Is the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox rivalry about to heat up? According to beat writer Randy Miller, Boston is the team the Yankees are worried about in the race to land superstar free agent Juan Soto.

That the Boston Red Sox have been making an all-out push to sign generational free agent slugger Juan Soto has been widely reported. Now, a new report states that of the teams believed to be in contention for Soto the Red Sox have raced to the front of the pack.

After losing a handful of their stars to the Yankees over the history of the rivalry, it might be the Red Sox' turn to take a Yankees star.

The Mets also cannot be slept on. Mets owner Steve Cohen has openly been willing to break the bank to add a nonpareil talent to his fringe World Series caliber roster. Soto would be handsomely paid across the waters in Queens, NY.

New York Yankees star Juan Soto isn't likely to accept any sort of discount, though he may leave money on the table to avoid the Blue Jays.

Free agent slugger Juan Soto is expected to sign with someone during next week's Winter Meetings. He has offers from Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Blue Jays and Dodgers.

The New York Yankees and New York Mets are widely known as the top two teams in the Juan Soto sweepstakes, but a third team has emerged as the top bidder.
