Juan Soto said Thursday he would give his blessing to contract talks during the season if the New York Yankees want to approach his agent Scott Boras about a long-term contract.
Juan Soto will have a decision to make sooner than later on whether to re-up with the New York Yankees. His first time as a free agent looms in the fall. Perhaps he won’t make it to the open market at all. Soto says 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 deal. Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner told the team's YES Network he’d consider such a tactic for the three-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger who’s still just 25 years old.
