"The Boston Red Sox, who were in on Blake Snell, now are focusing on Max Fried to upgrade their rotation." - Bob Nightengale, indicating a shift in strategy after missing Snell.
"But let's hope the miss on Snell doesn't signal the return of the 'interest kings' as the Sox have been mockingly called in recent offseasons." This highlights the pressure on the Red Sox to actively pursue impactful players.
"But for all the talk about the pitchers, Juan Soto remains the biggest prize this winter. The Sox are reportedly 'stepping up their efforts' and are increasingly seen as a 'legitimate contender.'" This underscores the Red Sox's changing priorities in free agency.
"Red Sox were in on both Snell and Kikuchi before losing out. They seek rotation upgrades and have preferred a lefty." - Jon Heyman, emphasizing the team's strategy despite setbacks.
