A decision should come shortly thereafter on where Soto will play in 2025 and going forward.<\/p>\n<p>MLB analyst Cale Aheran of FOX43 shared his latest MLB predictions and has the New York Mets signing Soto toa. 14-year $700 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJuan Soto: Fourteen years, $700M \u2013 New York Mets. \u201cThe prize of this year\u2019s free agent class is the 26-year-old Soto who is looking for what would likely be the final contract of his Major League career and a historic payout,\u201d Aheran wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal appears to be beating Shohei Ohtani\u2019s contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but in current day value, and I believe the Mets will ante up to bring in a potential Hall-of-Famer to finish his career at Citi Field alongside star shortstop Francisco Lindor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soto leaving the Yankees for the Mets wouldn\u2019t be a surprise. But, what would be a surprise if Soto reached $700 million, as many have predicted him to fall short of that number.<\/p>\n<p>However, if there is a bidding ward between the Yankees and the Mets, then perhaps Soto would get to $700 million.<\/p>\n<p>Soto hit .288 with 41 home runs and 109 RBIs in 2024 with the Yankees.<\/p>\n<h2>Yankees Focused on Re-Signing Soto<\/h2>\n<p>New York is focused on re-signing Soto who was a key part of its 2024 roster.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees acquired Soto in a trade with the San Diego Padres and owner Hal Steinbrenner said the goal is to keep the star outfielder in the Bronx.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur fans really enjoyed having him in New York,\u201d Steinbrenner said. \u201cHe\u2019s definitely a significant part of why we got to the World Series. I\u2019ve got ears. I know what\u2019s expected of me. So, look, it\u2019s been a priority. We wouldn\u2019t have gone out to the West Coast if it wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Steinbrenner says the focus is on re-signing Soto, he isn\u2019t sure what the chances are that will happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo idea,\u201d Steinbrenner said. \u201cWe\u2019ll be in the mix. I\u2019ll leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Soto hit .327 with 4 home runs and 9 RBIs in the 2024 playoffs.<\/p>\n<h2>Mets Plan to Outbid Everyone For Soto<\/h2>\n<p>Mets owner Steve Cohen will do everything in his power to re-sign Soto.<\/p>\n<p>MLB insider Michael Kay of YES Network\u00a0says Cohen has told Boras he will add $50 million to whatever the highest offer is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then I\u2019ve heard from somebody in baseball today [Monday] that [Steve] Cohen\u2019s willing to go $50 million over whatever anybody offers,\u201d Kay\u00a0said. \u201cSo it looks like the Mets really want to get this guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Mets were one of the teams who met with Soto and the meeting went well, according to insider Jon Heyman of The New York Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne person suggested the Mets are \u201chopeful\u201d \u2014 and maybe even optimistic \u2014 about their chances to win easily the biggest prize of this free-agent class,\u201d Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Soto is a four-time MLB All-Star.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Juan Soto is the top free agent available and the latest contract prediction has him leaving the New York Yankees for $700 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":12288,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
