As many of MLB's powerhouse teams have entered the fray for Juan Soto, the New York Yankees are putting their best foot forward to retain the four-time All-Star.
Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Yankees' "desire" in bringing back Soto "is most acute" as he has also met with the New York Mets, Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays.
The Yankees had their first in-person meeting with Soto this week. Owner Hal Steinbrenner described it as a "good" meeting, but he declined to provide specifics about their discussion other than to say it's a "priority" to keep him on the roster.
