New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto had a milestone game for several reasons in Tuesday's 11-2 win over the Mariners. Soto went 2-for-2 with a double, a two-run home run, and two walks. The 25-year-old lined a fourth-inning Bryan Woo fastball over the center-field wall for his 40th HR of the season and the 200th of his career. Not only did he become the eighth player to reach 200 HR before turning 26 years old, but Soto's homer in T-Mobile Park completed his quest to hit a HR in all 30 current MLB ballparks. Soto is having a career power season, slashing .287/.417/.576 with 120 runs scored, 103 RBI, and five stolen bases in 671 plate appearances. He has been a high-end fantasy player throughout his career and has fit in perfectly with a strong Yankees lineup. Despite being a free agent at the end of this season, Soto will continue to be a top fantasy pick regardless of where he lands.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto hit a go-ahead two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Royals in a 1-for-5 day at the plate. The blast came in the sixth inning of a tight 1-0 ballgame and in a tough matchup against All-Star left-hander Cole Ragans, sending Yankee Stadium into a frenzy. Soto is in the midst of another fantastic season, although the home run comes during an uncharacteristic cold spell for the superstar, having gone 3-for-21 (.143) over the last six games with eight strikeouts. For the year, the 4x All-Star owns a robust .289-39-100-115-5 line with more walks (117) than strikeouts (105), leading to an elite .418 OBP.
USA TODAY baseball columnist Bob Nightengale reported on Tuesday the Toronto Blue Jays will "take a shot" at signing New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto once he becomes a free agent this fall. The Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, and New York Mets are expected to compete with the Yankees for Soto, who is hitting .293/.420/.585 with 37 homers, 96 RBI, a league-leading 110 runs scored, and five stolen bases in eight attempts with the American League East Division leaders, who acquired him in a trade with the San Diego Padres last winter. Fantasy managers can envision a Blue Jays lineup with Soto and Vladimir Guerrero Jr in the middle of the lineup if the Blue Jays can bring in Soto.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto will be the biggest free agent on the market this winter, and ESPN's Jeff Passan writes that high-ranking front office and ownership-level sources think that it will come down to a bidding war between the Yankees and New York Mets. The industry agrees the floor for Soto's next contract will be $500 million. The Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers and Angels could likely afford Soto but are long shots to make a real push. Believe it or not, the four-time All-Star will turn just 26 this October. He's already considered one of the best all-around players of his generation and has excelled in the Bronx, slashing .291/.421/.590 with a 1.012 OPS, a career-high 37 home runs, 95 RBI, five steals and 108 runs scored in 130 games played. It seems hard to believe that the Yankees will let him walk out of the Bronx, and if he does, it might not be to go very far.
New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto socked his career-high 36th home run of the year with five RBI in Wednesday night's blowout win over the visiting Cleveland Guardians in the Bronx. Soto set the new career high with a two-run homer off Guardians left-hander Joey Cantillo to give the Yankees an early 2-0 lead in the first inning, later poking a ball down the left-field line for a bases-clearing double to break the game open and give New York a 7-0 lead in the fourth frame of Wednesday's rout against Cleveland. Over his last 29 games, the 25-year-old perennial All-Star is hitting .321 (36-for-112) with 13 big flies, 10 doubles, 27 RBI, and 31 runs scored.
