The New York Yankees losing their star to this NL contender would be an issue in many ways.
The left-handed slugger was already projected to get a $500 plus million contract entering the year, but it feels very safe to say that at this point, he'll be walking away with at least this figure and then some.However, there will be many other teams willing to give him even more than that. No matter what, New York needs to match the price. The Dominican Republic native is clearly one of the top hitters in baseball, and he makes the lives of the rest of the offense easier.
Los Angeles can't be counted out in any bidding war. They showed last offseason that they're willing to spend whatever it takes to build a World Series roster. If they had Soto and Shohei Otani on their team for the next 10-plus years, there wouldn't be a club better suited to win multiple World Series titles.
However, if the Dodgers are willing to spend big money to sign him, it'll look even worse for the Yankees if they don't.
