The Boston Red Sox are firmly in the mix for Juan Soto as the final week before the MLB Winter Meetings begins.
MLB insider Jon Heyman of the New York Post made a bold prediction about the superstar’s future contract, speculating that Soto could land a deal worth $630 million over 14 years this winter. Heyman noted that Soto’s contract would likely be the second-largest in MLB history, following Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million deal (valued at $437.4 million due to deferrals). In addition to the Mets and Yankees, Heyman mentioned that the Dodgers, Giants, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and even the Rays are all serious contenders for Soto.
A contract of this magnitude would dramatically boost the Red Sox’s offense and send a strong message that Boston is committed to winning. Soto is expected to make his decision in the first half of December, potentially giving one team an unforgettable holiday season.
