Yankees Predicted To Stun Red Sox In Bidding War For $200 Million Four-Time All-Star
The New York Yankees’ top offseason priority is to re-sign superstar slugger Juan Soto, but doing so will be expensive. The five-time Silver Slugger is the most coveted free agent and could land a contract similar to Japanese-born sensation Shohei Ohtani’s record-breaking $700 million deal. Soto likely will sign for closer to $600 million. Adding Soto’s salary to the payroll for next season could hinder the Yankees’ spending abilities this winter. However, an expert’s latest prediction puts the Bronx Bombers in an excellent position to land the top hurler on the market. “Corbin Burnes to the Yankees,” MLB.com’s Manny Randhawa wrote Tuesday morning when predicting free agents who could sign with division rivals this offseason. “Yes, the Yankees have 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner Gerrit Cole under contract through 2028, but given the injuries their rotation has suffered the past couple of years — Cole was limited to 17 starts last season and the year before, Carlos Rodón and Nestor Cortes combined for 26 starts — they know more than most that you can never have enough starting pitching.”
