This year's Major League Winter Meeting will be held in Dallas, Texas from the 10th to the 12th (Korea time). Local media believe Soto will complete the contract before the end of the winter meeting.
In particular, ESPN reported on the 4th that `Soto is expected to decide his future course this weekend, according to a source familiar with the negotiation situation while Juan Soto's FA process is in the final stage.'
But agent Scott Boras said "You have to go through these things when you negotiate the FA. There is so much information to review"I had meetings with a lot of clubs, and Soto is now starting to figure out the candidates. He is a very meticulous style. I don't think anything is imminent in the near future" and conducted a smoke-free operation.
When Soto began looking into the terms of the contract last week, it was compressed into six locations, including the New York Yankees, the New York Mets, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and a mysterious team unknown to draw, according to local media.
For now, Soto's ransom reached $600 million. The Athletic reported on the same day that the bid for Juan Soto exceeded $600 million, according to two officials in an officially unspeakable position. In other words, all six clubs have offered more than $600 million.

However, there are also many objections to this. Even if Toronto offered the best conditions, it would be difficult to get Soto's choice. Five experts, including MLB.com reporters and editors, shared their opinions on Soto's FA process on the 5th.
"It's hard to believe that Mets owner Steve Cohen bets less than the Blue Jays," said Mets reporter Anthony DiComo. No one can go beyond Cohen."
Iain Brown, a Boston reporter, `I don't think it's Toronto. There always seems to be a player that the Blue Jays are willing to go with. It was Shohei Ohtani last yearToronto, however, is not as desirable a base as other candidate clubs because Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s future is uncertain.
Guerrero Jr. is highly likely to transfer because he will become an FA when he finishes next season. Another signpost in Toronto??The same goes for. The opinion is that it is difficult for Soto to choose a team that is likely to weaken power.
Reporter Mark Pinesand said "It's a ridiculous idea that Soto is signing with the team that offered the most money. What would happen if Toronto called $1 million more than the Yankees or Mets? Will Soto get the money and leave New York for Toronto? It's not true. "The Blue Jays may have offered the most offers. I made a very aggressive offer to Ohtani last year as well. Of course, if you want to bring a player to a country other than the United States, you have to show the best conditions. But I spoke to four Major League Baseball officials, none of whom saw Soto sign for Toronto" he said.

Yankees reporter Brian Hawke said, `Even if the Blue Jays outperform other clubs in terms of dollars and contract terms, taxes, exchange rates, and logistics should be considered. Toronto has many advantages in that it is the Eastern District team, the metropolitan market that Soto wants, but he said the priority is 'winning'. Can the Blue Jays give Soto a winning dream in the long run?"I viewed the trip to Toronto negatively.
The overall atmosphere, including them, is focused on Soto staying in New York. If the Yankees had also bet more than $600 million, the Mets might have offered a condition close to $700 million. In any case, Soto's ransom should be considered to exceed Ohtani's $700 million, which is $680 million in terms of real value, that is, the suspension of payment.
