One MLB insider believes the New York Yankees will get "outbid" for superstar outfielder Juan Soto in free agency.

“And I do think in the end, the Yankees are going to be outbid by somebody. I can’t see Hal (Steinbrenner) going to nutty numbers and we don’t know if (New York Mets owner) Steve Cohen is going to do like he does with some of his art and just blow the competition out of the water.”

The New York Yankees lost the the Seattle Mariners 3-2 on Thursday, but the final score was the last thing on Yankees fans minds. Instead, everyone was focused on how superstar outfielder Juan Soto, who is in the midst of a career-year in his first season with the Yankees, was feeling after a scary moment earlier in the game.

Yankees' star Juan Soto’s elite ability to reach base is undeniable, but his decisions on the basepaths are raising concerns.

Juan Soto will try to build on a one-hit showing in his last game (1-for-3 with an RBI). His New York Yankees square off versus Bailey Falter and the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday at 3:05 PM ET on

And now, it’s the slow wait for the start of what Aaron Judge over the years has called “the real season.” For the Yankees, that begins Saturday at the Stadium against the winner of this week’s best-of-three wild-card series between the Orioles and Royals in Baltimore.

Aaron Judge and Juan Soto each cleared 120 walks and 120 runs in 2024, making the New York Yankees duo the first pair of teammates in MLB history to do so.
