Several teams have shown interest in him, and many analysts expect him to sign with the\u00a0New York Mets\u00a0or re-sign with the\u00a0New York Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>However, The Wright Way Network predicts that Soto will stay in the American League but sign with the\u00a0Houston Astros.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Houston Astros lost in the wild card to the\u00a0Detroit Tigers, which is not the usual benchmark for the Houston Astros,\u201d the article\u00a0read. \u201cThe Astros jumped to the level of New York Yankees and Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers as big spenders in the mid-2010s. With that came World Series Expectations. With those expectations falling very short, the logical response would be to sign the second-best player in the league, Juan Soto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Houston Astros have the room to sign Juan Sot. It\u2019s uncertain if he is going to return to the Yankees,\u201d the article added. \u201cThe Astros have proven they are willing to pay and are able to win, unlike the Yankees. Juan Soto wants to win a World Series. Soto sat on the bench watching the celebration in his home ballpark, reeling it all in for next year. The Yankees have proven over and over, they will spend but they also will lose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Houston signing Soto would be a major surprise as they haven\u2019t been linked to the outfielder. On\u00a0DraftKings Sportsbook, the Astros are listed with the field at +900 which implies a 10% chance.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Soto hit .288 with\u00a041 home runs and 109 RBIs in 157 games with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<h2>The Astros Would be World Series Contenders With Soto<\/h2>\n<p>If Houston can surprise many and sign Soto, they immediately would become World Series contenders.<\/p>\n<p>The Astros lost in the first round of the playoffs this past season. The Wright Way Network believes if Houston signs Soto they will become favorites in the AL.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe option no one is really talking about is the Astros, and this is exactly a move the Astros would do,\u201d the article read. \u201cThe Astros need to do a soft rebuild and get a bit younger. Soto is young, can do it all, and add excitement to the team\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Astros need to be competitive in spending with the Dodgers and Yankees or baseball is going to get very boring with only 2 teams willing to spend big, and adding Soto would get the Astros right back on track to winning their next World Series,\u201d the article added.<\/p>\n<p>However, whether or not the Astros are in on Soto is uncertain.<\/p>\n<h2>Yankees Owner Sets Up Meeting With Soto\u2019s Agent<\/h2>\n<p>New York will be doing everything in its power to retain Soto.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is scheduled to visit Southern California to meet with Scott Boras, the agent of Soto,\u00a0The New York Post\u00a0reported. It\u2019s uncertain what day the meeting will take place. But, MLB insider Jon Heyman of The Post says it will happen after the Mets meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe date for the sit-down was not immediately clear. But, more clear was the fact the Yankees were assured of a talk with Soto after the Mets talk with Soto,\u201d Heyman reported.<\/p>\n<p>Soto will get a long-term contract in free agency\u00a0that is expected to be in the 600 million range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juan Soto predicted to sign with Astros.
