"Japanese third baseman/first baseman Kazuma Okamoto has traveled to the US to meet in-person with teams in advance of his fast-approaching signing deadline."
"Regardless of whether the Sox are meaningful players in this pursuit, this should speed up their offseason by clarifying the third base picture around the league."
"Talk about what you want and be good to one another."
Kazuma Okamoto traveled to the United States to meet in person with multiple MLB clubs as his international signing deadline approaches. Teams will evaluate his defensive versatility, bat profile, and fit at both third base and first base during these meetings. The in-person visits should compress decision timelines for interested clubs and prompt quicker roster moves. For the Red Sox, Okamoto meeting other teams can clarify whether the club must pursue an external third-base upgrade or can shift focus to other roster priorities. The accelerated timeline may influence trades, free-agent signings, and internal options across the league.
