Juan Soto was one of the last New York Yankees players to leave the dugout after the team lost the World Series in a 7-6 Game 5 defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

In the biggest of moments, the Yankees couldn\u2019t deliver, and now Soto could be looking for his next team amid rampant speculation over his future.<\/p>\n

Soto\u2019s teammates and coaches have made their opinion clear: \u201cStay with us,\u201d Giancarlo Stanton said in a postgame media session. But Soto, who joined the Yankees this past December, is primed to test free agency this offseason.<\/p>\n

The star slugger was asked if he expected the New York Mets to pursue him in free agency, and he gave a telling response.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t know what\u2019s the teams that are going to come after me,\u201d Soto said. \u201cBut definitely, I\u2019ll be open to this and every single team. I don\u2019t have any doors closed or anything like that. I\u2019m gonna be available for all 30 teams.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not a good indication of his chances of staying in the Bronx.<\/p>\n

Soto, 26, helped the Yankees reach their first World Series since 2009, slashing .288\/.419\/.569 with 41 homers and a league-leading 128 runs during the regular season. He’s reportedly expected to earn a contract in excess of $500 million.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the Yankees\u2019 crushing World Series loss, Soto elaborated on his time with the team and discussed whether the Yankees had an advantage in his upcoming free agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeaving any place that is a winning team is always hard. This place was really special. It\u2019s been a blast for me. I’ve been really happy,\u201d Soto said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like every team has the same opportunities when I go into free agency. I don\u2019t want to say anyone has an advantage because at the end of the day we\u2019re gonna look at what they have and how much they want me,\u201d continued Soto.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
