Juan Soto‘s Decision Looms: Superstar Outfielder Narrowing Down MLB Options
The chase for All-Star outfielder Juan Soto is heating up. Soto’s agent, Scott Boras, revealed Tuesday that his client is in the process of narrowing down his list of potential teams – marking a significant step towards a resolution in Soto’s highly anticipated free agency.
“When you’re going through these things, he’s just got a lot of information to meld through,” Boras told reporters. “We’ve had meetings with a number of franchises. He’s begun the process of eliminating teams and doing things. Juan is a very methodical thinker, so we’ll see, but I don’t think anything is imminent in the near future.”
Boras made the announcement during an appearance at Dodger Stadium, where he was present for the introductory press conference of pitcher Blake Snell. While Boras declined to disclose which teams remain in contention, sources indicate that the Boston Red Sox, along with the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Dodgers, are all considered serious suitors.
Underscoring the high stakes of Soto’s decision, reports suggest that teams still vying for his signature have made offers exceeding $600 million.
