There are a ton of similarities between the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox. The SF Giants find themselves big-game hunting once again, with Shohei Ohtani at the top of their list. The Red Sox may be out on Ohtani, but pitching is their biggest need and Yoshinobu Yamamoto tops the Sox's wishlist.

Locked On Giants and Locked On Red Sox discuss the similarities between their two historic franchises, and what each must do to achieve their similar offseason goals. Both the SF Giants and the Red Sox have big bad bully rivals in the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Yanks just acquired Juan Soto, and the Dodgers are considered the favorites to sign Ohtani.

But don't sleep on the Giants with Ohtani. They were finalists for his services last time around before he ultimately chose the Angels, and there are legitimate arguments to make that LA might not be the best fit for him. Does Ohtani really want to take the easy road? Perhaps. But he has a deep admiration for Buster Posey and likes to be challenged. What better way than to join the team that rivals the team with the game's biggest stars?
