MLB.com is keeping track of all the latest free-agent and trade rumors involving the Red Sox right here.

Dec. 3: What's next for Red Sox after Chapman deal? (source)
The Red Sox continued to remake their bullpen on Tuesday, agreeing with fireballing left-hander Aroldis Chapman on a one-year deal, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Upgrading its relief corps is a priority for Boston this offseason, and Chapman represents the second lefty to join the 'pen after it signed Justin Wilson to a one-year deal in November.

The Red Sox's next move could address just about any position as they have been linked to many of the top free agents and trade candidates. They are reportedly making a big push for Juan Soto. They have also been mentioned in rumors regarding starting pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, infielder Willy Adames and outfielder Teoscar Hernández.

According to MLB Network insider Jon Paul Morosi, Boston is a team to watch for White Sox left-handed ace Garrett Crochet, who is reportedly on the trade block. Morosi also indicated on Tuesday that Boston could swing a deal for Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, assuming the Red Sox move Rafael Devers to another position.

Nov. 30: Big Papi 'recruiting Soto hard' for Red Sox (report)
According to NJ.com Yankees reporter Randy Miller in an appearance on New York's WFAN Radio on Saturday, Red Sox legend David Ortiz is working hard to get superstar slugger Juan Soto to sign with Boston. Miller also said he thinks it'll be either the Red Sox or Mets that end up signing Soto.

"I think it's going to come down to the Red Sox and Mets," Miller said. "From what I'm hearing, Big Papi is playing a role in this and recruiting Soto hard. I heard [Soto] was very impressed with the Red Sox and the Red Sox are telling Soto that they're going to bring in a couple of extra players in addition to him."

Nov. 27: Red Sox 'stepping up efforts' to sign Soto, also pursuing frontline arm (reports)
The Red Sox are one of the five teams that have made a contract offer to Juan Soto, a source told MLB Network insider Jon Paul Morosi. No one knows the value of that offer, but it shouldn't be taken lightly as it seems like Boston means business in its pursuit of the offseason's No. 1 free agent.

Writing in the New York Post on Tuesday, Mark W. Sanchez and MLB Network insider Jon Heyman said the Red Sox "are increasingly seen as a legitimate contender in the sweepstakes for the generational slugger as word is they are stepping up efforts to lure the superstar hitter away from their historic AL East nemesis."

According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Red Sox were also in on Blake Snell before he reached a five-year deal with the Dodgers on Tuesday. Boston is believed to be seeking a left-handed starter, so it could turn its focus to Max Fried now that Snell is off the market.

Per a report from the Boston Globe (subscription required), the Red Sox are looking to add a top starter even if they can seal the deal with Soto. Signing Soto would leave them with less flexibility to do so, though CEO/president Sam Kennedy said last week that the Red Sox are open to pushing their payroll beyond the first Competitive Balance Tax threshold of $241 million.

Including projected salaries for arbitration-eligible players, Cot's Baseball Contracts puts the Red Sox CBT number at roughly $164 million -- $77 million shy of the first tax threshold.

If Boston does end up getting priced out of the market for the elite free-agent arms, the club could pursue a trade to fill its need for an ace. In Morosi's view, the Red Sox are a team to watch in the trade market for White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet. Boston is loaded with highly touted position-player prospects, which could make it an attractive trade partner for the White Sox.

Nov. 22: Red Sox considered a top candidate for Teoscar if they don't sign Soto
The Red Sox are definitely one of the teams vying for Juan Soto. However, will this year's No. 1 free agent actually end up with Boston? MLB Network insider Jon Paul Morosi said Friday that he will be "surprised" if that happens.

If Soto does sign elsewhere, the Red Sox will have to pivot to some of the other big bats on the market, and Morosi considers Boston to be one of the top candidates to sign Teoscar Hernández.

"If Juan Soto goes somewhere else ... get ready to listen to a lot of conversation about Teoscar and the Boston Red Sox," Morosi said during Friday's edition of Hot Stove.

The 32-year-old Hernández is coming off a fantastic season with the Dodgers, highlighted by a career-high 33 home runs. That was his first season in the National League after eight years in the American League. During that time, Hernández posted strong numbers as a visitor in Fenway Park: That includes 14 home runs in 170 at-bats and a .282/.344/.606 slash line.

Morosi considers the incumbent Dodgers as another top candidate for Hernández and said the Orioles may be interested in him as well.

Last week, ESPN's Jeff Passan reported (subscription required) that the Dodgers are the "favorites" to bring back Hernández while also including the Red Sox, O's and Yankees as contenders.

Nov 15: Soto has 'productive' 3-hour meeting with Red Sox (report)
The Red Sox met with Soto and his representatives, including agent Scott Boras, in Southern California on Thursday night, according to a report from Sean McAdam of MassLive. The meeting, which was of an introductory and informative nature, lasted for three hours and was deemed as “productive,” though neither money nor terms were discussed between the parties.

Soto was reportedly “impressed” by Boston’s presentation, which included a video noting the franchise’s history of star players from the Dominican Republic, Soto’s native country. The Red Sox also detailed their plans for the future, highlighting a promising group of prospects who could potentially team up with Soto to help the club be successful in the years to come. Soto is expected to continue to meet with more teams in Southern California over the next few days.
