Juan Soto isn\'t in a rush to sign with a club in free agency, says agent Scott Boras.
Speaking at the general manager\'s meetings, Boras indicated that Soto desires a \"thorough\" vetting before making a decision.
\"Due to the volume of interest and Juan\'s desire to hear [from teams], I can\'t put a timeframe on it, but it\'s going to be a very thorough process for him,\" Boras said. \"He wants to meet people personally. He wants to talk with them. He wants to hear from them.\"
Soto, 26, helped lead the New York Yankees to a World Series appearance, but that doesn\'t necessarily give the team a leg up on the competition to sign him.
\"He wants ownership that\'s going to support that they are going win annually,\" Boras said. \"Owners want to meet with Juan and sit down and talk with him about what they\'re going to provide for their franchise short term and long term.\"
