The ongoing free agency of Juan Soto is heating up, with multiple teams expressing interest in the star outfielder. While the Los Angeles Dodgers are monitoring the situation, they are not expected to pursue him aggressively due to existing salary commitments and roster needs.
East Coast teams like the New York Mets, New York Yankees, and Boston Red Sox appear to be frontrunners, especially given Soto's preference for that region. Meetings are scheduled between Soto and these clubs, with the possibility of a signing before the Winter Meetings.
Additionally, the Tampa Bay Rays are among the teams that have reached out, bringing the total to at least 11 interested parties. The Mets seem particularly poised to make a significant financial offer, leveraging their increased financial flexibility this offseason.
