Local reports emerged that the leading candidate for Juan Soto (26)'s recruitment match, which was on fire in earnest, has been narrowed down to four teams.

USA Today said on the 25th (Korea time) that "only four teams are seriously moving in the Soto recruitment game." The teams pointed out by the media are the New York Mets, the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox.

The number is slightly lower than those initially discussed through media. Soto is considered one of the biggest free agents in this year's MLB Stove League. Debuting at a young age in 2018, he is only 26 this year, but he is the best hitter who has displayed top-notch skills for the past seven years. He is still young, not much different from rookies, and is now approaching his prime, making him by far the No. 1 candidate for the FA. Since Soto, most valuable player (MVP) level rarely appears in the market, which is even hotter.토토사이트

As a result, most teams with ample financial resources in the MLB have been mentioned as candidates for recruitment. MLB.COM, ESPN, and New York Post, the official websites of MLB, reported that not only the Yankees, Mets, Toronto and Boston, but also the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies have made appointments to meet Soto. ESPN said on the 25th that the teams that participated in the recruitment contest are now putting in a contract offer, signaling that the recruitment contest has entered the second round.
USA Today, however, claims that not all six teams mentioned above participated in the event. The media reported that the Dodgers won the World Series without Soto. "Although I did meet Soto, I had no difficulty meeting Soto and his agent Scott Boras." Soto and Boras will stay in California, where their company is located. This means that there is no need to give significant meaning to the fact that the LA-based Dodgers met Soto.

USA Today said, "A meeting between Soto and the Dodgers can help raise Soto's price. What's more important to the Dodgers is that they are under pressure to re-sign outfielder Teoscar Hernandez."

Hernandez signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers before this season, but he completely succeeded in re-using the FA with a batting average of 0.272, 33 home runs and 99 RBIs. Teams that need big guns, such as Boston, are likely to be recruited, and the Dodgers are also one of the teams that need him.

USA Today claims that another candidate, Philadelphia, will not participate in the recruitment race. USA Today reported that the Philadelphia Phillies have never talked with Boras while expressing their intention to recruit Soto.
Meanwhile, Soto's contract is expected to be worth at least 600 million U.S. dollars (840.6 billion won). On the scale of Soto's contract, local media predicted that Spotrac would be worth 513.8 million dollars for 14 years, ESPN and The Athletic would be worth 611 million dollars for 13 years, MLB Trade Rumors would be worth 600 million dollars for 13 years, and FanGraphs would be worth 576 million dollars for 12 years. Some even predict that Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers) could record 700 million dollars without a payment grace.
