He then doubled on his report\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHere\u2019s what I know. Juan Soto &amp; Boston have agreed to a long-term contract. The exact length and money of the deal is still unknown but I\u2019m told there is no deferred cash. Boston\u2019s rich history of Dominican superstars was the ultimate selling point,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>Following his report, Passan, who\u2019s ESPN\u2019s MLB insider took to X, to shut down the report and revealed Soto hasn\u2019t signed with any team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am thankful for reporters who don\u2019t make up stories,\u201d Passan wrote on X. \u201cI am also thankful that Juan Soto has not agreed to any contract. Which means you can get off Twitter and go spend the holiday with your family. Happy Thanksgiving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Passan quickly shut down the report Soto has signed with the Red Sox as of now. However, Boston is still in the running for the star outfielder, so perhaps Boston does eventually land him.<\/p>\n<p>Soto hit .288 with 41 home runs and 109 RBIs with the New York Yankees last season.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Red Sox Projected Offer to Soto Revealed<\/h2>\n<p>Boston is one of at least five teams who submitted an offer to Soto.<\/p>\n<p>MLB insider Mike Rodriguez took to X to reveal that the Red Sox offered Soto a 12-year deal around $50 million per season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just finished a call, and sources from #Boston informed me that the player spoke for over an hour with Rafael Devers about the team,\u201d Rodriguez wrote. \u201cThere is a 12-year offer for around $50M per season. And #JuanSoto is interested in the idea of going to the Red Sox. Currently, the Red Sox are a strong contender for outfielder.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A 12-year deal at $50 million per year would be $600 million total, but it does seem likely that Soto will exceed that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>What Will Juan Soto Get in Free Agency?<\/h2>\n<p>Soto is the top free agent available and will land a massive deal in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>MLB Trade Rumors predicted Soto will sign a 13-year $600 million deal in their annual Top 50 MLB Free Agent Predictions article.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to Soto\u2019s contract, any and all historical norms can be tossed out,\u201d the article read. \u201cYou could argue that the last time a superstar of this caliber reached free agency at such a young age is Soto\u2019s former teammate Bryce Harper, but we\u2019d posit that this is the most appealing blend of youth and statistical dominance since Alex Rodriguez stunned the entire sports world with a 10-year, $252MM contract to sign with the Rangers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s little doubt Soto will sign a contract of at least a decade in length,\u201d the article continued. \u201cThe question becomes one of how long a team will be willing to go at what figures to be a new record average annual value (setting aside Shohei Ohtani\u2019s overwhelmingly deferred $700MM contract, which came with an NPV closer to $43.7MM, using the MLBPA\u2019s number). A 12-year deal would pay Soto through age-37. But, it\u2019s not out of the question that a team will go later into his career than that. The Yankees guaranteed Judge $40MM annually through his age-39 season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, there have since been reports that Soto could get close to $700 million in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
