Juan Soto’s rumors of signing with the Boston Red Sox have garnered much attention on social media. Soto is the biggest free agent this offseason, and rumors will continue to swirl until he signs with a team. The competition keeps getting more complex as multiple teams are trying for the All-Star.
The New York Yankees have recently upgraded their offer for Soto. On the other hand, the New York Mets are ready to cross boundaries to sign the star slugger. With many teams ahead in the race, the Red Sox seem to have a long shot.
MLB insider Mike Rodriguez took to social media to say that Juan Soto is interested in the idea of going to the Red Sox. MLB fans seemed to have had enough of such speculations as they lashed out at Rodriguez for his recent update.
Here’s a look at some of the fan reactions from X.
“Stop spreading fake news clown,” wrote one fan.
“U just said it’s highly likely he’s a Met! Make up ur mind Mike,” another fan responded.
“No, Mike….it’s Thanksgiving not April’s fools……Wrong tweet bro!!!” another fan responded.
“Stop it with these fake ass reports,” another fan chimed in.
Yankees Need To Wait Patiently For Juan Soto’s Decision
The Yankees are adamant to sign Juan Soto and bring him back to the Bronx. Steve Cohen and the Mets are aggressively pursuing him, while a few other teams remain slight favorites. It’s time for the waiting game since the Yanks have done everything they could in their power.
Han Steinbrenner met Soto, and they even upgraded him. Now, they need to wait patiently for Soto to decide. The Mets are the only threat to the Yanks at this moment. The Blue Jays, Red Sox, and Dodgers currently stand far away from signing the slugger.
Scott Boras is expected to go for the highest bid. Soto is expected to do the same, but many believe that he has a soft corner for pinstripes.
