Yankees, Juan Soto need to figure out way to make long-term deal happen
NY Post
Calm down, everyone. Everything’s going to be all right, people.
At least for today, it is.
Juan Soto was diagnosed with only inflammation in his left forearm/elbow after a mid-day MRI exam, as The Post first reported. Soto is considered “day-to-day.” Even better, the city seems to have weathered its collective coronary.
It doesn’t take any fancy diagnostic to know the boroughs did not take well the news that Soto was experiencing forearm discomfort. Folks in area codes 212, 646, 516, 718, 201 and 914 were acting like the world was ending, or at least the season was on the brink.
Which brings us to the real issue here, and that is the Yankees and Soto have to figure a way to make this marriage a more permanent one.
It’s surely best for the Yankees if Soto stays. And it says here it is probably best for Soto, too. Maybe that’s the New Yorker in me talking, but is there somewhere else that fits this perfectly? Fuhgettaboutit!
