Yankees refused KRW 597.5 billion in trade operation, this is the obstacle

"If the Dodgers lose the FA Mayor's recruitment of Shohei Ohtani...”

The New York Yankees is the most leading club in the recruitment of Juan Soto (25, San Diego Padres), who refused $440 million (about 597.5 billion won). The Yankees had various batting indicators this season among the American League and the bottom. Reinforcing the lineup is essential to make up for the humiliation of the postseason dropout and further challenge the top of the World Series.

In this regard, outfielder Soto, who boasts the best productivity in the Major League, is a perfect card for the Yankees. San Diego is also trying to trade Soto according to the paycut stance. There were also foreign media reports that there were many good promising pitchers on the Yankees mound.

The Athletic reported on the 29th (Korean time) that the Yankees and San Diego did not enter into specific negotiations. It's not even officially an offseason. The Yankees are focusing on establishing offseason plans and San Diego is focusing on appointing a new manager.

But it's only a matter of time before the two sides reach each other. Analysts say that "Devil Agent" Scott Boras will not easily sign an extension contract. However, there are two issues in the Soto trade at this point. One is the movement of other clubs, and the other is the time of trade.

"The potential problem for the Yankees is that other teams offer San Diego a better trade package," The Athletic said. The Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, and Texas Rangers also said they were interested in Soto.

The team that cares the most about the Yankees is the Los Angeles Dodgers. Basically, he will go all-in on recruiting Shohei Ohtani (29), but there is no recruitment in the world that is 100% certain. The Athletic said, "If the Dodgers lose the recruitment of Ohtani, they have a lot of young weapons." In other words, if the Dodgers fail to recruit Ohtani, there is no law that they will not recruit Soto. 토토사이트

The Dodgers basically need to reinforce their starting lineup. However, some say that it is difficult for Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman to have another MVP season at the same time. If so, it is also necessary to reinforce the lineup in the long run. Of course, it is questionable whether San Diego will send Soto to the "Tado" Dodgers. Still, it can be a variable.

In addition, since San Diego is a winnow in the 2024 season, it is more likely to trade Soto just before next year's trade deadline than the upcoming offseason, according to The Athletic. In other words, the final decision on whether to trade or not will be made after seeing the results by the first half of the year. On the other hand, the Yankees naturally need to recruit Soto in the offseason to run from the opening game of the 2024 season. This is why the Yankees can be more active in trading Soto.
