Toronto Blue Jays strong contenders for Juan Soto

The Toronto Blue Jays are emerging as strong contenders for Juan Soto in free agency, competing against teams like the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, and Red Sox. Soto, a 26-year-old standout hitter with four All-Star appearances, a batting title, and a World Series win, would bolster the Jays’ lineup alongside Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. Despite Toronto’s last-place finish in the AL East and recent playoff struggles, the team has financial resources and market advantages as Canada’s sole MLB team. Soto is motivated by financial opportunities, having turned down a $440 million deal with the Nationals. The Blue Jays’ future roster flexibility after 2026 could allow them to build around Soto and retain Guerrero Jr. Soto’s success in the AL East with the Yankees makes Toronto a plausible long-term fit, and the team is poised to make a strong pitch if they secure a meeting with him.
