Sometimes, as the saying goes, the best deals are the ones you don’t make. It’s a small sample size and very early in the process, but so far, the New York Yankees are fortunate to have not signed Juan Soto.

Last week, following Soto's return to Yankee Stadium as a member of the Mets, Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay revealed that Soto actually wanted to re-sign with the Yankees in the offseason, but his family convinced him otherwise.

Aaron Judge outlined his ongoing pitch efforts to potential New York Yankees targets in free agency, but it's clear he did not do enough to appease Juan Soto.
