A recent report stated that the Japanese ace is expected to begin meeting with and possibly negotiate with teams as soon as Dec. 15.
The Seattle Mariners and all 29 other teams began Winter Meetings on Dec. 9 and will continue to meet through Dec. 12th in Dallas.
Now that the race for Soto is over, a lot of the attention in the offseason will be spent on who will land Japanese phenom and potential ace pitcher Roki Sasaki. Per a report from Francys Romero, Sasaki and agent Joel Wolfe are expected to meet with interested MLB teams as early as Dec. 15, three days after Winter Meetings end.
The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres have been viewed as the favorites to land Sasaki since the news broke that he would be posted. But Seattle is also reportedly preparing a pitch for the NPB's record holder for single-game strikeouts.
