Juan Soto free agency: Predicting teams, contract date

With the MLB winter meetings just around the corner, Juan Soto's free agent decision has the attention of the entire sport.

After helping the New York Yankees reach the World Series, Soto is expected to receive one of the richest contracts in baseball history, if not the richest. As the baseball world converges in Dallas starting Sunday, the 26-year-old's top suitors include the Yankees, New York Mets, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays.

While we wait to find out which team the superstar outfielder chooses, we asked our MLB experts to weigh in on all things Soto: when this year's No. 1 free agent will sign, whether he will choose to stay in the Bronx or head to a new home, and what will happen next after he makes his decision.

When do you think we'll know Juan Soto's next team -- before, at or after the winter meetings?

Jorge Castillo: The news will trickle out before, but it'll become official Monday -- the first day of the winter meetings -- with a news conference on Tuesday.
