said on Saturday to Athletic as his role stays unclear amid Boston’s crowded OF/DH mix and trade chatter. Asked if a move would help, he said, “It’s hard to say… all my thinking right now is to perform.” Yoshida has hit .282 with a .762 OPS in 303 games in 2025.
