The New York Yankees' two highest-paid players got honest about Juan Soto's looming free agency on Thursday.
This was apparent during World Series media day on Thursday, where the Yankees' two highest-paid players were asked whether they've spoken to Soto about his upcoming free agency decision.
Yankees slugger and expected 2024 AL MVP winner Aaron Judge made it clear that his focus wasn't on Soto's decision at this point.. "You know, we got better things ahead of us right now with trying to take care of this World Series. I know when the time comes, when this is all over, he'll make the right decision for himself."Judge and Soto became the first Yankees teammates to each hit 100+ RBIs since 2011.
When Yankees' ace Gerrit Cole was asked whether he's had any free agency conversations with Juan Soto, he said, "I've left him alone in terms of that. I certainly would love to see him stay. I think he's a wonderful player, an amazing talent. And hopefully, the actions of the organization, both of his teammates and everybody that pours into this club speak for themselves in terms of how much we want him and what he means to us, especially while he's here.
