SAN DIEGO \u2014 On Monday night, the Red Sox met with agent Scott Boras and discussed free-agent shortstop Xander Bogaerts. But according to a source familiar with the conversation, no progress towards a deal was made.<\/span><\/p>\n Thus continued a slow-moving process involving the Red Sox and their four-time All-Star, who Boras said has now met in person with representatives of several teams, including multiple owners. The Sox have not had a face-to-face meeting with Bogaerts during his free agency.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThey’ve been meeting with Xander for years,\u201d Boras said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As Monday’s conversation indicated, the team does remain engaged in talks about the shortstop. Chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said Monday that retaining Bogaerts remains the team’s top offseason priority, but that the team always expected Bogaerts to fully explore his free agent market before he made any decision about his future.<\/span><\/p>\n Is that approach too passive?<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI don’t know their strategy. I just know we continue to talk and have dialogue and continue the process with them,\u201d Boras said during a 30-minute media session. \u201cThe Red Sox, they kind of have four-star ownership. These guys have proven over time that they win and they pursue winning . . . I think everyone around them understands the Sox without ‘X’ are So-So.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
