Boston Red Sox fans infuriated by report they heavily overpaid for Masataka Yoshida: "The hits just keep coming", "Bloom is just getting dragged"

The Boston Red Sox signed Japanese slugger Masataka Yoshida to a big money contract, and reports now indicate it may have been too expensive. Yoshida was a highly-touted free agent after many years of dominance in baseball overseas. He is especially known for being a great offensive player with skills that should translate to the MLB.His deal with the Boston Red Sox is for five years and is worth 85-million-dollars. It was initially seen as a good deal and a very savvy move for a team that is looking to improve quickly. Yoshida will be an MLB rookie, but not of the normal sort. His years of professional experience should set him up well to find success in North American baseball.The report of the Red Sox's overpayment was made by Kiley McDaniel and was posted to Twitter by Beyond The Monster.Beyond the Monster@BeyondtheMnstrESPN's Kiley McDaniel on new Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida:According to &quot;10 sources&quot; he spoke to they all &quot;thought the Red Sox overpaid by a hefty margin.&quot; One executive went as far as to say, &quot;We thought he was worth less than half of what they paid.&quot;881119ESPN's Kiley McDaniel on new Red Sox outfielder Masataka Yoshida:According to &quot;10 sources&quot; he spoke to they all &quot;thought the Red Sox overpaid by a hefty margin.&quot; One executive went as far as to say, &quot;We thought he was worth less than half of what they paid.&quot; https://t.co/FjzSGTnc3XGiven the frantic pace of this year's free agency, this was initially believed to be a good deal.

Now, Boston Red Sox fans see it as yet another free agency blunder that the team has been plagued with.Put It In The Podcast@PIITPBloom is just getting dragged.

If they don't prove that they can compete with the best the MLB has to offer, Chaim Bloom and his staff could be replaced.
