Red Sox signed SS Dorian Soto to a minor league contract with a $1.4 million signing bonus.
Soto was the headliner of the Red Sox 2025 international signing class, and it’s easy to see why considering he’s 6'3" and 185 pounds as a 16-year-old. The switch-hitter is graded out with a strong hit tool and plus raw power that scouts describe as “already average raw big league power.” Soto has good hands and solid footwork defensively, but he may have to move off of shortstop if he continues to fill out. The offensive upside is exciting here, even though he’s years away from the big leagues.
