The Boston Red Sox are reportedly entering themselves into the sweepstakes to sign superstar outfielder Juan Soto in free agency this offseason. According

The free-agent market is expected to revolve around Soto. First baseman Pete Alonso, also a Boras client, could become a middle-of-the-order option for the Yankees should Soto sign elsewhere. The Mets, of course, remain in contention to re-sign Alonso.

If the New York Yankees don't re-sign Juan Soto, general manager Brian Cashman could pivot to three players as part of his backup plan.
