Juan Soto 'eliminating teams' as Yankees, Mets battle for superstar free agent
The bid for Juan Soto’s services is finally coming to a head.
With everyone fiending for information surrounding Soto’s free agency, his agent, Scott Boras, finally quelled some speculation that his announcement is imminent.
“When you’re going through these things, he’s just got a lot of information to meld through,” Boras told reporters after a Dodgers news conference introducing his fellow client, Blake Snell, who agreed to a five-year, $182 million deal with the reigning World Series champs.
“We’ve had meetings with a number of franchises. He’s begun the process of eliminating teams and doing things and so he’s — Juan is a very methodical thinker. So we’ll see. But I don’t think anything is imminent in the near future.”
The Post’s Jon Heyman reported that Soto is expected to be seriously considering a return to the Yankees, as well as having meetings with the Mets, Red Sox and Blue Jays.
