The Los Angeles Dodgers met with four-time all-star Juan Soto this week but unless the market changes the defending World Series champs may have a tough time signing the coveted free agent, KTLA’s David “Ping” Pingalore reports.

The Dodgers are already well on their way to paying luxury tax penalties for a fifth consecutive year. But the Dodgers are not facing typical financial restraints either.

The defending World Series champions will soon meet with the offseason's top free agent. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Juan Soto will have a meeting early this week, perhaps as soon as Tuesday, reports MLB.
