Red Sox president Sam Kennedy, chairman Tom Warner, chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and manager Alex Cora were in attendance, McAdam reported. No word on whether they discussed eventually moving Soto out of the outfield and into a full-time designated hitter.

The Boston Red Sox have their sights set on New York Yankees free agent outfielder Juan Soto this offseason, as he's by far the best player available on the marker. Earlier in the week, the Red Sox secured a meeting with Soto's representation, and that reportedly took place on Thursday.

Adding top-tier starters and right-handed hitters might be Boston's main goals, but adding to the bullpen cannot be overlooked as a need.
