Dodgers entering Juan Soto market brings back bad Red Sox memories
The Boston Red Sox are far from the leading contenders for Juan Soto’s services, and as long as the Mets and Yankees are in the market, they’ll likely remain lower on the list.
But one of the latest teams to enter the Soto sweepstakes could raise alarms for every team involved. Boston has particularly bad luck in free agent races against the Los Angeles Dodgers, though, one of the newest teams in contention for the slugger.
MLB insider Mark Feinsand on Nov. 18 reported that the Dodgers will meet with Soto on Nov. 19. The outfielder has been courting potential future teams in southern California, near the Dodgers’ neck of the woods, and it was only a matter of time before they checked in on the superstar.
It’s still unclear how involved LA will be in the race for Soto’s signature, but most experts predict it’ll take a backseat role after it committed to spending a billion dollars last winter. However, the Dodgers’ recent offseason moves match up with one of Soto’s reported top priorities — a commitment to winning.
