Juan Soto – ranked as MLB’s No. 1 free agent – has been all the buzz this offseason. As the winter meetings approach, Buster Olney and Jeff Passan of ESPN gave insight into the free agent market. Although no deal is certain, Passan predicts Soto will sign a record-breaking contract soon, possibly before the winter meetings even begin on Monday.
“In a sea of misinformation about Soto’s plans, here is the reality: The end is near. Teams engaged in a third round of Soto bidding this week, and while no deal is imminent, one could materialize before the winter meetings officially begin Monday,” Passan wrote.
