Juan Soto meets Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner in July

Juan Soto recently met with Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, expressing appreciation for the owner's genuine interest in players. Their conversation, which took place in July, revolved around Soto's experiences with the Yankees and how the team could improve the experience for new players. Soto, who was acquired from the San Diego Padres, has enjoyed his time in New York, celebrating the team's playoff berth with his teammates. He is expected to enter free agency soon, potentially commanding a record-setting contract, with projections suggesting a deal worth around $560 million.
