MLB Teams Vie for Juan Soto: Yankees, Phillies, Dodgers in the Mix

A survey of 18 MLB executives and insiders suggests that Juan Soto is likely to remain with the New York Yankees, with 12 predicting he will stay, while four believe he might join the Mets, and two think the Blue Jays could sign him. Soto, who had a stellar season with the Yankees, is expected to earn over $600 million. Despite Mets owner Steve Cohen's potential to outbid competitors, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner is keen on retaining Soto, who has expressed fondness for New York. Meetings with several teams, including the Dodgers and Phillies, are ongoing.
