Yanks, Jays, Red Sox, Giants, Orioles are among main players for Corbin Burnes. NYY could possibly, potentially do both Soto and Burnes (but of course they’d look to save $ elsewhere if they did)

All 5 teams — Yanks, Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox, Jays — remain in Juan Soto derby. And don’t assume anyone’s a heavy favorite. He is said very patient in his selection process (“like his at-bats”). But his decision is believed within days.

The Cardinals are working from a very limited list of Nolan Arenado's preferred teams as they consider trade possibilities for the future Hall of Famer.

@Buster_ESPN


Rival execs say that if the Cardinals are going to move Nolan Arenado, who is owed $64 million, they expect St. Louis would have to either eat some salary or take on a contract a trade partner wants to move. Chris Taylor is owed $17 million on his deal. If LAD wants him, seems like there is middle ground to be found.

Holy F at the Soto deal. National League just got tougher.

Juan Soto is one of the greatest hitters ever, and Mets owner Steve Cohen fully flexed his financial power to get this done. This deal is an outlier in so many ways, and this is one: David Ortiz built a HOF career as a DH, and the highest salary he ever made was $16m. Soto will probably be a DH for more than half of the next 15 years, and he'll be guaranteed $51m annually.

Anthony Santander has strong interest from the AL East clubs that fell short on Juan Soto:
Blue Jays
Red Sox
Yankees
Santander’s 44 HR this season are the 5th-most by a switch hitter, following Mickey Mantle (twice), Lance Berkman, and Chipper Jones.
