Boras represents some of the biggest names in baseball, and he has a history of dragging things out in hopes of landing his client the best deal possible.<\/p>\n<p>Soto probably won\u2019t take that route, as several reports indicate he will sign a new contract before the calendar flips to 2025. And that expected quick decision could be a product of a lesson Boras learned last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs another MLB executive said, \u2018I expect there to be a decision fairly quickly\u2019 based on Boras\u2019 failed strategies last year,\u201d Klapsich wrote. \u201cHis top two clients, Jordan Montgomery and Blake Snell, were held out until late March and paid a steep price. Snell didn\u2019t sign with the Giants until March 19 and posted a 9.51 ERA in the first half of the season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"UUK4IUQASZCDLMBSKZPPUHNUZA\">\u201cMontgomery waited even longer hoping for a five-year pact. He instead settled for a one-year deal with Arizona on March 27. The left-hander, who wanted to sign with the Red Sox, fired Boras two weeks later.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Not winning the Montgomery sweepstakes proved to be a blessing for Boston. The veteran southpaw was awful in his first season with the Snakes, who watched him post a 6.23 ERA over 117 total innings.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>However, the Red Sox\u2019s need for a frontline starter remains. And if Boston doesn\u2019t land Soto, its primary focus could shift to acquiring a game-changing ace.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most coveted players in MLB free agency last year reportedly wanted to sign with the Boston Red Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":9571,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9570","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 -
