Hope is the strongest emotion, especially during times of uncertainty. Who knows it better than the New York Yankees fans as they witness the dynasty that is no longer the force it once was? Still, the Yankee Nation never ceases to stop believing in their team, in hopes that maybe this year will be different. This year it’s Juan Soto who has filled the hearts of the Pinstripes with belief, but alas! This union currently stands on wobbly ground. 

Even though Soto has officially become a Yankee, this is just for one year. Next year, the Childish Bambino enters free agency and it certainly will be an expensive one. But even then, the Bronx Faithful are positive and have made their feelings known regarding what they think is the worth of Juan Soto. 

The free agency of Juan Soto – A sword that hangs over the Yankees

Ever since the Yankees traded for Juan Soto, they have known in their hearts that this union isn’t permanent. Soto might be a Yankee, but he could very well be a guest, a temporary player, basically a rental! Though this has certainly given the Yankees an edge over the competition as they have a whole year to sell their operation to Soto, the truth of the matter is – the union is on shallow grounds. So what will the free agency of Soto cost? Somewhere around $500 million?

Most reports have predicted that Soto’s free agency could possibly touch that number. There are strong reasons to believe they could be right, especially because Soto is already earning a $31 million salary this year. Is there a reason to believe he won’t at least try to match that next year? 

And at just 26, he’d probably get a long-term contract, and he has already rejected a 15 year, $440 million offer from the Washington Nationals. So, a big deal is all but guaranteed here. The fun part? The Yankees fans already know this. But they’re ready to go all in on the La Fiera!
