Soto's Next Stop: Which Teams Are Ready to Make a Move?
Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2024 8:46 pm
The offseason is heating up, and the buzz around Juan Soto is palpable! With multiple teams expected to make offers this week, the question on everyone's mind is: who will land this superstar?
Soto's demands, including an opt-out after three years, have sparked a debate about the risk versus reward for teams. Should smaller market teams like the Pirates or Mariners take a chance on him if they can secure a deal around three years and $180 million? Or is the potential back-end risk too great if he decides to stay and the contract becomes a burden?
Let’s dive deeper into this. What do you think? Are teams like the Guardians and Pirates missing an opportunity by not pursuing Soto more aggressively? Or do you believe that the financial implications of such a deal could outweigh the benefits?
Also, with the Braves non-tendering Ramón Laureano and Griffin Canning, what does this say about their strategy moving forward? Are they clearing space for bigger moves, or is this a sign of a more cautious approach?
And speaking of bold predictions, who do you think will be the biggest surprise team to make a serious run at Soto? Could we see a dark horse emerge in this race?
Join the conversation and share your thoughts! What are your predictions for Soto's future, and how do you see the offseason shaping up for the teams involved?
