Red Sox Schedule Meeting with Juan Soto

The Boston Red Sox are set to meet with free-agent outfielder Juan Soto and his agent this week as they look to bolster their roster after finishing the 2024 season at .500. Soto, a four-time All-Star who hit 41 home runs and drove in 109 runs for the Yankees last season, is expected to command a record-breaking contract, potentially exceeding $600 million. While the Red Sox are considered serious contenders for Soto's services, they face stiff competition from teams like the Yankees, Mets, and Blue Jays. The San Francisco Giants are also in the mix, described as 'legit' contenders for Soto, who expressed excitement about testing the free agency market. Given his impressive stats and potential impact, Soto's signing would significantly enhance any team's lineup, making the bidding war particularly intense this offseason.
