The New York Yankees have now increased their initial offer to superstar Juan Soto as they hope to retain the outfielder.
"The incumbent Yankees are making clear their resolve to try to retain their top target, but they also understand that the well-watched derby is only in the middle innings," Heyman wrote. "The situation remains fluid and any of four or more other interested teams still has a chance to win the prize of the winter.
As Heyman also reported, the Yankees had calls with some of the top starting pitchers on the market in Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, and were in on Blake Snell before he signed with the Dodgers on Tuesday, however, re-signing Soto remains as their focus.
