Arizona Diamondbacks send:
Masataka Yoshida, OF, BOS - 2024: $20MM, 2025 - $20MM, 2026 - $20MM, 2027: $20MM
Los Angeles Angels send:
LAA’s 2025 1st round pick Alfredo Duno, C, CIN - MiLB
I like Yoshida and think he’ll build upon his numbers from last year after getting some MLB experience under his belt, but ultimately I felt like his salary could be better spent elsewhere to fill other holes on my team. Thanks to Todd for the easy discussions, and best of luck to him this year! Over to him to confirm.

Angels confirm.
Yoshida slots in right away as an upgrade/replacement for Verdugo in the final year of this contract for me. Yoshida isn't a big power or steals guy, but an .800 OPS with incredibly low strikeout numbers should be an elite asset in this league regardless.
Good talks and good luck to Sam.
