However, according to MLB insider Randy Miller of NJ.com reports the Yankees offer will top out at $550 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m hearing the Yankees will probably top out in the $550 (million) range,\u201d Miller said. \u201cI believe Soto has two and maybe three offers already over $600 (million). I haven\u2019t confirmed that, but that\u2019s what I believe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the Yankees\u2019 offer is indeed in the $550 million range as Miller reports, it won\u2019t be enough to get the star outfielder to re-sign.<\/p>\n<p>Miller also reports that there are several offers over $600 million, which should rule the Yankees out from re-signing him. He also claims the Boston Red Sox\u2019s offer to Soto is concerning to New York.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m hearing the Yankees fear the Red Sox more than anyone,\u201d\u00a0Miller said\u00a0\u201cI think the Mets are definitely in play and the Red Sox are in play. And I don\u2019t think he\u2019s going to the Yankees.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Insider Claims Yankees Have Upped Their Offer<\/h2>\n<p>Although Miller claims the Yankees aren\u2019t going past $550 million for Soto, fellow MLB insider Lee Hamilton disagreed.<\/p>\n<p>Hamilton claimed the Yankees\u2019 offer to Soto was for $41 million per season with opt-outs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was told the Yankees have upped their offer for Juan Soto,\u201d Hamilton said. \u201cI was told the offer is $41 million per year. Which pays him more than Aaron Judge got. I was also told the Yankees have considered Soto\u2019s request to include opt-out clauses in his contract after the fifth year, sixth year, and seventh year. Moreover, if Soto wants to test free agency at age 31, he could always opt-out after the fifth year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of where Soto signs, he will have multiple opt-outs in his deal.<\/p>\n<p>Soto is a four-time All-Star. Last season with New York, he hit .288 with 41 home runs and 109 RBIs.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Yankees Want to Re-Sign Soto<\/h2>\n<p>New York is focused on re-signing Soto in free agency.<\/p>\n<p>The team met with Soto and Scott Boras in California and Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said the goal is to re-sign him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur fans really enjoyed having him in New York,\u201d Steinbrenner said. \u201cHe\u2019s definitely a significant part of why we got to the World Series. I\u2019ve got ears. I know what\u2019s expected of me. So, look, it\u2019s been a priority. We wouldn\u2019t have gone out to the West Coast if it wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even if the Yankees don\u2019t re-sign Soto, Steinbrenner believes the team is in a good spot to land other free agents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re in a better starting position than we were a year ago. There\u2019s no doubt about that,\u201d Steinbrenner said. \u201cLook, year after year after year after year, payrolls similar to this year and the luxury taxes they produce are not sustainable. That\u2019s the case for the vast majority of owners, maybe all of them. Year after year after year \u2014 it doesn\u2019t mean in any given year I can\u2019t do what I want to do. I mean, we\u2019ve got the ability to sign any player we want to sign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York lost in the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Cole Shelton Cole Shelton covers the NHL and MLB for Heavy.com.
