Rival teams believe the Toronto Blue Jays are set to make the highest offer to free agent Juan Soto
The MLB off-season's main focus has been on free agent Juan Soto and according to reports, many rival teams believe that the Toronto Blue Jays will be making him the highest offer.
The Blue Jays were the first team to meet with Soto a couple weeks ago and reports suggested that the meeting went extremely well but fans still have a hard time believing that Soto will come to Toronto after how last year went with Shohei Ohtani.
Rival teams believe the Blue Jays will be making the highest bid for Juan Soto
According to multiple reports, the bidding teams such as the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees believe that the Blue Jays will be making the highest offer for Soto.
It looks like the Toronto Blue Jays are serious about their pursuit of free-agent outfielder Juan Soto.
There's widespread belief among Soto bidders that the Blue Jays will come in with the highest offer for him, according to SNY's Andy Martino.- Mcwilliam

This would make sense since if the Blue Jays are serious about trying to land Soto, the only way they would be able to land him after how terribly the 2024 season went is by making him the highest offer.
Despite many believing that Soto is just using the Blue Jays to raise his price, reports stated that Soto is willing to play for all the teams that are involved in the final bidding process.
Soto would reportedly be willing to join the Blue Jays, as a source told Martino that the 26-year-old is willing to play for any team that's involved in the final bidding process. -Mcwilliam
There is a good chance that the Blue Jays end up extending Vladimir Guerrero Jr if they land Soto since it would be shocking if Soto did not tell them that he wants Guerrero in Toronto if he decides to sign.
If the Blue Jays are truly able to land Soto, this is a move that can turn this entire team around.
