After a thrilling World Series, in which the New York Yankees were unable to complete the historic comeback, attention now turns to the future of Juan Soto. The young star, who joined New York in a high-profile trade, will become a free agent at the end of the MLB season.

The Yankees are interested in retaining Juan Soto, who has become a key part of their team. His talent and leadership were instrumental to the team’s success in the 2024 MLB season.

However, the Yankees will face stiff competition from other teams, such as the New York Mets and even the Los Angeles Dodgers, who are also interested in acquiring Soto’s services.
