The move of Dominican outfielder Juan Soto from the small market San Diego Padres to the New York Yankees is one of the most interesting moves of the season, comparable only to that of Shohei Ohtani to the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, I pass it by as ‘Bronx Bomber’ It may be ephemeral, since in 2025 you will receive a new contract that is expected to be exorbitant.
In accordance with Baseball American the contract of Juan Soto by 2025 it can reach $700 million dollars, comparable only to that of the country itself. Ohtanibut the agreement depends on what he does with the main reflector of the Majors, that of the Yankeeswhere they also urge a victory in World Series, since the last one dates from 2009.
Soto is currently 25 years old and is preparing to enter his prime as a Major League player, where he is projected to become one of the main stars in the Major Leagues and there will surely be a team willing to give him this confidence with a historic contract, no. only the Yankees:
These are the teams that could be a real opportunity for the future of Juan Sotobesides the Yankees:
His permanence in Bronxdepends on the collective performance of the team or a season of caliber MVP of the Dominican, who manages to transcend in the playoffs.
If this happens, the New York management would be obliged to retain the player and even with an agreement that extends even longer than that of the player himself. Ohtani (up to 14 years), that is, a great campaign in 2024 would guarantee permanence in New York the rest of his career, as he would hit free agency again until he was 39, undoubtedly a great deal, at least on paper.
Mets
But in case this, he might have a chance on the other side of the city, since the owner of the Mets, Steve Cohen, is famous for investing heavily in players, to try to compete against the Yankees. So if an agreement is not reached, he would do everything in his power to bring a player caliber of MVPas Soto. Although the future of Pete Alonso would also influence, since management does not seem ready to assume both contracts and Alonso ends his contract in 2025.
Blue Jays
In Toronto they have been somewhat timid in the market during the last two campaigns and, although they are expected to retain Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in 2025, they could also fight for Soto if he hits free agency. The franchise’s numbers are positive and they have enough salary space. Furthermore, Vladi and Soto They have a good relationship and this could help convince him to go to Canadain a team that immediately became the protagonist.
Giants
Another interesting market is California and the Giants They need a renowned figure, such as Soto, as the organization’s next franchise player. In addition, the park San Francisco It benefits left-handed hitters.
Red Sox
What better for Boston than to steal a figure from the Yankees and more, with a large investment that they have not made in recent years, causing disappointing results. That’s why team legends like Rafael Devers or Pedro Martinezhave requested an investment in form for the lineup.
