Boston Red Sox fans have pleaded with their favorite team’s ownership to return to spending on big free agents as it did in the first many years since the Curse of the Bambino was broken.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 12, a report gave Red Sox Nation its first offseason glimmer of hope in a long time. MLB insider Jeff Passan reported Boston will\u00a0meet with superstar free agent Juan Soto this week.<\/p>\n

Red Sox fans have been conditioned\u00a0not to take rumors around Boston’s interests seriously \u2014 multiple unimpressive free agent offers have led the Red Sox to be outbid for the market’s best talent in the past few offseasons. But Passan reports Soto is at “the top of [Boston’s] want list,” and it’s been aggressive in pursuing the outfielder.<\/p>\n

Soto is a generational talent who can slug for extra bases and get on base at an astronomical clip. His .421 career on-base percentage would help the strikeout-heavy Red Sox better use their three outs in each inning he bats. Soto also mashed a career-high 41 homers in his walk year with the Yankees. He could use Fenway Park’s short right field to his advantage as he did at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox will meet with Juan Soto and have been aggressive in their pursuit of the outfielder, per MLB insider Jeff Passan<\/h2>\n
