- Fans are eagerly waiting to see how the contract talks unfold.
Hal Steinbrenner and Juan Soto might talk about a new contract to keep Soto with the Yankees for a long time. The Yankees are waiting to see what happens. Aaron Boone, the Yankees' manager, isn't worried about Soto leaving because Soto is focused on winning and playing well. It's unusual for Steinbrenner to talk about extending contracts before free agency, which caught the attention of other players like Gerrit Cole. Soto has been playing a big role in the Yankees' success this season and fits well with the team. The Yankees traded for Soto and Trent Grisham, showing they want to keep Soto for a long time. Boone hopes Soto stays with the Yankees. The Yankees recently beat the Minnesota Twins, as they often do. Steinbrenner wants to extend Soto's contract, but it might be tricky because of Soto's agent, Scott Boras. There's talk about negotiations between Soto's agent and the Yankees. In a podcast, they talk about Soto's negotiations and the great start of another player, Elly De La Cruz. De La Cruz is doing well on the field, stealing bases and aiming for 80 stolen bases this season. He plays better in Los Angeles, thanks to a video game. The podcast also discusses listener emails, teams they are optimistic about, and games to look forward to.
