The Philadelphia Phillies are not in on the Juan Soto sweepstakes.
The Phillies "never met with Juan Soto and are not among the teams who have made an offer to the star outfielder," Matt Gelb reported for The Athletic.
Gelb's comment follows a Nov. 25 report from USA Today's Bob Nightengale that the Phillies "haven't had a single conversation with [agent Scott Boras] to express interest in Soto."
The New York Mets, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers are thought to be the strongest contenders to sign Soto, according to The Athletic.
