Dodgers to Meet Next With Juan Soto: Report
The Los Angeles Dodgers might not sign the biggest-money free agent in back-to-back years, but they aren’t taking themselves out of the Juan Soto derby just yet.
According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Dodgers and Soto will meet as early as Tuesday as the free agent outfielder continues his initial meetings with interested teams.
Soto has already reportedly met with the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, and New York Yankees in Southern California this month. Soto’s agent, Scott Boras, is based in Newport Beach.
The Dodgers defeated Soto and the New York Yankees in the World Series to capture their eighth championship. Soto became a free agent one day later after hitting a career-high 41 home runs and leading the American League in runs scored, at 128.
The 26-year-old outfielder had a productive World Series in the Yankees’ five-game loss, slashing .313/.522/.563 with a home run.
