David Ortiz Advocates for Juan Soto to Join Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are actively pursuing superstar outfielder Juan Soto, following a productive meeting that left Soto impressed. Red Sox legend David Ortiz expressed his hope for Soto's signing, emphasizing his potential to be a transformative player similar to Ortiz himself. Ortiz noted that Soto's ability to communicate with both American and Latin players makes him a perfect fit for the team. Soto, who recently had a stellar season with the Yankees, is projected to command one of the largest contracts in MLB history, potentially exceeding $600 million. While the New York Yankees and Mets are seen as frontrunners for Soto, the Red Sox are presenting a compelling case with their rich history of Dominican players. Ortiz believes that pairing Soto with Rafael Devers could usher in a new era for the Red Sox akin to his past partnership with Manny Ramirez.
