Juan Soto expected to lead MLB free agency with record contract potential

Outfielder Juan Soto is a top MLB free agent, expected to secure a record-breaking contract between $500 million and $650 million. His agent, Scott Boras, is known for maximizing player contracts and represents many of the league's best players. Free agency begins with teams negotiating with their current players for five days after the World Series. Soto's future is uncertain, with speculation he may stay with the Yankees or join the Mets. Other notable free agents include starting pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, both sought after by multiple teams. The free-agent market features a mix of experienced players and emerging talent. Starting pitching is abundant, while impact hitters like Soto are in high demand. Teams will be active in pursuing these players as the offseason progresses.
