The Boston Red Sox is seriously considering major roster moves. It is not a secret that the BoSox have had humiliating consecutive last-place finishes in the AL East. With one of the most sought-after free agents within reach, it’s about time that Boston makes a decision. Could that be the rumored reason why “Shohei Ohtani and the Red Sox are starting to be linked more and more”?
In a world where BoSox does onboard the two-way phenom, the world would witness Boston on the verge of building a Japanese empire. With pitching out of the question for Shohei Ohtani owing to his injury, Boston could use some assistance hitting. While Boston poses a “Real Threat” fans are enticed by the possible Japanese trio in the team.
Will Shohei Ohtani Be a Part of Boston’s Trio?

Boston Sports Enjoyer took to Twitter and tweeted their emotions about Boston’s near future with the dual-role star. The Red Sox currently have a Japanese player, outfielder Masataka Yoshida, on their team. Moreover, if rumors are true, the Red Sox may also land pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, even if they have to go to war against the Yankees. With Ohtani perhaps on the team too, the strength of the team will blow up! The tweet of a rottweiler jamming away to VTMNTSCOAT, a song by Destroy Lonely, perfectly sums up the emotion.

It is of value to note that earlier this offseason, Ohtani, showed interest in Boston for a reason. Peter Gammons, a tenured baseball reporter, attributed Ohtani’s inclination toward Boston is his strong relationship with the CEO of his sponsor New Balance, headquartered in Boston. With that, owing to the three extraordinary seasons that Ohtani put up, one can only wait and watch.
Quantifying the Los Angeles Angels’ star next year is a tough job. He won’t be pitching in 2024 as he recovers from a torn UCL. However, he will be hitting next year. The restrictions of pitching next season may greatly affect his contract in the upcoming free agency. Amidst the convoluted calculations and acquisition rumors, fans have poured their hearts out on the potential-Japanese-dynasty in the making.
Fans’ Twitter Comment Flurry
Ranging from opinions on budgetary constraints to Boston’s delusional ambition, the fans said it all. Not only did some target the team’s capability, but also ridiculed the thought of the two-way star in Boston.
Sarcasm flowed in.
Delusion

In case the trio were to be built, the Red Sox would indeed be “unstoppable”
very stoppable team

One fan even brought up the possibility of the Chicago Cubs having Ohtani on board.
