Could the Boston Red Sox actually land their biggest rival's superstar? It would make sense.
The Boston Red Sox aren't too far away from being considered among the top contenders in the American League.
Boston has overachieved so far in 2024. There weren't many people who expected the Red Sox to be in contention for a playoff spot and yet here we are. Boston is eight games above .500 and is just 2 1/2 games behind the Kansas City Royals for the final American League Wild Card spot. There's a lot to like about this Red Sox team. They are young and hungry and will get even better as the club's top prospects make the jump to the big leagues. ItThe 2024 season will end over the next few months and then free agency will be here and the top player certainly will be superstar slugger Juan Soto.

"Expert predictions range from ' Trout’s contract' to $600M."
Boston has stayed away from massive contracts recently, but Soto would be worth it. He is just 25 years old and already is considered by many to be a future first-ballot Hall of Famer. Soto is one of the best players in baseball and every team should be in the market for someone like him.Patrick McAvoy's experiences include local and national sports coverage at the New England Sports Network with a focus on baseball and basketball.
