New York Yankees\u00a0superstar outfielder\u00a0Juan Soto\u00a0will be the most sought-after free agent this offseason.<\/p>\n

Soto\u00a0completed a one-year $31 million deal\u00a0with the Yankees that he got in arbitration. The soon-to-be-26-year-old is one of the best players in the MLB and he should get a hefty contract in free agency.<\/p>\n

It’s expected that the Yankees and\u00a0New York Mets\u00a0will both be after his services.\u00a0According to Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic, Soto is looking to break\u00a0Shohei Ohtani’s record-breaking $700 million deal.<\/p>\n

“Multiple people told The Athletic this spring\u00a0they believe Soto\u2019s camp is after Shohei Ohtani’s\u00a0record-breaking deal,” Ghiroli reported. “Ohtani\u2019s contract included 97 percent deferrals, but still put his present-day average annual value at roughly $43.78 million, or closer to $46 million when calculated for luxury tax purposes.”<\/p>\n

Ghiroli reported that Soto could surpass Ohtani if he defers money like he did. But, the star outfielder’s AAV could end up being higher than Ohtani’s as he’s focused on resetting the market even more.<\/p>\n

“Soto, making $31 million in his final arbitration year, could easily eclipse both those numbers and set a new record, though Ohtani\u2019s overall number of $700 million still seems like a pipe dream unless Soto is willing to accept heavy deferrals. (It\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s not unheard of for Scott Boras clients to accept heavy deferrals. Soto\u2019s former teammate Max Scherzer signed a seven-year, $210 million deal before the 2015 season that had record deferrals at the time.)”<\/p>\n

Soto played in 157 regular season games with the Yankees in 2024,\u00a0slashing .288\/.419\/.569 with 41 home runs and 109 RBI.<\/p>\n
