The end appears to be in sight for the Juan Soto sweepstakes. With the Winter Meetings set to take place next week in Dallas, all signs point to the superstar selecting a team as the baseball world gathers for the annual event. But will this years most anticipated free agency end without one last twist?
Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about where things currently stand for the teams still in the running to land the star outfielder. The guys discuss why this whole free agency process has been fairly simple, whether a team might make a late push before a decision is made and then make their picks for who Soto might ultimately choose.
Also on 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 Ohtanis historic 50-50 season and Joes rise in the broadcasting world. Jake and Jordan also talk about MLBs potential Golden At-Bat rule before making their picks for The Good, The Bad & The Uggla.
