Boston Red Sox: If Juan Soto, the winter’s biggest prize, signs anywhere but Boston, Red Sox fans will be clamoring for a top-of-the-rotation arm. And while southpaw Max Fried is probably a better fit with Boston’s righty-heavy rotation, no Red Sox fan would be furious about adding Burnes.

MLB.com's Mark Feinsand wrote on Nov. 15 that Burnes "figures to be seeking at least a six-year contract" worth between $175-$200 million. If the market sets Burnes' value on the lower end of that range, perhaps some of the teams in Miller's "hard time justifying $200 million-plus for Burnes" will enter the sweepstakes.
