Jeff Passan says Red Sox ‘still in it’ for Juan Soto, slugger’s decision could come this weekend

The Juan Soto free agency saga is reportedly nearing a close.

ESPN’s Jeff Passan said on SportsCenter Wednesday that the 26-year-old slugger could decide what team he will sign with this weekend. Passan reported that the final five teams in the mix will meet with Soto over the weekend, perhaps for the final time.

“… at this point, we don’t know who the favorites are. The New York Mets have been near the top the whole time. The Yankees, of course, the incumbent team. The Boston Red Sox, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are all still in it,” Passan said.
