The winter's top free agent was looking for more than just money as he met with teams in Southern California, according to a new report.
Juan Soto was just a teenager when he debuted with the Washington Nationals in 2018. Few players of his caliber debut so young and change teams even once before reaching free agency. Yet Soto, still only 26, played for three different teams before heading to free agency for the first time this offseason.At each of his first two stops in MLB — first the Washington Nationals, then the San Diego Padres — Soto had a chance to get to know each team's owner.
And word is he felt better about Steinbrenner and the Yankees after their meeting, when MLB's most marquee franchise also emphasized their edge over everyone else in revenue, tradition and brand.Steinbrenner told reporters at the MLB owners' meetings this week that the Yankees' meeting with Soto lasted a couple hours. Also present, he said, were manager Aaron Boone, general manager Brian Cashman, and Yankees executive Omar Minaya.
