New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman indicated Wednesday that he is prepared to make a strong play to retain superstar outfielder Juan Soto in free agency.
According to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), Soto acknowledged that while other options are available to him in free agency, he intends to do all he can in order to keep Soto in pinstripes:
"We certainly have an interest in retaining him and we'll put our best foot forward there. That will either lead to us retaining him and signing him back or we'll be forced to go to a different direction if we can't.
