The end seems to be in sight for the Juan Soto sweepstakes. With the Winter Meetings taking place in Dallas next week, all signs point to the superstar selecting a team as the baseball world comes together for the annual event. But will this year’s most anticipated free agency end without a final twist?
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman break down where things currently stand for the teams still in the race to land the star outfielder. The guys discuss why this whole free agency process has been pretty easy, whether a team might come too late before a decision is made and then make their picks on who Soto could ultimately choose.
Also in this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, FOX Sports and Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Joe Davis joins the show to discuss the Dodgers’ 2024 World Series run, Shohei Ohtani’s historic 50-50 season and Joe’s rise to fame in broadcasting. Jake and Jordan also talk about MLB’s possible Golden At-Bat rule before making their picks The good, the bad and the Uggla.
