Juan Soto’s free agency saga is far from over as the ongoing battle continues. The Mets and the Yankees are huge favorites to sign Soto, but a number of teams have been linked with rumors. The Toronto Blue Jays started things off by meeting Soto. On the other hand, the Boston Red Sox are also believed to be pursuing the slugger.
Soto’s free agency rumors are getting heated up every day. Additionally, several reports have linked Soto with teams like the Red Sox. Recently, MLB insider Jeff Passan took a jibe at reporters spreading fake updates on Soto’s rumors. Passan thanked the reporters who didn’t makeup stories.
“I am thankful for reporters who don’t make up stories. I 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,” Passan wrote on X.
