Juan Soto, the Washington Nationals’ star outfielder, recently discussed the possibility of joining the New York Yankees in 2024. Although he has yet to sign a long-term deal with the Nationals, Soto expressed his interest in playing for the Yankees.
Soto, who is only 21 years old, has already established himself as one of the best players in Major League Baseball. He is a two-time All-Star and was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2018. He has also won two Silver Slugger Awards and is a two-time NL batting champion.
The Yankees have been interested in Soto for some time, but the Nationals have been hesitant to commit to a long-term deal with him. This has led to speculation that Soto could be on the move in 2024 when he becomes a free agent.
Soto recently addressed the possibility of joining the Yankees in an interview with ESPN. He said, “I’m not sure what’s going to happen in the future, but I’m open to any possibility. I’m just focused on playing baseball and helping my team win. But if the opportunity arises, I’d definitely consider it.”
Soto’s comments have sparked speculation that he could be the Yankees’ next big signing. However, it remains to be seen if the Yankees will be willing to commit to a long-term deal with Soto. The team has already invested heavily in other players, such as Gerrit Cole and Giancarlo Stanton, and may not be willing to make another big commitment.
Regardless of what happens in the future, it is clear that Soto is one of the most talented players in baseball. His comments about potentially joining the Yankees have only increased the excitement surrounding his future. It will be interesting to see if he ultimately decides to join the Yankees or if he remains with the Nationals.
