Yankees have no Juan Soto regrets after going ‘above and beyond’ comfort level in sweepstakes
NY Post
DALLAS — In the face of their biggest offseason loss in recent memory, the Yankees have no regrets.
No regrets with the decision to trade for Juan Soto ahead of his walk season.
No regrets with a year in which Soto sure seemed content in what was hailed by all involved as an unusually happy clubhouse.
No regrets from a meeting in Southern California with Soto and agent Scott Boras that people from both parties say went well.
No regrets from an escalating, blind auction for Soto’s services that ended with an offer that, in total money, came just $5 million short.
The bidding “took us to heights that I never would have expected,” GM Brian Cashman said at the Winter Meetings on Monday, a day after the Mets won the Soto tug-of-war. “Hal Steinbrenner really stepped up to find a way to retain Juan Soto. I’m really proud of his efforts — certainly went well beyond what I would’ve expected.”
