Report: Dodgers set to meet with Soto
The Los Angeles Dodgers are scheduled to meet with free-agent outfielder Juan Soto early this week, sources told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
Soto has reportedly held meetings in California with the Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and New York Mets. The New York Yankees are expected to meet with Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, on Monday, Feinsand reports.
The four-time All-Star's meetings with the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Mets included representatives from ownership, front-office executives, and each club's manager, sources told Feinsand.
The World Series champion Dodgers have an opening in right field, with Teoscar Hernández hitting free agency and the team announcing that Mookie Betts will shift back to the infield next season.
Soto is the marquee free agent on the market this offseason after a terrific 2024 campaign. The 26-year-old set a career high with 41 home runs and helped the Yankees reach the World Series for the first time since 2009 in his first season with the club.
