If the Yankees lose Juan Soto, what they should diligently work to gain is aligning as an actual team.
SAN ANTONIO —
But Torres almost certainly will be gone and the Yankees at least have to brace for a Plan B if Soto ends up on the other side of the RFK Bridge The Yankees can say that Jasson Dominguez is going to play center, but watching him try to field late in 2024 should not fill anyone with confidence that he can handle center field — and that is also assuming he will definitely hit as a full-time major leaguer.
