Juan Soto has dominated this offseason as he patiently makes a decision on his next team. And, once Soto does sign off on his massive contract, a lot of other dominoes around the MLB will begin to fall.
Among the biggest of those is another outfielder, Teoscar Hernandez. His slow start to free agency is likely as a direct result of the Soto sweepstakes. Being a fellow top-end outfielder, Hernandez’s market is nearly identical to Soto’s.
As reported by MassLive’s Chris Cotillo, Hernandez’s market is expected to “heat up” after the Soto signing. The Red Sox, New York Yankees, and Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly all involved.
