MLB Speculation: Discussing Potential Destinations for Power-Hitter Juan Soto in Free Agency
Juan Soto, the star outfielder who became a free agent following the 2024 MLB season, is creating a buzz in the baseball world. With a potential contract that could exceed $400 million, Soto is expected to be one of the top free agents for the 2025-26 season [1][2].
However, one team that won't be pursuing Soto is the New York Mets, as they re-signed him during the previous offseason [3]. The identity of the other teams vying for Soto remains uncertain, with no explicit teams or betting odds disclosed in the available information [4].
The landscape suggests multiple teams will be interested in Soto given his superstar stature. In the recent past, the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, and New York Mets were reportedly interested [5].
In a recent development, the Dodgers have reportedly withdrawn from the bidding. The Dodgers have instead focused on other signings, acquiring free agent starting pitcher Blake Snell and outfielders Teoscar Hernandez, and extending a five-year $74 million contract to super-utility man Tommy Edman [6].
As the baseball season progresses, the focus shifts towards the Major League Baseball free agency season for the 2025 season. Soto's decision is expected to come before baseball's Winter Meetings, scheduled for December 9-12 [7].
Stay tuned for updates on Soto's free agency saga as more information becomes available.
