The New York Yankees have a strong shot at retaining Juan Soto in the offseason. But could they swipe a cross-town rival superstar as Plan B?
Superstar outfielder Juan Soto has arguably had the best year of his career in his first season in pinstripes, helping the Yankees get back into the postseason after a one-year hiatus.
While it's hard to envision the Yankees letting Soto walk, the organization must be prepared to replace him if he departs for another team.first baseman Pete Alonso as the fourth-best free agent this upcoming winter. And although Heyman named a number of teams that will likely be in on Alonso's services, the insider also brought up the Yankees as a possibility if Soto leaves.
Alonso hasn't had his best season in 2024, but is still one of, if not the best power-hitter in the game. No slugger has notched more home runs or RBIs since the 29-year-old made his MLB debut in 2019. The expectation is that the Mets will also be in on Soto given billionaire owner Steve Cohen's deep pockets and willingness to spend.
