Superstar free agent Juan Soto is set to start meeting with teams in California this week and the Toronto Blue Jays are the first on the list according to ESPN insider.
ESPN insider confirms the Blue Jays will be the first team to meet with Juan Soto
According to ESPN insider Jeff Passan, the Blue Jays will be the first team to meet with Soto in California this week as rumors have been stating that they are all in on trying to land him.
Soto is starting to take meetings with teams this week in California, and the Toronto Blue Jays will be first, according to major league sources. After trying to land Shohei Ohtani last winter, the Blue Jays are serious about adding a star alongside Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and have targeted Soto. -Passan
The two favorites in the Soto derby, the New York Mets and New York Yankees, also have meetings scheduled, according to sources. (Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed theirs.) -Passan
Blue Jay fans still have a hard time believing any of the rumors surrounding Soto after how last year went with Shohei Ohtani but with all these updates and the fact that he is taking a meeting with them, the possibility is definitely there.
