Free agents the Red Sox could sign with the $700 million they planned to give Juan Soto

The Boston Red Sox were unfortunately unable to get Juan Soto, but they proved that they were serious about getting him, offering him $700 million dollars. Now, the Sox could take this money and sign multiple stars to get them in as good a place as they’d be with Soto. With that in mind, here’s a few signings that could make the Red Sox great again.

Max Fried, Atlanta Braves LHP

Fried is the top pitcher the Sox are going for, and for good reason. He’s a lefty, which they desperately need in their rotation, and he’s had a sub-two ERA in most of his career.

Currently, it’s believed the Sox will need to offer $200 million to get him, which is easily done with some of the money the Sox would have given Soto.

Corbin Burnes, Baltimore Orioles RHP

A former Cy Young, Burnes would be a great addition for the rotation. He is probably going to look for a contract similar to Fried, but like stated earlier, the $700 million for Soto should cover it.

Teoscar Hernandez, L.A. Dodgers OF

Hernandez was the original top hitter target before Soto, and now he is again. A righty that’s capable of hitting 30+ homers, he’s exactly what the Sox need, and could slide into left field nicely. A three-year, $60 million dollar contract would probably serve him well, maybe even a bit higher.

Tanner Scott, San Diego Padres LHP

Finally, Scott could be the lefty reliever the Sox keep for the long run. Sure, they got Aroldis Chapman now, but he’s there for a year, and he’s old. Scott is young and just posted a 1.25 ERA. He could be the future closer for the Sox for years. A four-year, $60 million dollar contract could get him in Boston easily.

With all that added up, the Sox still have $180 million left to go for other people. If they get on it now, they could have one of the best teams in the league next year.
