Juan Soto's Big Questions for Teams Seeking His Talent

Juan Soto, the superstar outfielder, is not just about the money in his free agency talks. He's been meeting with big clubs like the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, New York Yankees, and even the World Series champs, the Los Angeles Dodgers. Each of these meetings involves top brass, from owners to managers. Soto is fishing for more than just a big paycheck. He wants to know if these teams are really serious about winning, what their stadiums and training facilities are like, and how they evaluate players. These questions make a lot of sense. Soto, who is only 26, is looking at a contract that could last over a decade. He needs to be sure he's joining a team that's committed to success. It's not enough to have a fancy stadium or deep pockets. He wants a team that can help him shine and win. The baseball world thinks Soto could make his decision before December 9, when the Winter Meetings start. That's when we might know where this talented player will call home for the next chapter of his career.
