The Red Sox have been quiet on the player transaction front since Major League Baseball ended the lockout on Thursday, but it appears they’re trying to make some moves.
Boston is one of five teams that’s “in talks” with Atlanta Braves free agent slugger Jorge Soler, MLB insiders Mike Rodriguez and Héctor Gómez reported Saturday. The Rangers, Astros, Marlins, and Dodgers are also among the teams discussing a deal with the right fielder, according to Rodriguez and Gómez.
Soler played a pivotal role in the Braves’ World Series run in 2021, hitting .300 with three homers in the Fall Classic to win World Series MVP.
