Juan Soto's final decision could be just days away.
The free-agent superstar will hold final meetings this weekend with the finalists for his services and will make his decision by the time the winter meetings begin Dec. 9, ESPN's Jeff Passan reports.
Passan added he doesn't know who the favorites are, citing the New York Mets, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Toronto Blue Jays, and Los Angeles Dodgers as all still in the running.
The floor for Soto's new deal is widely considered to be $600 million, with $700 million reportedly becoming increasingly likely if interested teams are willing to add a 14th or 15th year to acquire the 26-year-old.
Soto is fresh off a strong debut season with the Yankees for which he was named an MVP finalist in the American League.
The Dominican phenom slashed .288/.419/.569 with a career-high 41 home runs and 109 RBIs in 157 games. His 8.1 fWAR ranked third in the AL behind Bobby Witt Jr. and Aaron Judge.
