The Juan Soto sweepstakes is officially underway.

The end of the World Series officially marked the beginning of the offseason, meaning Soto is now a free agent and is no longer listed on the New York Yankees' roster.

Having turned 26 less than a week age and putting up numbers hardly ever seen, there is no question Soto is the most coveted free agent of all time.

According to the New York Post, eight teams checked in with Soto's camp "with interest" within just two hours of the Yankees losing the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers. That number had reached 11 by Thursday morning.

Soto once turned down a 15-year, $440 million deal while he was with the Washington Nationals, in case you are looking for a baseline.

After the loss Wednesday night, he said he is open to all 30 teams.

"I feel like every team has the same opportunities when I go into free agency. I don't want to say anyone has an advantage because, at the end of the day, we're gonna look at what they have and how much they want me," Soto said.
