Yeah, that would be Juan Soto. Evidently they were also in the running on Vlad Jr. but were unwilling to match the $3.5 million he eventually signed for.
The Vlad thing happens but man - what does 'unable to secure the funds' even mean? The billionaire owner of a major league team need to call the bank and get his credit line extended or something? That's just odd...

Soto and Vlad JR were literally 1 and 2 on the prospects list until Soto went up...that's crazy.
