On Sunday, New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman submitted a historic contract offer for Juan Soto, but he later learned that Soto chose to sign with the New York Mets for a 15-year, $765 million deal. Cashman praised Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner for his efforts to retain Soto, who had a stellar season with the Yankees.

With Soto's departure, the Yankees are exploring other options, including potential trades and free-agent signings, to bolster their roster for the upcoming season.
