As MLB free agency continues, one of the biggest names on the market could get closer to landing a new deal soon.

Per ESPN's Buster Olney, New York Yankees star free agent Juan Soto is expected to start receiving offers this week. According to Olney, Soto has spent the last few weeks meeting with teams and club officials, allowing both sides to get to know each other.

Soto had a tremendous season in his first year with the Yankees, hitting a career-high 41 home runs, 109 RBI, a .288 batting average and a .989 OPS. Alongside his New York co-star Aaron Judge, he helped lead the Yankees to the World Series where they fell short against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Soto had New York knocking on the door of a championship for the first time since 2009, which makes the Yankees eager to keep him in the Bronx. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported earlier this week that the Yankees' "desire" to bring back Soto "is most acute."

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said the team's first in-person meeting with Soto last week was "good" and said re-signing him is a "priority" but didn't give specifics about their conversation.

Amid the Yankees' push to retain Soto, a few other teams have joined the conversation as well. MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reported last week that Soto has met with the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays. Feinsand also noted that Soto was expected to meet with the Los Angeles Dodgers last Tuesday.

The Philadelphia Phillies are another team reportedly in the mix, per Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

It's unsurprising to see teams flocking toward Soto this offseason, and it won't be surprising if he inks a historic deal later this offseason. Spotrac gives him a market value of $36.7 million per year and projects a contract worth more than $500 million over 14 years. Others have projected him to land a 13-year deal worth $600 million.

He proved his value last season and now the 26-year-old is heading toward a big payday.
