Juan Soto Free Agency Odds: Which teams have the best chance of landing the 4x All-Star?

Juan Soto is the hottest name in the MLB right now. Even though the 26-year-old outfielder and the New York Yankees lost the World Series 4-1, Soto's unrestricted free agency has taken over the headlines. Although it remains to be seen where he will be playing in 2025, the only certainty is that he will sign one of the richest contracts in MLB history.

Although the New York Yankees have expressed their interest in bringing him back into the fold for the foreseeable future, they will undoubtedly face stiff competition for Juan Soto. The four-time All-Star is coming off another massive season, posting a .288 batting average with 41 home runs, 109 RBIs and a .989 OPS, which will only help his case in negotiations.

With a number of teams linked to the All-Star outfielder and his free agency not expected to end anytime soon, predictions and rumors will continue throughout the offseason. That being said, popular sports betting site BetMGM has already released the odds of where he might be playing next season.

A closer look at the betting odds for Juan Soto's potential landing spot

New York Yankees (-120)

Although there have been rumors of several teams looking to get into the Juan Soto sweepstakes, according to BetMGM, the New York Yankees have the best odds of bringing the superstar back. After a run to the World Series, and seemingly strong relationship with star Aaron Judge, it might be difficult for Soto to find a more ideal landing spot than returning to the Yankees.

New York Mets (+150)

Speaking of teams entering the Soto sweepstakes, the New York Mets might be the most legitimate threat to pry the outfielder away from the Yankees. Mets owner Steve Cohen could use his immense wealth in order to secure the 26-year-old's signature, with the contract potentially reaching as high as $700 million. If anyone is going to make a massive offer, it must be Cohen and the Mets.

Los Angeles Dodgers (+850)

It may not be the news that MLB fans will want to hear, but BetMGM has the Los Angeles Dodgers as the team with the third best odds of landing Soto. Thanks to the deferred contract of Shohei Ohtani, the Dodgers will be able to secure another high-profile superstar. If they are able to bring in Juan Soto, they might be adding another World Series title to their trophy case.

Toronto Blue Jays (+1600)

Another team looking to push for a deep postseason run is the Toronto Blue Jays. It was a disappointing 2024 season for the Blue Jays as the team failed to clinch a postseason berth. Although most of the roster underperformed, a pairing of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Soto could be special. Keep an eye on the Blue Jays as the offseason continues.

Chicago Cubs (+1600)

While the three teams listed above have been mentioned in rumors for a while now, BetMGM believes that the Chicago Cubs could be a realistic dark-horse contender. The Cubs have been looking to return to World Series contention, and if they are able to bring in Juan Soto, that would certainly help their case.
