Chief baseball officer Craig Breslow, alongside several other team affiliates, underwent a three-hour meeting in November with Soto, making their initial pitch to the 26-year-old.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Red Sox might not be done saying their piece just yet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Red Sox have expressed interest in an additional meeting in which (Scott) Boras and Soto would identify a price that would get a deal done,\u201d The Boston Globe\u2019s Alex Speier reported Thursday. \u201cIt\u2019s unknown if such a meeting has been or will be granted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many believe Soto is poised to choose a landing spot before the end of next week\u2019s MLB Winter Meetings and could make a decision prior to things kicking off in Dallas on Sunday. No teams have been ruled out so far. The projected contract figures could exceed the $600 million mark to make the offseason\u2019s hottest commodity the highest-paid player in MLB \u2014 in annual salary since Shohei Ohtani deferred part of his $700 million Los Angeles Dodgers contract.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If the previous signs such as Boston\u2019s first meeting with Soto, its reported interest in other names around the league, or the campaign job done by David Ortiz, weren\u2019t convincing enough, this meeting request should be. The Red Sox were rumored to be willing to open their checkbooks from the start of the offseason. In fact, Boras, Soto\u2019s agent, was among those vouching for Boston in November.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn our meetings, (the Red Sox) are definitely letting us know that ownership is committed, that they\u2019re wanting to secure high-level players and that they\u2019re definitely planning on being very active in the free agent market,\u201d Boras said, per The Athletic\u2019s Jen McCaffrey.<\/p>\n<p>The next step \u2014 getting a thumbs up from Soto\u2019s camp \u2014 would be a major leap and could seal the deal for Boston once and for all. That\u2019s jumping the gun, but so far, nothing has suggested that the Red Sox aren\u2019t willing to go the extra mile \u2014 or two \u2014 to put themselves in position to hang with the league\u2019s big spenders.<\/p>\n<p>It was said that Boston\u2019s first meeting \u201cimpressed\u201d Soto, so can the Red Sox top their first presentation and plate home the deciding handshake? The coming days should tell.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox are said to have made an urgent request with Juan Soto&#8217;s team before the 26-year-old makes his free agency decision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
