With the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers and Guardians on center stage this week, we build each team's case to land MLB's soon-to-be most sought-after superstar.
With MLB's final four on center stage this week, we figured we'd give them the chance to make a preemptive pitch to this offseason's soon-to-be most sought-after superstar. For each team -- including the Guardians -- we've tagged one of ESPN's MLB experts to present the case for why Soto should sign there. Additionally, Judge Jeff Passan has put on his robe and will bang his virtual gavel to rate each pitch.
In L.A., Soto can star in a market that is enormous but also not suffocating. He can play alongside some of the best players in the world. He can carve out a legacy for a historic franchise. And he'll hardly break a sweat while doing so.Sunny Los Angeles days do enchant even the most cynical people, and the prospect of turning the Dodgers' trio of Hall of Fame bats into a quartet has real appeal.
Sure, Cleveland's payroll pales in comparison to the rest of these teams but that means there is room for a going-rate salary for a generation hitter, with the chance to use what has worked to get Cleveland this far to supplement the roster. And if you like competition, the AL Central is pretty darn fun these days.An A for effort. But Soto already has been in a smaller market in San Diego, and the appeal of relative anonymity wasn't strong enough to compel him to consider an extension.
