Juan Soto, a client du voracious Scott Boras, currently finds himself on the MLB free agent market this winter season. Soto is seen and recognized by his peers, organizations, journalists and fans as one of the best baseball players of his generation. When he finds himself in the batter’s box, he offers quite a fight with the gunner finding himself on the mound.
Because of his unique strengths as a hitter, Soto could certainly land a jackpot allowing him to pocket $650 million. Some even indicate that he could win an amount similar to that won by Shohei Ohtani in December 2023, i.e. $700M, which would be a bit absurd, despite all the love I have for Juan Soto.
Soto is average defensively and he is not intimidating when he finds himself on the cushions, possessing little speed allowing him to commit as many thefts as Ohtani. The Nippon, when at full health, throws grenades from the mound, hits with power and elegance, in addition to being one of the best at stealing bases when he finds himself on the paths.
Regardless, everything suggests that more than 600 million dollars will be deposited in Juan Soto’s bank account. Among the franchises ready to offer him so many millions, we find the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets, the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays. Then, in all likelihood, the Jays could cap this derby with the most lucrative offer.
At least that is what is circulating regarding the monetary aspect of the sector Soto, only 26 years old.
Note that, during the 2024 campaign, Soto, in a Bronx Bombers (Yankees) uniform, had the best moments of his young career thanks to 41 bombs and 109 RBIs. Not to mention his hitting line of .288/.419/.569, his OPS+ of 178 and his WAR of 7.9. He also scored no less than 128 points, winning in this category.
All things considered, perhaps Ross Atkins, thanks to Rogers’ “cash”, will succeed in dazzling the Soto clan with a huge amount… but my little finger tells me that the Dominican will opt instead for the New York Yankees thanks to her relationship with Aaron Judge.
