MLB superstar Juan Soto's free agency has sparked significant betting interest, with five major teams reportedly in pursuit of the 26-year-old slugger. The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, and New York Mets are all vying for his signature.

Current betting odds show the Yankees as favorites at -148, followed by the Mets at +200 and the Blue Jays at +700. Recent reports suggest the Dodgers may be cooling their interest after signing Blake Snell and pursuing Teoscar Hernandez.

Soto's remarkable statistics make him an exceptional free agent target:

• Never had an on-base percentage below .400 since 2018 MLB debut
• 41 home runs in previous season
• .989 OPS
• Third place in MVP voting
• Consistent durability with 650+ plate appearances every full season

The young slugger is expected to command a contract exceeding $600 million over 10+ years. A decision could come before baseball's Winter Meetings (Dec. 9-12), with teams wary of being used as leverage following last year's Shohei Ohtani negotiations.

Ontario-based sportsbook NorthStar Bets reports record engagement with Soto-related odds, with most bettors predicting he'll join the Mets rather than stay with the Yankees.
