Juan Soto is the most sought-after free agent of the 2024-25 MLB offseason after an impressive All-Star season with the New York Yankees. His upcoming contract could rival Shohei Ohtani's record deal, potentially reaching between $440 million and $700 million.
Four teams are reportedly in the running for Soto: the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Boston Red Sox, each with varying degrees of interest and financial capability.
The Mets, under owner Steve Cohen, are seen as serious contenders, while the Yankees aim to retain Soto after his standout performance. The Blue Jays and Red Sox also hope to leverage their resources and talent to attract him.
Other teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants, and Tampa Bay Rays are also mentioned as potential suitors, but their chances appear less favorable.
