The New York Yankees love Juan Soto and want to keep him for the rest of his career. He has become a fan favorite in the Bronx. Moreover, the offensive combination of the Dominican slugger along with Aaron Judge has been a revelation this year. This duo has helped the team immensely in the ongoing season. As a result, they are leading the American League East division with only 14 games to go. They have solidified their place in the playoffs and look like a real contender for the World Series. Previously, Juan Soto won the ‘Big Dance’ with the Washington Nationals in 2019. Later, in 2020, he won the National League Batting Championship.
After a successful collaboration with the Nationals, he moved to the San Diego Padres last year. It could have been a better experience than what he had last season. But then, the Yankees could have had a much better season last year, too. Both the NY side and the Dominican slugger were looking for redemption, and then they came together last offseason. It was a smart move, as it turned out. Now, both Soto and the Bronx Bombers are looking good to make the World Series once again. What next? Everybody wonders whether Soto will stay in the Bronx next year as well.
Juan Soto Wants To Keep His Options Despite Admitting Love For His Yankees Teammates
On Thursday, Juan Soto helped the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox with a game-winning walk-off. It was his first game-winning walk-off for the Pinstripes. Anyway, the Bleacher Creatures have been chanting “Soto Stay” all the time at the Yankee Stadium. Now, with his game-winning performances, he is just raising the hype. All eyes are on one of the brightest stars of modern-day baseball. Where will he decide to go next offseason? If the Dominican superstar stays in the Bronx, his offensive partnership with Aaron Judge can lead the team to do special things in the future. But the 2020 NL Batting champion will be the biggest free agent at the end of the 2024 season.
Since he is a Scott Boras client, any team that will come up with the biggest paycheck, will be able to sign him. Juan Soto has always managed to keep his fans on the edge of their seats about where he will go this offseason. Recently, in an interview with MLB.com, the Dominican superstar mentioned, “I won’t lie to you, they have made me feel at home since I arrived here.” However, he added that there are still options as, “You can never really discard a team.” Again, as usual, Soto says, he and his agent will have to see what happens in free agency. Clearly, his teammates at the Bronx have made him very comfortable, and he happily acknowledges that fact.
The Dominican Superstar Keeps Proving Why He’s One Of The Big Names In MLB
This dynamic player, Juan Soto, has electrified the Yankees since day one. He has helped the Yankees captain lead the team to the playoffs and quite possibly will fight for the World Series as well. But then, he will become the most sought-after free agent. MLB insiders suggest the two New York teams – the Mets and the Yankees have the best chance of signing Soto for the long term.
Should he get an offer of around $600 million? And why won’t he as he is lighting up the stat sheets over the 142 games he has played so far for the Yankees. Juan Soto ranks second on the list for the best on-base percentage and fourth in slugging percentage. With a .998 OBP and a .580 slugging percentage, he is also one of the contenders to win the 2024 AL MVP.
