The Yankees missed out on retaining Juan Soto in free agency, as the superstar outfielder landed with the Mets on a 15-year, $765 million deal a few days ago. The Yankees' final offer was a reported $760 million over 16 years,

Brian Cashman said he has “no regrets” with how the Juan Soto negotiations played out and doesn’t think the Yankees could have done anything differently. He also said that he does not believe Soto’s request for a suite, nor a reported issue with club security, played any part.…

Another story said that Soto was allegedly upset early in the 2024 season over an issue with a Yankees security guard. According to the Post’s Heyman, the guard restricted a member of Soto’s family and his chef/driver from certain areas, and the Mets were aware of the incident when they met with the superstar.
