If you thought the Juan Soto free agency rumors were overwhelming during the New York Yankees’ season, just wait for the next few months.<\/p>\n

Soto made it clear late Wednesday night, after the Yankees’ season ended in Game 5 of the World Series, that he will listen to everyone interested and that \u201cevery team has the same opportunities … we\u2019re gonna look at what they have and how much they want me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

In the following hours, the first offseason reports and speculation have emerged about his offseason \u2014\u00a0The New York Post\u2018s Jon Heyman\u00a0said that 11 teams have already checked in with agent Scott Boras about Soto, with the New York Mets being one of them,\u00a0according to the Post\u2019s Mets beat writer, Mike Puma. The Mets\u2019 former general manager, Zack Scott,\u00a0has also weighed in on X.<\/p>\n

I was asked what I thought he\u2019d get. I took the Price is Right approach and said $701m. That will be the headline, but there will be a ton of deferrals. The present value will be $500-600m. I expect top suitors to include NYM, NYY, SF, and the Nats.<\/p>\n

Scott, who was with the Mets from 2020-21,\u00a0told a fan that he expected Soto\u00a0to sign by Dec. 25 (Christmas), and that\u00a0the Mets were his pick. Scott\u00a0doesn\u2018t necessarily believe the Los Angeles Dodgers\u00a0are a fit: \u201cI\u2019d be surprised given their commitments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mets have been seen as a favorite for Soto for the past year because they have $90 million coming off their books and call Steve Cohen their owner, the richest in the game. Teams cannot talk money until five days after the World Series, which concluded Oct. 30.<\/p>\n

The San Diego Padres acquired Soto in 2022, as reports surfaced that the outfielder declined a 15-year, $440 million extension with the Washington Nationals. The Yankees traded for Soto last offseason, and despite owner Hal Steinbrenner\u2019s desire to keep Soto for life, the 26-year-old outfielder was never likely to commit to his future without testing the open market.<\/p>\n

Soto hit a career-high 41 home runs in the regular season, with a 178 OPS+, the second-highest of his career.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
