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 doubtless embrace some opt-outs.
Soto isn’t believed to have any curiosity in a short-term deal on an especially excessive common annual worth. Such a construction would doubtless permit him to maximise potential earnings, however potential opt-outs in an extended deal would supply comparable alternatives.
Heyman provides that the bidding on Soto has doubtless progressed to a second spherical, with the New York Yankees amongst groups to enhance their preliminary supply. No less than some groups are believed to be prepared 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 changing into the most costly free agent in historical past exterior of Shohei Ohtani.
