Although the Los Angeles Dodgers are playing against New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto in October, the team is interested in recruiting him this winter, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.
Once again, the battle to land Soto will likely be west coast versus the east coast. The Yankees and New York Mets are the favorites to sign Soto, but the Dodgers have also popped up in the conversation.
Thanks to Shohei Ohtani deferring 97 percent of his $700 million salary, the Dodgers are in a prime position to sign a high-profile star like Soto.
