Juan Soto Set to Explore Free Agency, Potentially Resetting MLB Market

Following an impressive start with the Yankees, Soto, influenced by Aaron Judge and agent Scott Boras, eyes a record contract.

Juan Soto, following a strong start with the Yankees, is expected to explore free agency, influenced by teammate Aaron Judge's decision.
Soto's relationship with agent Scott Boras could lead to a market-resetting contract, with potential offers starting at $500 million.
The Yankees' outfielder is predicted to seek a record $46 million annual salary, surpassing current benchmarks without deferrals.
Analysts believe the New York Mets, among other teams, could aggressively pursue Soto, challenging the Yankees' hopes to retain him.
Soto aims to set a precedent with his contract, benefiting future players and ensuring competitive salaries.
