MLB Teams Intensify Bidding War for Juan Soto

The Philadelphia Phillies have reportedly communicated with agent Scott Boras regarding free agent Juan Soto, despite earlier reports suggesting no contact had been made. While the Phillies have not yet met with Soto, they plan to do so. The team is also involved in various trade discussions, including potential moves involving players like Alec Bohm and Nick Castellanos, as they seek to shake up their roster. The Phillies are not among the five teams that have made offers to Soto, but further rounds of offers are expected soon.
