The Boston Red Sox are striving to stay competitive in one of the most high-profile offseason pursuits.
The Red Sox are in contention alongside the New York Mets and New York Yankees for the 26-year-old star, with The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal shedding light on how these teams are positioned in the race for the talented outfielder.
“The Mets are widely regarded as the favorite for Soto, with many in the industry believing team owner Steve Cohen will outbid any rivals,” Rosenthal explained. “However, the Yankees are eager to keep Soto as a complement to Aaron Judge, and the Red Sox have emerged as a surprising contender in the negotiations.”
Rosenthal also noted that the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays are involved but are considered “long shots” to land Soto. The offers for him have reached staggering levels, promising to make waves throughout the league when a deal is finalized. The ultimate question is when Soto will make his decision, which is poised to be the offseason’s most pivotal moment. Should he choose Boston, it could significantly reshape their 2025 outlook.
The clock is ticking for Soto as the MLB Winter Meetings in Dallas approach next week.
