Just wondering; is any of this Soto stuff real?
You really think the Red Sox would go up against the Yankees & Mets if there wasn’t legit interest from Soto

They would turtle and be negotiating with Teoscar

Also Boras is a media whore and showman with Jon Heyman as his mouthpiece

Pretty damn quiet

It’s not over till over but weirdness right now

Possible scenario - the Sox Dominican greats and Devers have sold him on living and playing in Boston. He’s probably a fan of Cora. The lineup should be jacked and with 4 of top 25 MLB prospects positional players he knows lineup will rake for years. The park is a hitters paradise for lefties with guys like Billy Goodman & Bill Mueller (did love him) winning batting titles - playing D will be easy once gets 50 games playing the wall

Never underestimate Steve Cohen of Mets but if Soto wants to play here it doesn’t matter what Cohen or Boras want

If they get him it will be great then the bonus of the kid who broke, and Boras can’t walk around with his fly undone during the winter meeetings

Other then Lou’s Mets not getting him it’s a win win - and I’ll gladly have him be a Mets if Bob Stanley could have got an out on his first batter in game 6 1986 WS and given Red Sox 4-2 WS win.

We won't know on Soto until he signs somewhere.
And since he has not signed anywhere it would not surprise me to see this as postureing by Soto to try and get one of the NY clubs to offer more money. Not like it has never happened before with a FA.

Basically at this point the consensus is that Boston has the intangibles to allure Soto, Cohen has the endless funds to attract him, and the Yankees have nothing.

I'm not ruling out an 11th hour Dodger surprise though.

If Jon Haymen tweets it’s BS then I’d think it might be - he’s Boras guy.

I keep looking and nothing disputing this from him

Maybe he tweets tonight or tomorrow shooting down

I hope it’s true I deserve a 5th WS in last 21 years for the suffering I did from the 70’s to even having to see 3 last place finishes in last 5 seasons

If he wants to be the man I’m not sure LA is the place

Ortiz, Pedro, and Manny probably explained Dominicans can be the man in Boston

I hope they start selling empanadas there- I know they sold Cuban sandwiches at El Tiantes outside park

Hot dog & a Coke watching Yaz to beer & empanadas watching Soto

Let’s go!!!!!
