Juan Soto timeline emerges for next move as 3 clubs chase MLB star

The baseball world continues to wonder about the every move of superstar slugger Juan Soto , the crown jewel of this years free-agent market who is reportedly nine days away from deciding his next destination.

Following a dominant season with the New York Yankees , where he cracked 41 home runs, drove in 109 RBIs, and posted a .989 OPS, Sotos impending decision has ignited a bidding war in New York, Boston, Toronto and LA , that could exceed the $600 million threshold.

Sotos future has been the focal point of MLBs offseason after the Yankees World Series run ended in disappointment with a gentlemans sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers .

As the annual Winter Meetings approach, the uncertainty surrounding the 25-year-old's next move has caused Yankees fans to wonder if they will build on last season's success or lose a top player to potential rivals.

On MLB Networks Hot Stove, insider Jon Morosi provided a significant update about Sotos timeline.

Morosi revealed that Sotos decision is expected within the next 10 days on an episode that aired on Monday, potentially aligning with the Winter Meetings scheduled to begin on Dec.

4 in Dallas.

New York Yankees warned Aaron Judge stance might cost them Juan Soto signing Juan Soto could join exclusive 162-player list as Yankees 'biggest threat' has 'ability to pay' "We will know where Juan Soto is going within the next 10 days," Morosi reported.

"That would put us somewhere in the middle of next weeks Winter Meetings.

From what Ive gathered on both the team and agent sides, Soto appears to have started narrowing down his options this week.

A decision could be imminent." Morosi outlined similarities to the 2019 Winter Meetings in San Diego when Soto's agent, Scott Boras, produced deals for stars like Stephen Strasburg, Gerrit Cole , and Anthony Rendon nearly back to back.

Morosi predicts a similarly dramatic ending to Soto's free agency with himself, the No.

1 pitching free agent in Corbin Burnes, and No.

4 ranked free agent Blake Snell all being managed by Boras.

While Sotos destination remains uncertain, the most prominent suitors reported continue to be the Yankees and New York Mets , whose deep pockets position them as big-time players.

Under the ownership of billionaire Steve Cohen , the ball club has shown it will break the bank for generational talents, and Soto is expected to become one of baseball's highest-paid players.

The 25-year-old two-time All-Star and World Series champion was linked with the Boston Red Sox , Dodgers, and Toronto Blue Jays on Nov.

30.

Toronto was said to be willing to bring the highest offer to the table.

The Yankees, Mets, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Dodgers are all said to have already made an official offer.

The Winter Meetings are set to begin from Dec.

9-12 in Dallas, Texas, and the MLB 2025 draft lottery will take place on Dec.

10, with the Jays in the running to earn the top pick.

Spring training will commence in the middle of February with Opening Day scheduled for March 27.

Right after the World Series loss, Soto expressed that he would entertain all offers from each MLB team interested in his services.

"I don't know what teams are going to come after me.

Definitely, I'll be open to this and every single team.

I don't have any doors closed.

I' m gonna be available for all 30 teams" he said..
