The New York Yankees and the New York Mets may appear to be in a two-way contest for superstar free agent Juan Soto. However, a new team has surfaced.
According to New York Post MLB insider Jon Heyman, the Philadelphia Phillies are one of six teams that are a serious “contender” for Soto.
Heyman stated, “Owner John Middleton recently brought on new investors and is driven to succeed.” “Soto enjoys Trea Turner from the Nats days, Bryce Harper, and hitting coach Kevin Long.”
Heyman added a vital disclaimer on the Phillies’ actual odds of signing Soto in spite of those encouraging signs.
Heyman wrote, “They might be late.” “(Are they attempting to pay first?)”
According to reports, Soto and the Los Angeles Kings have met with the Yankees, Mets, Boston Red Sox, and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Phillies have more star power than most clubs, and they have been more active in free agency in recent seasons. The Phillies are positioned to win right now with a loaded lineup that includes first baseman Bryce Harper, shortstop Trea Turner, and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, as well as perhaps the best starting rotation in baseball, which includes National League Cy Young runner-up Zack Wheeler, Aaron Nola, Ranger Suarez, and Cristopher Sanchez.
