The race for Juan Soto is now down to five teams, and the free agent outfielder is targeting a $700 million contract, according to a new report.
Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports that the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays have all presented offers to Soto. Jon Morosi of MLB Network confirmed the report Monday night.
According to Miller, all five teams have already presented contract offers to Soto and agent Scott Boras «late last week.» Miller also reports that Soto is «believed to be seeking a 15-year deal worth more than $700 million.»
A 15-year, $700 million contract could potentially set a record for a baseball player in terms of both years and dollars. Shohei Ohtani signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Dec.
