The Boston Red Sox were active players at the Winter Meetings, making a serious attempt to land outfielder Juan Soto, though ultimately falling short. Despite the disappointment, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow emphasized the importance of being engaged in pursuing top talent. The team remains flexible in their pursuit of improving the roster, identifying starting pitching as a key area of need.
While the focus has been on rebuilding the farm system in recent years, the Red Sox are now shifting their attention back to the big-league team. Breslow expressed a willingness to address short-term needs, even if it means trading from both the big-league and prospect pools. The team’s priority is to improve the major league team and contend in the upcoming season.
The Red Sox are also expected to add to their bullpen and are rumored to have signed Aroldis Chapman to a one-year deal. This renewed focus on competitiveness has generated excitement among fans, but team officials are aware that follow-through is necessary to meet expectations. Manager Alex Cora and Breslow are optimistic about the team’s future prospects and are ready to deliver results on the field.
