Whether the Red Sox will ultimately win the Juan Soto sweepstakes isn\u2019t yet known, but it\u2019s clear their pursuit has been a full-fledged one.<\/p>\n

MassLive\u2019s Chris Cotillo on Sunday relayed that someone within the industry described Boston\u2019s run at the superstar as \u201can A+ effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was reported last week all contenders for Soto, including the Red Sox, offered the 26-year-old a contract worth more than $600 million.<\/p>\n

The New York Post\u2019s Jon Heyman followed up with some historic numbers, reporting the New York Yankees and New York Mets increased their offers to more than $700 million. Heyman indicated the four teams still fighting for Soto \u2014 again, including the Red Sox \u2014 are thought to be on \u201cequal ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

Red Sox president and CEO Sam Kennedy expressed Boston would spend this offseason in hopes of competing in the American League East for years to come. Boston has tried to give Soto the biggest bag in the organization\u2019s history, and the team\u2019s involvement for other top-of-market contributors speaks volumes as well.<\/p>\n
