"If there was one player in baseball who could be the next David Ortiz in Boston, it is Juan Soto." The post Why David Ortiz believes Juan Soto could follow in his footsteps if he signs with Red Sox appeared first on Boston.

Baseball Hall of Famer David Ortiz would love for Juan Soto to sign with the Boston Red Sox in free agency. Ortiz's comments on Thursday came in the wake of what was described as a "productive meeting" between Soto and the Red Sox as Boston ramps up their pursuit of the 26-year-old slugger.

While many believe that the New York Mets and the New York Yankees are the two clear favorites to sign Juan Soto, there could be a dark horse candidate. The Boston Red Sox reportedly met with Soto on Thursday, and could be in play to sign the superstar free agent.
