"Red Sox Contemplate Trading Masataka Yoshida Amidst Roster Shakeup Speculations"

The Boston Red Sox are considering trade options for outfielder Masataka Yoshida and closer Kenley Jansen, as reported by The Athletic and the Boston Globe. Yoshida, who has a contract with an $18MM annual salary for the next four years, had a decent but not spectacular first MLB season, while Jansen, who will be a free agent after 2024, had a solid season with a 3.63 ERA. The Red Sox are not actively shopping Yoshida but are open to restructuring their outfield. They are also looking to offload salary to pursue other targets, including starting pitching and a right-handed power bat, with free agents like Teoscar Hernández and Jorge Soler being considered. The team is also exploring options in the free agent rotation market, with Shota Imanaga being a potential target.

"Mariners Swap Robbie Ray for Haniger and DeSclafani, Shake Up MLB Free Agency Dynamics"

The Seattle Mariners have made significant moves by reacquiring outfielder Mitch Haniger and adding right-handed pitcher Anthony DeSclafani from the San Francisco Giants, in exchange for left-handed pitcher Robbie Ray. Additionally, they traded for outfielder Luke Raley from the Tampa Bay Rays, sending infielder José Caballero the other way. These trades aim to strengthen the Mariners' outfield and pitching depth, with Haniger bringing a strong track record against left-handers and Raley offering power and versatility. DeSclafani will add experience to the pitching staff, despite recent injuries. The Mariners are focused on building a competitive team for the upcoming season.

Despite the potential of young shortstop Marco Luciano, Zaidi is considering a veteran with flexibility and options for the role. Additionally, the Giants are looking to bolster their starting rotation to compete in the NL West, seeking a co-ace to join Logan Webb. This comes after the Giants have missed out on top free agents and are experiencing a playoff drought.
