Juan Soto He is one of the most coveted free agents in the Major Leagues facing the 2025 season. The Dominican player spent the last year with the New York Yankees, but has already received offers from at least five other organizations to acquire his services.
The question is in What will happen to the Yankees if they lose Soto. The patrolman aims to receive a contract of more than a decade that aims to be more than 600 million dollars and perhaps Hal Steinbrenner’s organization is not willing to spend that much with a high payroll thanks to Aaron Judge, Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton .
According to the report of the New York Post, The Yankees have made calls with pitchers Corbin Burnes and Max Fried in case they can’t sign Soto. However, none of the pitchers have received a formal offer from the ‘Manhattan Mules’.
Burnes made 32 starts for the Baltimore Orioles in 2024 and obtained an ERA of 2.92 after allowing 63 runs in 194.1 innings worked. Financially, the right-hander is worth $15.6 million, according to Spotter.
For its part, Fried appeared in 29 games for the Atlanta Braves, two of which were complete games and one ended in a shutout.. The left-hander achieved a 3.25 ERA because opponents scored 63 earned runs during the 174.1 innings he worked. Fried’s contract would be similar to Burnes’s with a difference of $600,000.

The best Major League outfielders available in free agency
After Soto, the quality of free agents drops dramatically at the outfield position. Among the available players are Teoscar Hernández, Michael Conforto, Mark Canha, Anthony Santander and Harrison Bader.
The main disadvantage is that none of them can produce like the former Yankees player.. Soto had a WAR of 7.91 while among the five most notable outfielders they barely added up to 10.13, of which 4.29 are from Hernández and 2.93 from Santander.
