FA's Biggest Fish, Clubs Wait in Line...Boston, Toronto, Mets, Yankees meet in succession

Major League teams are fiercely competing to recruit Juan Soto (26), the "biggest FA fish." 

Major League Baseball's official media MLB.com said on the 17th (Korea Standard Time), "The Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Mets met Soto." The original Yankees will then meet Soto.

Soto is a star player with a batting average of 285 (934 hits in 3,280 at-bats) in 936 games in the Major League with 201 home runs, 592 RBIs, 655 runs, 57 steals, and OPS.953. This year, he was traded to the Yankees for a batting average of 288 hits in 157 games (166 hits in 576 at-bats), played 41 home runs, 109 RBIs, 128 runs, seven steals, and was the runner-up in the World Series. 

Soto, who last became a free agent this year, is considered the biggest fish this winter. His biggest strength is his young age of just 27 next year. Soto, who had been drawing attention even before becoming a free agent, is also paying attention to whether he can sign a 10-year, 700 million-dollar contract that Shohei Ohtani recorded in December last year. Although the nominal amount is hard to surpass Ohtani, he is highly likely to surpass the actual contract value (460 million dollars), which receives most of the contracts as delayed payments. 

Toronto gave Soto an "impressive face-to-face presentation" following Boston on Saturday morning (17th), MLB.com reporter John Heyman reported. The Mets then added that they also met Soto. The Mets reportedly concluded the meeting on a positive note with Steve Cohen and senior team officials moving to meet Soto. 

Boston has also been busy catching Soto. MLB.com said the meeting lasted for three hours. The two sides did not discuss specific conditions, such as the size of the contract, but had a "productive" meeting. Boston has reportedly tried to sway Soto by presenting videos of the history of franchise stars from Soto's native Dominican Republic, and Soto was also impressed. Boston also stressed that it has promising players who can lead Boston's success along with Soto. 

After meeting with Boston, Toronto, and the Mets, Soto is scheduled to meet with his original team, the Yankees. "Soto is scheduled to meet his fourth team, the Yankees, in California on Monday," Hayman said. 

Soto's contract is an important variable that could shake the game next season. The Yankees, who acquired Soto in a trade before the season, won the runner-up prize in this year's World Series. In order for the Yankees to seek another World Series championship, it is important to catch Soto, and if Soto heads to another team, the structure of his bid to win next year's World Series could change completely. 스포츠토토

Fans are paying keen attention to what team Soto, who is expected to sign a historic contract, will sign and how big a contract he will go to.
