The Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, and New York Mets are expected to be the top four teams in the pursuit to acquire him. Each of these four teams has a tremendous amount of money to spend, so it\u2019s been very difficult to project Soto\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n<p>At what point will the biggest markets in the league say that Soto isn\u2019t worth a certain dollar amount?<\/p>\n<p>During the season, the expectation was Soto would land a contract around the $500 million to $550 million mark. But it soon jumped up to potentially breaking the $600 million threshold. Now, reports are indicating that $600 million is the absolute floor for a contract.<\/p>\n<p>A few\u00a0MLB\u00a0insiders, including Jon Heyman of the New York Post, have suggested that\u00a0Soto could land a record-breaking $700 million contract that includes no deferred money.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"imageBox\">\n<div class=\"innerBox ar23-innerBox\"><picture class=\"mapping-embed\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.webp?w=790&amp;f=1de30930a70951eb75bfc4ed77b755ef 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1de30930a70951eb75bfc4ed77b755ef 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.webp?w=900&amp;f=2fe9e2a74da9e82580e4fe50aa176c27 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.jpg?w=900&amp;f=2fe9e2a74da9e82580e4fe50aa176c27 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.webp?w=790&amp;f=1de30930a70951eb75bfc4ed77b755ef 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.jpg?w=790&amp;f=1de30930a70951eb75bfc4ed77b755ef 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 481px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.webp?w=450&amp;f=495ed43c40addff94d4da4909aef562e 1x\" type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.jpg?w=450&amp;f=495ed43c40addff94d4da4909aef562e 1x\" type=\"image\/jpeg\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.webp?w=1200&amp;f=509d928b6cb1cc8d21b2bdf996d0a53b\" type=\"image\/webp\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i2523059\" class=\"mapping-embed imgPhoto\" src=\"https:\/\/d.newsweek.com\/en\/full\/2523059\/new-york-yankees-outfielder-juan-soto.jpg?w=1200&amp;f=509d928b6cb1cc8d21b2bdf996d0a53b\" alt=\"New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><\/picture><\/div><figcaption class=\"caption ar23-caption\"><span id=\"short-cap-description\" class=\"cap\">SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA \u2013 MAY 25: Juan Soto #22 of the New York Yankees talks with umpire Bill Miller #26 as Aaron Boone #17 and Aaron Judge #99 look on during the third inning against\u2026<\/span>\u00a0<button id=\"read-more-cap\">More<\/button>\u00a0<span class=\"credit ar23-credit\">Orlando Ramirez\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cIt isn\u2019t known whether official offers are being made at meetings this week, but it is all but certain the slugger will set the record for contract value currently held by (Los Angeles) Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani (his historically deferred $700 million deal is valued somewhere between $437M and $470M). Soto\u2019s deal could reach $600 million, or possibly even a non-deferred $700 million,\u201d Heyman wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Teams will be getting very creative with Soto\u2019s contract. We saw the absolute extreme level of deferred money with Ohtani\u2019s contract, where he was given a $700 million with $680 million deferred.<\/p>\n<p>For Soto, we could see a much more passive approach. Maybe the team that lands him offers him $500 million with $200 million deferred. Maybe it\u2019s $600 million with $100 million deferred. Or maybe there\u2019s no deferred money at all.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, the odds that he lands a $700 million deal are becoming a very real possibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Juan Soto sweepstakes are taking over the\u00a0MLB\u2019s 2024 offseason this winter.
