The second the final out of the 2024 World Series settled into Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith's glove, the race to sign New York Yankees right fielder Juan Soto was on.
Soto is entering free agency at the age of 26 with a resume to his name most players don't accumulate in a career. He owns four All-Star appearances, four top-10 MVP finishes, four Silver Sluggers, and a gaudy .285/.421/.532 career slashline.
