Batsman extraordinaire Juan Soto is the most coveted free agent not named Shohei Ohtani in a long, long time. Whatever contract he winds up signing this offseason is going to reflect that reality.  The market appeal of Soto is obvious.

Soto, the top free agent on the market, told Yankees chairman and managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner, team president Randy Levine, general manager Brian Cashman, manager Aaron Boone and senior adviser Omar Minaya how he believes the club could improve, according to Bob Klapisch of NJ Advance Media.

The New York Yankees are doing what they can to re-sign outfielder Juan Soto. If it doesn't happen, could they turn to Teoscar Hernández as their Plan B?

Soto was the only player on the 2024 roster to receive the QO from the Yankees, who will now be awarded a compensatory draft pick if the outfielder signs with another team.

If the Yankees want to dethrone the Dodgers, they may have to out-recruit them this winter. The Yankees, fresh off of losing the World Series to Los Angeles, are currently focused on re-signing Juan Soto after the right fielder enjoyed a star-studded 2024 campaign in the Bronx.
