2024 Fantasy Outlook
All's well that ends well? Soto was hitting .202 with five homers and 11 RBI as the calendar flipped to May, making many fantasy managers rather nervous watching their first round foundational pick get off to such a poor start. Soto went on to turn things around, hitting 30 homers, driving in 98, and hitting .290 for the rest of the season to finish as the 16th most valuable fantasy player in our standard rankings. He was one of three qualified hitters with more walks than strikeouts in 2023 and has still not fallen below the .400 mark for a season on-base percentage in his entire career. The batting average has taken a tumble since the 2020-2021 season but the volume is still in place for the other statistics. After getting traded to the Yankees for his final year before free agency, Soto will gain a massive home-park power boost, as Yankee Stadium rates as the second best park for lefty power, per Baseball Savant's park factors, while San Diego rated as the fifth-worst such park. There will be immense pressure on him to produce in pinstripes as his free agency looms next winter. Read Past Outlooks
Receives qualifying offer
Soto received a qualifying offer from the Yankees on Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Soto is expected to decline the offer in what is simply a procedural move for the Yankees, who would receive draft compensation should the 26-year-old superstar sign with another team in free agency. Soto is the biggest name headed to the open market, and he's coming off his first season with the Yankees with a slash line of .288/.419/.569 with 41 home runs and 109 RBI across 713 plate appearances during the regular season.

How does Juan Soto compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Baseball is an incredibly difficult game, and even players with Hall of Fame skill sets will struggle for stretches. At the end of June, Soto was batting just .224. It leaked in the media that Soto had turned down the Nationals' 15-year, $440 million offer, setting the stage for a blockbuster trade that sent Soto out West for an all-time prospect haul. Batting average, as we know, has its limitations, and in Soto's case his .242 season mark is downright misleading. He still hit the ball with incredible authority and chased pitches outside of the zone at a lower rate than anyone. The Padres did not run much last season under manager Bob Melvin, but everything else sets up well for a big-time rebound in Soto's first full season in San Diego.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Qualifying offer will be extended
The Yankees are expected to extend Soto a $21.05 million qualifying offer, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
It would be among the easiest decisions general manager Brian Cashman has made. Soto, of course, will reject the offer, as he is in line to receiving a massive, long-term deal this winter. The Yankees will be among those in the thick of the bidding for the outfielder, with the Mets and Dodgers also among those expected to be in the mix.
