Yankees, Mets Among Teams In Battle For Juan Soto
2 months agoThe New York Yankees and New York Mets and a few other organizations will be in a battle to sign superstar outfielder Juan Soto according to Mike Vaccaro of the New York Post. Following his Game 5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, Soto told the media that, "I feel every team has the same opportunity" in relation to his pending free agency. With Scott Boras severing as his agent, baseball fans should expect the highest bidder to open their pockets in hopes of acquiring Soto as Boras has negotiated several of the largest contracts in recent history such as Gerrit Cole's 2022 contract with the New York Yankees. With Steve Cohen and Hal Steinbrenner at the forefront of the bidding, the 26-year-old should be in store for a record breaking deal coming off of his stellar 2024 campaign where he held a .288/.419/.569 line with 41 home runs.
