The Red Sox and Japanese outfielder Masataka Yoshida have agreed to terms on a contract, according to ESPN.
The 29 year old hit .335/.447/.551 with 21 home runs and 88 RBIs for the Orix Buffaloes in Japan’s NPB last season. The 5-foot-8, 170-pounder led the Buffaloes to a Japan Series title this year.
Chaim Bloom on Yoshida: "He's someone that we really like and spent a lot of time on. Really, really good hitter, quality at-bat. Great talent."
