The New York Yankees will meet with Juan Soto in the coming days with the aim of tempting him with an offer that mixes economics with sports, inviting him to become a legend of the best team in the history of the MLB. However, it will be difficult for them to overcome the proposal of their neighbors, the Mets, who according to reports have already written them a check for 660 million dollars.
Dominican journalist Héctor Gómez reported this Sunday that the Yankees plan to offer Soto a better contract than the Mets in annual salary, knowing that the metropolitans will give him a better deal in terms of years and total value.
