While there was a belief he&#8217;d surpass the $500 million mark for his next contract,\u00a0whispers are now around $600 million, per Jon Heyman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whisper number for Juan Soto now is $600 million.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heyman even said the late Padres owner Peter Seidler would&#8217;ve possibly paid Soto even more than $600 million. There is no doubting that he&#8217;s a legitimate superstar and Soto just made his case for getting paid handsomely with a fantastic regular season. The 25-year-old hit .288 with a career-high 41 home runs.<\/p>\n<p>If it wasn&#8217;t for Aaron Judge&#8217;s brilliance, Soto would be named the American League MVP over his Yankees teammate. Regardless, Soto has proven that he&#8217;s worth a megadeal, whether that&#8217;s with New York or elsewhere. Soto is also doing his job in the postseason, batting .286 with two long balls.<\/p>\n<p>In early October, ESPN&#8217;s Buster Olney predicted that Soto will sign with the Mets this winter:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think [Soto is] going to wind up with the Mets,\u201d Olney on an episode of the \u2018Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney&#8217; podcast.<\/p>\n<div class=\"not-prose flex w-full flex-col gap-4 divide-y divide-solid divide-[#58585820] bg-[#FAFAFA] px-4 pt-5\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center justify-between\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col\">\n<article class=\"article-body prose max-w-none pb-7 pt-5 prose-figure:max-w-full prose-ol:pl-10 prose-img:max-w-full prose-video:max-w-full md:prose-ol:pl-6 [&amp;_iframe]:m-auto [&amp;_iframe]:block [&amp;_iframe]:max-w-full\">\u201cI think the fact that the Mets are having this phenomenal season, the way that it&#8217;s playing out, is going to increase the likelihood that he&#8217;s going to land there,\u201d Olney elaborated. \u201cBecause there&#8217;s going to be an enthusiasm with Steve Cohen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We know Cohen is never shy to pay big for a superstar. It remains to be seen if he&#8217;ll fork out $600 million for one of the game&#8217;s best hitters from.<\/p>\n<p>Moral of the story? Juan Soto is going to be a very rich man.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MLB insider Jon Heyman believes New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto will earn a $600 million deal in free agency.
