One MLB executive believes that Juan Soto's decision to leave the New York Yankees for the New York Mets in free agency on a 15-year, $765 million deal "could be a blessing in the end" for the Bronx Bombers.
"The Soto deal is insane," the exec told ESPN's Jorge Castillo. "It could be a blessing in the end. Fried is an ace. Bellinger might hit 30 HRs there and shores up their defense. Goldschmidt is a Hall of Famer. Added a bullpen arm. All in all, pretty good."
New York had a busy offseason, notably adding starting pitcher Max Fried and first baseman Paul Goldschmidt in free agency and outfielder Cody Bellinger and closer Devin Williams via trade.
