GOOD NEWS: New York Yankees Fans Will Be Delighted With Latest Juan Soto Report By GM Brain Cashman

The New York Yankees are beginning to embark on a full-court press to get Juan Soto back to the Bronx.

Following reports that New York Mets owner Steve Cohen will meet with Soto and his agent, Scott Boras, next week, the Yankees have also planned a meeting.

According to the New York Post’s Mark W. Sanchez and Jon Heyman, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner will go to Southern California within the next week and a half to meet with the generational talent and his agent.

“The billionaire behemoths have begun the fight for one of the most enticing baseball free agents ever — a battle that surely will include much of the rest of the league but could come down to the New York powers,” according to the newspaper.

Soto was acquired by the Yankees in a blockbuster trade with the San Diego Padres before the 2024 season. All Soto did was help lead the Bronx Bombers to a World Series berth while putting up MVP-level numbers: 41 home runs, 128 runs scored, 109 RBI,.989 OPS, and 7.9 WAR (wins above replacement).

 

Furthermore, Soto will only be 26 years old in 2025, so he has several elite seasons ahead of him, assuming he keeps healthy.

How much will it cost to sign Juan Soto?

It would not be surprising if Soto matched or exceeded Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, the largest professional sports contract in history.

“No one in the sport has more money than Cohen. No one in the sport is under more pressure to sign Soto than Steinbrenner, whose team mortgaged part of its future in trading for the outfielder ahead of his walk year and hasn’t won a World Series since 2009, according to the New York Post.

ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel expects Soto will sign a 13-year, $611 million contract. If Soto departs the Bronx for Queens, the Yankees will face an absolute tragedy. If this occurs, it may set the Yankees back for years.
