Derek Jeter “if the New York Y signed Soto” SD Seller declaration?

Would the New York Yankees, who are chasing a wild-card berth against all odds, fill the injury void left by Aaron Judge (31) with the acquisition of Juan Soto (25)? A Soto trade has been mentioned.

MLB.com, the official website of Major League Baseball, reported on the 13th (KST) that “legend” Derek Jeter wants Soto to move to the Yankees.

This means that the Yankees would like Soto to fill the void in center field, but only if San Diego declares him a seller.

San Diego is 43-47 in the first half of the season with a .478 winning percentage and is in fourth place in the National League West. They are 8.5 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers.

They are also six games out of the third wild card spot, the San Francisco Giants. A postseason berth is slowly slipping away.

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that San Diego could declare a seller despite their massive payroll. They could try to rebuild their team by acquiring prospects.토토사이트

The New York Yankees could add Soto to their anemic offense, which ranks 19th in team runs scored and 21st in OPS.

However, the price tag for Soto would be very high. Soto is not a half-year rental. He’s a free agent after the 2024 season.

And while his performance has declined from his days with the Nationals, he’s still highly valuable. Expect a significant hemorrhage.

Soto hit .265 with 15 home runs, 47 RBIs, 51 runs scored, 82 runs batted in, a .419 OPS, and an .898 slugging percentage in 90 games this first half.

It will be interesting to see if Soto can fill the void left by Jeter, who led the New York Yankees to their glory days in the late 1990s.
