Soto’s Free Agency Nears End

Juan Soto’s free agency may conclude as early as this week, with a potential record-breaking contract on the horizon. The 26-year-old outfielder is expected to sign with one of several major-market teams, including the Yankees, Mets, Blue Jays, Red Sox, or Dodgers, for a deal worth over $600 million and potentially spanning 15 years. Soto’s agent, Scott Boras, declined to provide a definitive timeline but acknowledged that his client has narrowed down the list of potential destinations. This signing would mark a significant shift in the free agency market, following last offseason’s slow start by top clients for Boras. The increased media revenue and streaming capabilities are believed to be driving teams’ willingness to spend big this winter.
