Scott Boras Has Seen This Change From Red Sox Ownership In Free Agency

Scott Boras seemingly has been atop the Red Sox’s speed dial this offseason.

The megastar sports agent entered the offseason with a free-agent client list including Juan Soto, Alex Bregman and Corbin Burnes, among others. Boston apparently has been involved with all three, reportedly offering a 15-year, $700 million deal to Soto before the superstar landed with the New York Mets.

Boras spoke to reporters at MLB Winter Meetings in Dallas on Wednesday and confirmed he’s seen a change in Boston’s pursuit of top-of-market players.

“I have (seen a change),” Boras responded to NESN’s Tom Caron. “Ownership is directly involved. (Craig Breslow) has been certainly out to visit me a lot. And their direction and hope, I think, is registered.

“I think the results are more hopeful than what’s happened to date, but obviously they’re certainly a part of the process. It’s the Boston Red Sox, and I think a lot of players covet, value that market. They have an opportunity to be very successful.”

Bregman and Burnes, as of 1 p.m. ET on Wednesday, remain available on the open market. So perhaps Boras will be hearing from the Red Sox again in the near future.
