Recent Red Sox trade link to Braves outfielder makes absolutely no sense

Last offseason, the Boston Red Sox whiffed on multiple righty outfield free agent candidates who would've diversified their batting order. Slugger Jorge Soler was among their misses.

Soler signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the San Francisco Giants days before spring training began. His tenure with the Giants was short-lived, though, and he was sent back to one of his 2021 squads, the Atlanta Braves, before the trade deadline.

Bleacher Report named Soler the Braves' prime trade candidate before the 2025 season begins. Atlanta already picked up an option on Marcell Ozuna's contract that would keep him in the city for another year, and the organization doesn't have much use for Soler with him to fill the designated hitter spot.
