It might be too early to start talking about the upcoming offseason — there are still two weeks left in the regular season — but that hasn’t stopped one writer from reporting on the upcoming free agency of New York Yankees’ outfielder Juan Soto.
On Sunday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that the Phillies are one of five teams expected to make a bid for Soto in the offseason. At least that’s the belief among certain baseball executives. The other four teams certain people in the industry think will bid on Soto are the Yankees, New York Mets, Toronto Blue Jays and San Francisco Giants.
