Juan Soto News
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto had a monster day on Saturday in the Yankees' 6-1 win over the Chicago White Sox. Soto blasted two home runs, both solo shots off White Sox starter Brad Keller, and tallied three RBI in the midst of going 4-4 with a walk. The lefty's big day raised his OPS to a team high .975, just a couple ticks above teammate Aaron Judge. After coming over in a trade from the San Diego Padres in the offseason, Soto is proving the trade package was worth the cost. The 25-year-old stated on Thursday that he would be open to contract talks with the Yankees during the season if they approached his agent Scott Boras. It would likely be a smart decision for the Yankees to do so. Soto will look to continue his MVP-caliber season on Sunday against scheduled White Sox starter Chris Flexen.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto said on Thursday that he would give his blessing to contract talks during the season if the Yankees want to approach his agent, Scott Boras, about a long-term contract. Owner Hal Steinbrenner said he'd consider such a tactic for the three-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger, who is just 25 years old. "We'd like to see him here for the rest of his career. I don't think there's any doubt in that," Steinbrenner said. Soto is currently hitting a strong .302 with nine homers, 34 RBI and a .920 OPS in his first 45 games in pinstripes. Neither Steinbrenner nor Boras typically do in-season contract extensions, but the Yankees are willing to make an exception with such a special player. If the two sides don't reach an extension before free agency this winter, Soto will be a highly sought-after free agent.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto collected a season-high five RBI in Wednesday's 9-4 win over the visiting Houston Astros, going 3-for-5 with a home run in the victory. Soto clubbed his ninth homer of the season off Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti in the first inning for two runs, later driving in three more amidst the rout. The 25-year-old perennial Silver Slugger hasn't stopped raking since joining the Yankees, including spring training, now slashing a tremendous .338/.437/.586 with nine long balls, seven doubles, 33 RBI, and four stolen bases over 174 trips to the plate (38 games) in the 2024 regular season as New York's everyday right fielder. The Tampa Bay Rays are up next for Soto during a three-game series starting on Friday. In six games against the Rays since 2023, Soto is hitting just .150 (3-for-20) with one big fly, one double, and four RBI.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto is playing half his games in the most lefty-friendly ballpark on a contract year. This dream scenario lands the generational talent as a potential MVP with projected stats around 38 HR, over 100 runs, and RBI, a .285/.425/.550 triple slash line while adding 10 steals. Soto should be in the 2-hole every day, possibly batting third against lefties, and the Yankees lineup will score a ton of runs. He's the best in baseball at drawing walks, sporting a lifetime of .421 OBP, and this trend will continue next season, hitting next to arguably the best lineup protection around from Aaron Judge. The Yankees will have the most dynamic 1-2-3 in the American League if the speedy Anthony Volpe earns another opportunity to lead off. Soto has never eclipsed 35 HR, but 2024 is the year for him to set a new career high. Last year, there were over 20 occasions where Soto registered an out or a double, and that batted ball would have cleared the wall in Yankee Stadium! Draft Soto in the first round with confidence (NFBC ADP is 13th overall) that he wants to be amazing in Pinstripes to earn an enormous contract [bigger than the $440 million Washington offered in 2022], leading your fantasy team along the way.
