The name of Juan Soto continues to be the most mentioned in the offseason of the Major Leagues along with Shohei Ohtani, and given the brakes that the New York Yankees have taken in their negotiations with the San Diego Padres to acquire the Dominican outfielder , Other teams have submitted offers for the player.

In his most recent article for ‘New York Post’, Jon Heyman, who is also a host for MLB Network, revealed that he has heard that The San Diego team “have offers from around five teams for Soto,” including one from the Toronto Blue Jays and others from the San Francisco Giants.who are also trying to sign Ohtani.

Until a couple of days ago The Yankees seemed on track to reach an agreement with the Padres, However, a supposed change proposal from Californians did not please New Yorkers.

And one of the reports states that San Diego has offered Soto along with outfielder Trent Grisham, in exchange for six players, something that New York considers a very high price.

Among the players requested by the National League team, the names of Michael King, Clarke Schmidt, Jhony Brito and Randy Vásquez, top prospects Drew Thorpethe Venezuelan Everson Pereira, and the Venezuelan infielder Oswald Peraza.

In that sense, it is said that The Bronx Bombers are not willing to let King or Thorpe go, and it is precisely this point that has led to the negotiations being frozen after everything seemed to be going in the right direction.

On the other hand, although Heyman did not mention which teams have submitted offers for Juan Soto, He speculated that the Seattle Mariners would be one of them. since they will have a vacancy in the outfield when they send Jarred Kelenic to the Atlanta Braves.
