Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora got fans’ hopes up with his reaction to the team’s Juan Soto meeting.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Boston Red Sox met with Juan Soto this week, along with the likes of the Blue Jays, Mets and Yankees. Soto and agent Scott Boras could take more meetings in December, as well, in Texas at the MLB Winter Meetings.<\/p>\n

Soto’s meeting in Boston went well, via those familiar with the situation. Upon first look, I admittedly assumed Soto was using the Red Sox and Blue Jays interest to increase his asking price, presumably for the Mets and Yankees. However, the noise out of Boston the last few days is that they are indeed finally ready to foot the bill on a major star once again. I’ll believe it when I see it.<\/p>\n

Red Sox manager Alex Cora provided fans with even more hope when he was asked about the Soto meeting by MassLive’s Chris Cotillo.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say I went or not,\u201d Cora said Saturday. \u201cObviously, there\u2019s a process in place. We\u2019re trying to gather as much information as possible. This started at the GM Meetings. I\u2019ve been traveling a lot the last six years since I got this job but it\u2019s part of the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

Red Sox might not land Juan Soto, but are taking a step in the right direction<\/h2>\n

While the Red Sox’s chances of actually landing Soto seem slim to none at this juncture, Cora’s comment should still be taken as a good sign by the fanbase. Even should they miss on Boras’s top client, making a good impression could lead to Boston signing one of the many other MLB stars the super-agent represents this free agency period. Heck, even showing they are willing to spend that kind of money has to be a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the talk (internally) has been more about the big league club instead of player development, and that\u2019s a positive for the fan base,\u201d Cora continued, per Cotillo. \u201cWe have a plan in place. We know there\u2019s certain aspects of the roster that we have to improve. I think we\u2019re going to be very aggressive on that.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Sox finished 81-81 this season, with some young pieces showing growth, such as Bryan Bello and Jarren Duran, among others. Adding a top-tier talent in free agency would open their competitive window and then some, even if it is not Soto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
