Around the Empire: Yankees news - 12/9/24
Briefly

Juan Soto has signed a remarkable 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, including a $75 million signing bonus and a fifth-year opt-out that could elevate the overall agreement to $805 million. This development signifies a shift in power within Major League Baseball and reflects the financial capabilities of the Mets, leaving other potential suitors like the Yankees with mixed feelings after their 16-year, $760 million bid.
As the Yankees focus on enhancements, infield positions remain a pressing matter. Their interest in Thairo Estrada, a player familiar to Yankees fans after his previous stint, reveals their urgency. With a depleted roster of experienced infielders, the Yankees' strategy appears to prioritize flexibility and potential rather than seeking a fit for any specific role.
