Perhaps Juan Soto's free agency will be an exception to the Scott Boras rule.
More often than not, clients of the super-agent on the open market do not sign deals until the latter portions of the offseason — sometimes even right before spring training or on the cusp of Opening Day.
Considering the size of the domino that Soto is, getting a deal done earlier in the offseason will allow the rest of the free-agent market to fall as it may, though it feels like it will all wait for the 26-year-old superstar right fielder to choose a new home. That alone should be motivation enough for Boras to help get a deal done earlier.
Soto obviously eclipses every one of Boras’ late signings from last year by a considerable margin. There will only be a handful of motivated teams looking to shell out the historic $600 million-plus contract that is on deck. The Mets,, Toronto Blue Jays, and Boston Red Sox have already met with him, and the Los Angeles Dodgers were also expected to do so on Tuesday.
