Juan Soto’s looming payday now expected to be $600 million
NY Post
The whisper number for Juan Soto now is $600 million.
Word was that he would have eclipsed that with beloved late Padres owner Peter Seidler. And now Soto added his best full regular season, showed he can thrive in New York and reaffirmed the belief he’s a postseason player.

Aaron Boone seems likely for an extension now, with the Yankees close to making it to the World Series. They were the best team in the AL, but he caught a break drawing two AL Central teams.
The playoffs are a crapshoot, but not when the Yankees play the Central (it should be seven straight series wins for the Yanks; it feels like forever since the Tigers knocked them out three times).
The Yankees were 24-7 vs. Central teams during the regular season, and if they beat Cleveland that’ll be 7-0 vs. the Central in October since 2017 in an era when they didn’t exactly dominate the playoffs.

Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
