MLB rumors unveil contract length Juan Soto is seeking from Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Dodgers
Juan Soto is the best player available in MLB free agency, leading to a bidding war between the biggest teams in baseball including the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets. Just days out from becoming one of the highest-paid MLB players ever, new details are emerging regarding the contract he wants.
Soto, age 26, has previously turned down $400-plus million contract offers from the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres when he played for those franchises. Years later early estimates projected he would be landing a $500-plus million contract this offseason and that number has climbed even further.
Earlier this week, MLB rumors emerged that the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Mets and Toronto Blue Jays had all made contract offers to Soto. All of these are preliminary proposals, with the final round of contract offers expected to come at the MLB Winter Meetings.
According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, it’s believed that Soto is looking for a 15-year contract worth well north of $600 million total. If he lands a 15-year deal, Soto would be under contract into his early 40s.
