Masataka Yoshida will wear unique patch on Red Sox Opening Day uniform

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:49:51 GMT

Masataka Yoshida is a unique rookie.When he makes his major league debut on Thursday afternoon, he’ll do so as a gold medalist in the Olympics and World Baseball Classic.And, as a rookie who’s never played a minor league game.It’s not unheard of; since MLB implemented the draft in 1965, 22 players have gone directly from the draft to the majors. Garrett Crochet is the most recent case; he debuted with the Chicago White Sox in 2020, three months after they selected him 11th overall in the draft.Yoshida’s case is different. He’s a rookie who spent seven seasons as one of the Japanese Nippon Professional Baseball league’s best hitters. A two-time Pacific League batting champion, he slashed .327/.421/.539 with 884 hits (301 for extra bases) in 762 regular-season games with the Orix Buffaloes, with stunning plate discipline; he drew 421 walks and only struck out 300 times. Among his many achievements, he was an NPB All-Star and Pacific League Best Nine...

Tapia, Ort make opening day roster, Mondesi to 60-day IL

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:49:51 GMT

Coming off a blistering camp that saw him rank among the club’s most productive players all spring, outfielder Raimel Tapia seemed a foregone conclusion to make the Red Sox opening day roster, especially after top competitor Jarren Duran was optioned on Tuesday.The only question was how the Red Sox would clear space for him, and the solution will unfortunately rule out one of the club’s most intriguing newcomers for at least the season’s first two months.Adalberto Mondesi, the shortstop acquired in exchange for ex-Sox lefty Josh Taylor earlier this offseason, is being placed on the 60-day injured list to accommodate Tapia on the 40-man roster. Right-handed reliever Kaleb Ort also earned the final bullpen spot, with the club opting not to add a second lefty while Joely Rodriguez is on the shelf.Mondesi has been rehabbing a torn ACL suffered last April, and while Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he hasn’t experienced any setbacks, he also isn’t progressing as quickly as the club hoped.“...

The average long-term U.S. mortgage rate inched down this week to its lowest level in six weeks, just as the spring buying season gets underway.Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported Thursday that the average on the benchmark 30-year rate fell for the third straight week, to 6.32%, from 6.42% last week. The average rate a year ago was 4.67%.The recent decline in mortgage rates is good news for prospective homebuyers, as many were pushed to the sidelines during the past year as the Federal Reserve cranked up its main borrowing rate nine straight times in a bid to bring down stubborn, four-decade high inflation.Also helping buyers, home prices appear to be leveling off.
