Masataka Yoshida had a frustrating season in 2024, being relegated to a platoon role in the offense. Even worse, Yoshida didn't see time in the outfield, so he was a designated hitter who wouldn't always hit.
At Red Sox Fenway Fest on Saturday, Boston manager Alex Cora finally provided a definitive reason as to why Yoshida was scratched almost entirely from the defense. 'The throwing part of it wasn't there so that's the reason he actually didn't play.'
Cora did add that the door is open for Yoshida to return to the outfield in 2025, which could rehabilitate his value, and confidence, in 2025.
