SAN ANTONIO — Now that it’s November, the Juan Soto sweepstakes have officially begun. During this week’s MLB General Manager Meetings in San Antonio, much of the chatter was about the superstar free agent, and where he will land and how much money he might command on the open market.
Industry sources tell Yahoo Sports that the expectation around the league is that the 26-year-old superstar will likely stay in New York, either re-signing with the Yankees or joining the Mets in Queens. While some see the Yankees as having the inside track on Soto’s services after their trip to the World Series, the bigger appeal of the Yankees lies in their ability to pair Soto with Aaron Judge for the rest of Judge’s career.
