Report: Mets, Yankees among 5 finalists with offers for Soto

The field for Juan Soto is reportedly down to five teams.

The New York Yankees, New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Toronto Blue Jays all made offers late last week, a source told Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media.

Negotiations with Soto's agent Scott Boras are next, Miller adds.

The Athletic's Jim Bowden reported Sunday that involved teams expect the deal to be between $550M and $650 million, though Miller states it's believed Soto is looking for more than $700 million with no deferred money.

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said he and other senior organizational figures had a "good meeting" with Soto on Monday.

Soto is coming off a tremendous first season in New York, during which he slugged a career-high 41 home runs while maintaining his elite plate discipline. Only AL MVP Aaron Judge surpassed his 129 walks.

The 26-year-old owns a .953 OPS (160 OPS+) across seven seasons.
