Word is that within two hours of the Yankees losing the World Series, eight rival teams checked in with interest, and by Thursday morning, the number was up to 11.
Top free agent hitter Juan Soto ’s new magic number is thought to be $700M — and that’s a solid $700M, not the record $700M contract that’s 97 percent deferred that Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani received from the Dodgers.
The Yankees are not acting like they are beholden to keeping it to Judge’s $40M salary. Instead, they are far more interested in keeping baseball’s most dynamic lefty-righty slugging duo together. Judge’s priority is to keep winning, not to hold the franchise salary record, and while Soto stuck to the script and said all 30 teams have equal chances, his presence in the lineup/clubhouse is said to be seen as a plus.
Soto stuck to the script following the disheartening defeat that stamped the Dodgers as world champions, saying no team holds any edge entering this derby. Media tried, but he didn’t budge.
