MLB Fans Losing Their Minds Over Juan Soto Sweepstakes Rumor
MLB’s richest reportedly is looking into becoming even richer.
Juan Soto made his foray into free agency last week and wasted no time meeting with interested clubs. According to multiple reports, the generational outfielder has spoken with the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and New York Mets.
Those apparently aren’t the only clubs making a run at Soto, though.

MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand on Monday reported the Los Angeles Dodgers are set to meet with the four-time All-Star. ESPN’s Alden Gonzalez provided additional insight on the report, explaining how it would be “absurd” for the World Series champions to sign Soto following their spending spree last offseason, but “Shohei Ohtani’s first year in LA blew away all their financial projections.” The Dodgers also could use some outfield help.
Virtually all baseball fans besides folks in Chavez Ravine were incensed by the Soto-Dodgers report. You can check out the avalanche of reactions by clicking the link here.
While Dave Roberts and company have all of the resources to make a compelling pitch to the 26-year-old, MLB fans might not need to be too worried about the possibility of Soto teaming up with Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman. An American League executive told Feinsand that the Soto sweepstakes will come down to the pair of New York clubs.
