10/05/24	Juan Soto's free agency looms over his Yankees playoff debut with special season 'as advertised'. Juan Soto's first — and perhaps only — season in pinstripes has been all the Yankees could have asked for… so far. He has had his best full year at the plate and his presence in the lineup helped turn around a Yankees offense and provided a threat in front of Aaron Judge during Judge's historic season. All that will be remembered, but Soto's legacy as a Yankee will be defined significantly by what happens in October — and there's no guarantee Soto will see another one in The Bronx as he heads toward free agency for the first time. 3 Juan Soto helped the Yankees clinch the AL East title.

10/04/24	Yankees sense Juan Soto loving N.Y. with free agency looming. NEW YORK -- Before the Yankees swing into the postseason in the American League Division Series, New York manager Aaron Boone downplayed the magnitude of the moment in front of slugger Juan Soto. The sidekick to Aaron Judge, Soto is on the precipice of free agency at the ripe age of 25 and coming off of a 41-homer, 109-RBI season with the Yankees.

10/02/24	Blockbuster Trade Proposal Lands Cardinals $87 Million Star With Padres. The San Diego Padres took a massive step forward after a down year in 2023. San Diego finished the 2023 campaign with 82 wins, shined this season, and finished the regular season with 93 wins despite no longer having superstar slugger Juan Soto on the roster. The Padres seem like a real option to win the World Series this season, and yet they likely will look to add this winter.

10/01/24	Braves Fan 15 Times in 4-0 Playoff Loss to San Diego. King made his postseason debut with the New York Yankees in the AL playoff bubble in 2020 at eerily empty Petco Park, where the only “fans” were a few thousand cardboard cutouts. The right-hander came over in the blockbuster trade that sent Juan Soto to the Yankees on Dec. 7. The Braves clinched a playoff berth by winning the second game of a makeup doubleheader against the New York Mets on Monday in Atlanta. Source: https://www.wdef.com/braves-fan-15-times-in-4-0-pl...
9/28/24	Cross-Town Rival Won't go to 'Nutty Numbers' For Superstar; Could Mets Outbid?. In about six weeks, superstar outfielder Juan Soto will hit the free agent market for the first time in his career and is expected to draw a historic long-term deal. While Soto has had a superb year in his first season with the New York Yankees, it remains to be seen whether they will be able to retain him. The New York Mets and billionaire Steve Cohen certainly have the funds to lure Soto away from the Bronx by making themselves the highest bidder for his services. “We don't know really what's in Soto's heart — does he really want to stay with the Yankees, or like a lot of players, and by the way, this is totally their prerogative, some players equate money for respect," ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney told Pinstripe Territory earlier in the week.

9/28/24	MLB insider names NL powerhouse among biggest threats to sign Yankees' superstar. The New York Yankees are gearing up for the postseason, but much of the outside attention will focus on the Juan Soto sweepstakes in free agency. There have been a handful of teams linked as potential suitors for Soto as the winter approaches and while the Yankees are still considered the favorites to land the superstar, they won't be without competition. Most expect it to be a two-team race between the Yankees and New York Mets for Soto's services and while Jon Heyman of The New York Post agrees, he also mentioned another powerhouse team who could be a threat to bring Soto out of New York.

9/27/24	Yankees Rival's Path to Signing Juan Soto Made Clearer. The New York Yankees have got to be feeling good right now. This means that New York's fans can relax and enjoy watching their clearly confident ballclub play three essentially meaningless home games against the Pittsburgh Pirates this weekend as the regular season wraps up. While this may be the last thing Yankees fans want to think about right now, superstar slugger Juan Soto's impending free agency is approaching with each passing day. The good news about this is that the Yankees are widely considered the favorite to sign him. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/news/yankees-rival-...
9/26/24	Yankees won't go to 'nutty numbers' for Juan Soto, insider says. Juan Soto is about six weeks away from becoming a free agent — when all the rumors and speculation about his long-term home and huge payday will begin to get more real. One MLB insider has some doubts. “We don't know really what's in Soto's heart — does he really want to stay with the Yankees, or like a lot of players, and by the way, this is totally their prerogative, some players equate money for respect,” ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney said Sept. 25 on Pinstripe Territory.

9/25/24	Padres Insider Offers Harsh Critique of 2023 Team. The 2024 San Diego Padres are in many ways the team they wanted to be a season ago. After the Padres advanced to the National League Championship Series in 2022, they had high hopes for what they could accomplish in 2023 with a full season of Juan Soto on the team. Instead the Padres flamed out and finished the season 82-80. The team traded Soto to the New York Yankees, and Bob Melvin departed to become the manager of the San Francisco Giants.

9/24/24	Yankees' Aaron Judge issues blunt take on Gleyber Torres' baserunning blunder. The New York Yankees (92-65) were hoping to celebrate their 21st American League East title on Tuesday, but missed opportunities in a 5-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles (87-70) will keep the champagne in storage for at least one more night. Juan Soto smashed a base-hit to right field to bring the Yankees within one run in the seventh inning. Anthony Santander threw the ball to home plate to keep Torres from scoring, which in turn emboldened Soto to take second base. As the Orioles attempted to make the star pay for his aggressiveness (he was safe), Torres got an itch and started running off. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/yankees-news-aaron-judge-...
9/24/24	Yankees great CC Sabathia gives his thoughts on Juan Soto returning in free agency: 'Must-have on both sides'. The New York Yankees are entering the homestretch of the 2024 regular-season having already clinched a postseason berth, and they need just one win against the Baltimore Orioles to secure the AL East title. It has been a tremendous season for New York, but of course, the job is not finished yet as they search for that elusive 28th World Series title. The Yankees appear to be a hot team at the right time, but the reality of their situation in terms of Juan Soto is that his guaranteed days in pinstripes are dwindling.

9/22/24	Juan Soto passes movement test in return to Yankees' starting lineup. OAKLAND, Calif. — A day after leaning into his flair for the dramatic with a clutch pinch-hit double in the 10th inning, Juan Soto made his return to the Yankees lineup on Saturday — and stayed in it. Soto had been a late scratch from Friday's lineup because of a swollen left knee from making a sliding catch into the wall on Thursday, but came through his pinch-hit cameo well enough to be back in the lineup a day later, going 2-for-6 and scoring a pair of runs in the 10-0 win over the A's . Perhaps even more encouraging than his two hits was how Soto was moving, getting up the line quickly while trying to beat out a ground ball in the fourth inning.

9/21/24	Dream Chicago Cubs Target 'Might Cost $500 Million' in Free Agency. There have been conflicting reports about the Chicago Cubs' interest in New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto. There's no debating the type of talent Soto has, as he's arguably a top-three hitter in the sport. When factoring in that he's only 25 years old, there might not be a more valuable player outside of Shohei Ohtani in the Big Leagues. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/dream-chicago-cub...
