Juan Soto doesn’t seem near a free agent choice, however one report suggests he has fairly the large ask for groups.
Soto is believed to be pursuing a 15-year contract, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post. Such a deal would take Soto into his age-40 season, and would seemingly embrace some opt-outs.
Soto will not be believed to have any curiosity in a short-term deal on a particularly excessive common annual worth. Such a construction would seemingly permit him to maximise potential earnings, however potential opt-outs in an extended deal would offer comparable alternatives.
Heyman provides that the bidding on Soto has seemingly progressed to a second spherical, with the New York Yankees amongst groups to enhance their preliminary provide. A minimum of some groups are believed to be keen to transcend $600 million to land the star outfielder, with five clubs thought to be most heavily involved.
Soto is the prize of the free agent market, having solely simply turned 26. He’s on a Corridor of Fame path statistically, and he has an actual likelihood of turning into the most costly free agent in historical past outdoors of Shohei Ohtani.
