It is no longer news that Juan Soto (26, New York Yankees) is ranked first in the Major League FA rankings from 2024 to 2025. MLB Trade Rumors announced the surprising news about Soto by ranking him as a preliminary FA on the 28th (Korea time).
First of all, he mentioned that Soto can receive 600 million dollars. There have been many reports in the U.S. media that Soto is certain to be the winner of the second 500 million dollar contract after Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers, 10 years and 700 million dollars). However, there have been few cases where up to 600 million dollars has been mentioned.
MLB Trade Rumors said, “Soto is three years younger than Ohtani. Soto is unlikely to accept the dipper Ohtani took, but he should be able to easily beat the current net value of the Ohtani contract of $461 million. He has to get over $500 million, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Boras Corporation was aiming for something close to $600 million early in the winter.”
He did not guarantee that Soto would sign a contract worth 600 million dollars, but it means that he could reach nearly 600 million dollars. This means that Soto is worth a lot. Therefore, when Soto refused to offer a 15-year, 440-million-dollar extension contract from the Washington Tashers, he said, “It is expected to produce bigger and bigger results.”
There is no possibility that Soto will sign a non-FA multi-year contract with the Yankees. The ransom goes up just by watching the clubs hit and hit in the FA market, and there is no reason to accept Yankees’ pre-sale. MLB Trade Rumors said, “The owner Hal Steinbrenner said he was willing to negotiate an extension contract during the season, but it would be completely shocking if Soto did not test the FA market at this point.”
In addition, he shared another new message. He said that the LA Dodgers and San Francisco Giants will be connected to Soto’s recruitment game, in addition to the Yankees and the New York Mets. The prospect that the Dodgers, which already has Shohei Ohtani, could join the recruitment game for Soto is shocking. 토토사이트 추천
In fact, there are constant rumors that the Dodgers can recruit Luis Robert Jr., the Chicago White Sox’s flagship hitter who is about to sell fire in the trade market, which is just a month away. In fact, the lower batting line is a little less heavy than the upper batting line, which is Mookie Betts, Otani, Freddie Freeman, Will Smith. The upper batting line may seem that way because it is too powerful, but the lower batting line is not actually good.
There is an evaluation that the outfield also seems to lack some weight as Betts comes to the infield. When Soto goes to the Dodgers, he builds an all-time lineup by solving two problems at once. It is unclear whether the Dodgers can handle payroll, but it is also a team that makes good use of Dipper. MLB Trade Rumors predict that Soto does not prefer Dipper, but it should be considered that it depends on the Dodgers’ negotiating power. If it is a nuclear war between Yankees, Mets, and Dodgers, the $600 million mark should be considered a given.
MLB also stressed that Soto has strength in snow baseball, right field defense that has improved slightly this season, and is three to four years younger than the average free agent. He will reign as the best hitter in the Major League for seven to 10 years.
