When it ends is anybody\u2019s guess, since Soto\u2019s agent, Scott Boras, has never met a free agency he didn\u2019t enjoy dragging out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But eventually, a team is going to write a very large check (it\u2019s going to start with \u201c600,\u201d or maybe \u201c700\u201d) and land itself a generational talent who has a chance to not only make the Hall of Fame but end his career as one of the best players ever.<\/p>\n<p>Soto, who turned 26 on Oct. 25, ranks among the top-25 hitters all-time through age 25 in home runs (201, tied for seventh with Albert Pujols and Mike Trout), WAR (17th at 36.4, per Baseball Reference), on-base percentage (20th at .421) and OPS+ (23rd at 160).<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we don\u2019t need to sit here and fill up one of Boras\u2019 infamous binders for him. You know how good Juan Soto has been and how good he could be for the duration of his next contract. But who will win the Soto sweepstakes and get his services for the next 10 years or longer? Here\u2019s our guess, ranked from most likely to least likely with a dark horse at the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"new-york-yankees\" class=\" uppercase break-words\">NEW YORK YANKEES<\/h2>\n<p>The Yankees \u2014 who went 82-80 without Soto in 2023 \u2014 might need Soto more than anyone else. Sure, they could take the money Soto will require and dole it out to numerous other players who could shore up a top-heavy team, but do you trust Brian Cashman \u2014 the architect of this top-heavy team \u2014 to find the right secondary pieces? Owner Hal Steinbrenner is the polar opposite of his dad in almost every way, but he knows gate attractions and has paid to keep Aaron Judge and to lure Gerrit Cole. Now will he spend almost as much on Soto as he did on Judge and Cole?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"new-york-mets\" class=\" uppercase break-words\">NEW YORK METS<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"2\" class=\" w-full\">\n<div class=\"xl:container mx-0 !px-4 py-0 pb-4 undefined\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.deadspin.com\/tr:w-900\/1730646025645\" alt=\"Steve Cohen is the owner of the New York Mets. credits: Gregory Fisher\/Icon Sportswire | source: AP\" class=\"w-full rounded-md\" \/><span class=\"text-0.8 leading-tight\">Steve Cohen is the owner of the New York Mets. credits: Gregory Fisher\/Icon Sportswire | source: AP<!-- --> <!-- --> <\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section-3\">\n<p>Might this finally be the Big Apple bidding war we\u2019ve all been waiting for? Steve Cohen has the bucks and the gumption to go toe-to-toe with Steinbrenner and just watched his fun, feisty, and sum-is-better-than-the-parts team push the Dodgers to six games in the NLCS. Their right fielders hit just .258 with 14 homers, 67 RBIs and a .709 OPS this season, which means Soto would be a massive offensive upgrade. And what if Soto didn\u2019t replace Pete Alonso, the free agent first baseman, but just slotted into the lineup ahead of him?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"los-angeles-dodgers\" class=\" uppercase break-words\">LOS ANGELES DODGERS<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"4\" class=\" w-full\">\n<div class=\"xl:container mx-0 !px-4 py-0 pb-4 undefined\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.deadspin.com\/tr:w-900\/1730646082116\" alt=\"Oct 30, 2024; New York, New York, USA; Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts (30) celebrates after winning the 2024 MLB World Series against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
