The Red Sox Are Circumventing The Rules; Masataka Yoshida Injury Timeline Exposes It

Masataka Yoshida has magically healed… the second Rafael Devers was traded. If you don’t smell what’s cooking here, you haven’t been paying attention. This isn’t a rehab success story — it’s a blatant case of roster manipulation, and it needs to be called out for what it is: Rule Circumvention!

The Boston Red Sox clearly circumvented MLB’s IL rules, and there’s no hiding this evidence.

Yoshida’s Injury Never Made Sense:

• Let’s rewind. Yoshida was dealing with a shoulder problem, not a lower-body injury.
• He’s been swinging a bat since Spring Training. A pure DH should’ve been able to contribute weeks, and maybe even months ago, if hitting was the only thing being asked of him.
• If he can hit and doesn’t need to throw, why wasn’t he DH’ing all along?

The Real Reason He Wasn’t Activated:

• It wasn’t about his shoulder. It was about the roster.
• The Red Sox had nowhere to stash Yoshida because of the logjam with Devers locked into the DH spot.
• So instead, they manufactured an injury timeline to buy time and skirt around DFA decisions or a crowded lineup. They pretended he wasn’t ready. Now he is? Right after a Devers trade? Please.

Because manager Alex Cora has no forward-thinking ability, he exposed the corruption behind all of it without even meaning to do so.

VIA Mass Live:

“We’re going to meet tonight or tomorrow to go over a few things. Let’s see if we can speed up the process,” manager Alex Cora said Tuesday at T-Mobile Park. “He can swing the bat. Now it’s a matter of him getting at-bats and all that. But at the same time, respecting the rehab of the shoulder. So we’ll decide that sooner rather than later. And we’ll go from there.”

Oh, so now Yoshida is magically healthy again. BS. Please tell me someone else is smart enough to spot the clear and obvious circumventing of the rules here…

I am in no way, shape, or form a medical expert. However, Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that the surgery that Yoshida had should have taken three months to recover. Yoshida had his surgery back in October. It’s now June, and again… he’s been swinging a bat since February…

MLB’s Convenient Blind Eye:

• This isn’t just bad optics. It’s a violation of competitive integrity.
• MLB rosters aren’t supposed to have phantom IL stashes. We’ve seen teams tiptoe this line before, but this one’s egregious.
• Why is nobody investigating the timing? This is far worse than anything LTIR wise the NHL has dealt with.

This Is a Pattern With Breslow:

• First, a public admission that he doesn’t understand team building.
• Then, a disastrous Devers trade that made no baseball sense.
• Now, suddenly, an injury timeline that conveniently collapses the day Devers is gone.
• Either Breslow’s lying, or Yoshida was healthy and benched for months. Either way, you can’t hide this evidence.

The Red Sox have been caught manipulating the IL to circumvent roster rules. But you won’t see that from the rest of the Boston media.

You’ll only see it here. At Vendetta. Where we expose what the others are too scared to say out loud.
