Dodgers will enter Juan Soto sweepstakes — thanks to Shohei Ohtani’s contract

The Los Angeles Dodgers, currently in a strong position in the World Series against the New York Yankees, are reportedly interested in acquiring superstar Juan Soto. This potential move comes on the heels of Shohei Ohtani’s new contract, which has significantly impacted the team’s financial flexibility.

Sources indicate that while the Yankees and Mets are viewed as frontrunners to sign Soto—given their strong teams and financial capabilities—the Dodgers also have the resources to make a competitive offer. However, a key consideration for the Dodgers is whether Soto would be willing to return to the West Coast after his successful season in New York.
