How can the Red Sox sell Juan Soto on Boston? How is the starting pitcher market evolving? John Tomase weighs in on the latest MLB free agency developments.
Juan Soto is going to dominate the headlines until he signs, which many expect to happen around the MLB Winter Meetings from Dec. 8-11.for his services alongside the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, and Blue Jays. Agent Scott Boras loves dangling a"mystery team" in all of his big negotiations, so don't be surprised if we hear about the Phillies or Giants, too, whether they're interested or not.
So they're either going to have to blow him away financially, which will be no easy task with Mets owner Steve Cohen involved, or they're going to have to sell him on being the face of the franchise as a worthy successor to David Ortiz., and last year the two even became neighbors in the same building in the Dominican."When I talk to him, I feel like I'm talking to one of my kids," Ortiz said at the time.
That's because they need pitching more than offense, and at some point, even their resources are finite. So it should comes as little surprise that while the rest of the big spenders are tied up in Soto-mania, L.A. made a shrewd move on the pitching side, signing two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell
