Can be due to too much water while the tomato is developing/ ripening. Maybe you are in one of the parts of the country that had lots of heavy rains? Helps to be sure the soil they are in is very well drained.

FEEL watery? like, way too soft to the touch? there's an either fungal or viral infection the fruits can get that can make spreading patches of watery-feeling tomato (on or off the plant; it can spread from on fruit to another in a box)...that sound like the right thing?

sorry, no help on what to do about it, except isolate the affected ones.
