Weighing the pros and cons of a Shohei Ohtani signing for the Red Sox

COMMENTARY

Changes are coming for the Red Sox this winter.

With Boston coming off of a last-place finish for the third time in four seasons, Craig Breslow and the Red Sox need to make a splash (or two … or three) during the offseason to shift the narrative around a team marred with inactivity and lackluster returns out on the field.

And if the Red Sox are willing to open up their checkbook in search of a splash, you can’t get any better than Shohei Ohtani.

The 29-year-old megastar — fresh off of a second AL MVP honor in three seasons — is primed to land the heftiest contract in MLB history, if not in all of North American sports.
