Juan Soto reminds Yankees of pricey free agency reality after major milestone
NY Post
SEATTLE — Juan Soto’s milestone home run came with a dash of reality.
As he finished off his home run tour of all 30 active ballparks in the Yankees win over the Mariners on Tuesday night, Soto sent a reminder of what’s coming this offseason.
“So many different ballparks, so many different dimensions,” Soto said. “I just want to get all of them checked [off].
“What a best way to go into free agency with homers in all 30 ballparks, checking my list.”
The Yankees hope there will be plenty more to come from Soto in their uniform, though they are guaranteed only the remaining 11 games of the regular season and however long they last in October.
After that — despite Hal Steinbrenner saying in May he wanted to explore an extension with the superstar, which always seemed unlikely to come to fruition — Soto is set to hit the open market, where his price tag is expected to soar over $500 million.
