Soto seemingly hasn\u2019t ruled out the Red Sox as a potential destination, as he reportedly hasn\u2019t yet received any offers and inquired about Boston\u2019s offerings.<\/p>\n<p>Browne highlighted the storied club\u2019s most compelling selling points, including a great fit at Fenway Park, the franchise\u2019s history with Dominican players and the prospect of winning for years to come. While the Yankees and\/or Mets might pique Soto\u2019s interest at a higher level, the Red Sox seem to have enough to have a legitimate conversation at the negotiating table.<\/p>\n<p>The four-time All-Star is widely expected to make his free agency decision before the Winter Meetings begin Dec. 9. While Boston winning the Soto sweepstakes before that benchmark would be a surprise, it seems like it will be in the race until the final phase.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nesn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/07\/cropped-Adam-London-96x96.jpg\" alt=\"Red Sox Reportedly 'Sneaky Contender' To Make Monster Move\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>\n<h3>Adam London @_adamlondon<\/h3>\n<p>Digital Content Producer for NESN.com<\/p>\n<p>NESN.com digital content producer by way of UMass Amherst and the South Shore of Massachusetts.
