The Juan Soto sweepstakes are very much alive and well, and reports have suggested the superstar slugger could sign before the Winter Meetings, which take place Dec. 8-12. The New York Yankees remain in the mix and reportedly upped their offer after their first attempt.

With Clay Holmes likely on his way out due to him being on the free agency market and having a rough ending with the Yankees, adding an arm like Jansen makes sense. While Luke Weaver was excellent for the Yankees as a closer in his short stint, Jansen has more experience, which New York might favor.

Juan Soto’s great performances during the 2024 MLB playoffs for the Yankees did not go unnoticed and big money is being lined up for his services.
