What issues to Juan Soto?
Does he merely wish to go to the crew that pays him probably the most? (By which case, perhaps Steve Cohen’s Mets have the sting.) Does he worth his legacy above all? (The Yankees would have a robust argument.) Does he wish to be part of the crew with probably the most expertise? (The Dodgers lurk.) How concerning the probability to show round a franchise that, if carried out efficiently, would make him a legend in its metropolis? (The Crimson Sox, Blue Jays and Phillies all apply.)
We might have discovered a bit extra about Soto’s priorities Wednesday, when Hal Steinbrenner revealed a uncommon element from the Yankees’ assembly with Soto and agent Scott Boras in Southern California: Soto needed to know concerning the player-development pipeline.
“He didn’t really spend any time in our player-development complex,” Steinbrenner mentioned on the House owners Conferences in Midtown. “So I think he’s probably asking this of all the clubs. I’m sure he just wants to know about the different systems and about the different players, the pipeline and all that.”
