The Boston Red Sox were surprise contenders for Juan Soto and, at one point, seemed the favorites to land him this offseason. However, their 15-year $700 million offer didn't come close to the top two suitors — the New York clubs.
The Red Sox were also linked to players like Corbin Burnes, Max Fried and Alex Bregman. However, as per Sean McAdam of Fenway Rundown, the team was never in contention for the top two pitchers.
Red Sox insider Jarred Carrabis echoed these words and said that the "backlash" stemming from such an offseason could be massive in the context of Boston baseball.
"If this is true — after all the hype this winter, the backlash will be monumental and perhaps unforgivable," Carrabis tweeted on Tuesday. "Last straw kinda stuff with a fraction of the fan base and I don’t think I could blame them."
