I just hope Soto ends up on the Mets if the Sox don't get him. Definitely don't want him back with Yankees and don't want him going to another division rival. I understand Soto is the hot free agent but I've heard a lot baseball people say that he's a long term DH because he's not a great defender. He's only two years younger then Devers and I think their production will be very similar especially if Devers doesn't have to worry about playing the field.

To the latter point, the Sox may think they can mitigate some of Soto's negative fielding value by hiding him in Fenway's LF for half the games, the way they did with Manny.
