Yankees Raise Their Offer To Juan Soto
16 mins agoThe New York Yankees have raised their offer to try and re-sign superstar outfielder Juan Soto in the last couple of days, according to people familiar with the situation. The news could come as a response to a report on Tuesday that said the division-rival Boston Red Sox are making an early push to try and pry Soto away from the Bronx. In addition to the Yankees and Red Sox, the Mets, Dodgers and Blue Jays are in on the Soto sweepstakes. New York has also reached out to free-agent pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried, but they remain solely focused on trying to bring Soto back after he hit a career-high 41 home runs in 2024 and led the team to a World Series appearance. The 26-year-old generational talent is expected to set an MLB record for contract value, with word coming that teams are willing to go beyond $600 million to land him. Soto is believed to be interested in a 15-year deal.
