The Yankees will now scramble and attempt to use some of the money destined for Soto on alternative options.<\/p>\n<p>With Soto joining the Mets, The Athletic\u2019s Chris Kirschner floated seven potential replacement options, but not all of the candidates are sluggers. Kirschner believes the Yankees could double down on the team\u2019s pitching strength in Soto\u2019s absence. One name to watch is Baltimore Orioles four-time All-Star starting pitcher Corbin Burnes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that the Yankees\u2019 offense has taken a significant hit, their focus should shift to solidifying their starting rotation as the best in baseball,\u201d Kirschner wrote in a December 8, 2024, article titled, \u201c7 free agents the Yankees can consider after losing Juan Soto to the Mets.\u201d \u201cSigning Corbin Burnes would give the Yankees, on paper, the most dominant 1-2 punch in the American League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPairing Burnes with Gerrit Cole would create a formidable duo capable of neutralizing even the most potent offenses in the game. A rotation featuring Cole, Burnes, Carlos Rod\u00f3n, Clarke Schmidt and either Rookie of the Year Luis Gil or Nestor Cortes would be downright nasty.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Potential Yankees Target Corbin Burnes Is Projected to Land a 7-Year, $217 Million Contract<\/h2>\n<p>Burnes\u2019 resume means the Orioles star is heading for a sizable payday, but the pitcher\u2019s contract projections vary. The Athletic\u2019s Tim Britton projects Burnes to land a seven-year, $217 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>Spotrac projected Burnes\u2019 market value to be a six-year, $180.8 million contract. If the Yankees do land Burnes, it could open up opportunities for the front office to trade some of the team\u2019s existing pitchers. Former Rookie of the Year Luis Gil would become a potential trade candidate if the Yankees land Burnes, per Kirschner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcquiring Burnes, whom the club has met with via video conference call, could also open the door for the Yankees to trade either Gil or Cortes, potentially addressing lingering needs in the infield or outfield,\u201d Kirschner added. \u201cTrading Gil at the peak of his value could yield a significant return for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Burnes\u2019 resume includes being a four-time All-Star, winning the ERA Title and notching a Cy Young award. The pitcher has won 10 or more games in four straight seasons.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Juan Soto Turned Down the Yankees\u2019 16-Year, $760 Million Contract Offer to Join the Mets: Report<\/h2>\n<p>According to The Athletic\u2019s Patrick Mooney, Will Sammon, Brendan Kuty and Ken Rosenthal, Soto turned down the Yankees despite the club increasing their offer to 16-year, $760 million. In the end, the deep pockets of Mets owner Steve Cohen won out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy late Sunday afternoon, a league source said that negotiations with the Mets had resumed, setting up the crosstown rivals for one final showdown over one of the best players of his generation,\u201d Mooney, Sammon, Kuty and Rosenthal. \u201cBy Sunday evening, Cohen had increased his offer. Around that time, the Yankees were informed they were behind, another league source said. Boras asked for a round of new offers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Yankees went from $712.5 million \u2013 $47.5 million over 15 seasons \u2013 to a 16-year, $760 million proposal.
