Juan Soto had a fantastic 2024 season with the New York Yankees, batting .288 with 41 home runs and 109 RBIs. However, having entered free agency after the end of the campaign, the Dominican’s future has been a topic of much debate of late.
On Saturday, the popular late-night comedy show “Saturday Night Live” did a hilarious skit on the superstar’s situation, which went viral on X (formerly Twitter) when a clip was posted by Yankees insider Joe Randazzo.
Watch the skit below:
In the skit, the comedian Marcello Hernandez, playing Juan Soto, starts out by saying that he will wait for “the best offer” from the Yankees. When prompted by the Church Lady, portrayed by Dana Carvey, to opt to help the “less fortunate”, Hernandez agrees, saying he might sign with the Mets in that case.
The Yankees ended the season in disappointment, as they were outclassed by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. It is the need of the hour for the Yankees to ensure they keep Juan Soto in the Bronx. However, it is yet to be seen if they eventually manage to pull that off, with other interested franchises also reportedly putting bumper offers on the table.
The New York Mets may offer Juan Soto a deal he can’t refuse, per insider
The New York Mets’ desire to recruit superstar free agent Juan Soto has been well-known for some time now. With the Yankees unable to finalize anything concrete to keep the Dominican at the Bronx as of now, MLB insider Jared Carrabis believes Soto may well be plying his trade in Flushing come the 2025 season.
“This is just my opinion, but my read on the Juan Soto situation is that it’s going to be similar to the Xander Bogaerts situation in that he might prefer another organization’s secondary reasons for signing there, but ultimately the Mets’ money will be too much to say no to,” Carrabis tweeted.
In his tweet, Carrabis draws a parallel between the Soto’s situation and the one Xander Bogaerts found himself following the 2022 season, when he opted out of his contract with the Red Sox to test the waters of free agency. Though other franchises were interested in acquiring the 2-time World Series winner, Bogaerts eventually chose to go to San Diego because of the long-term commitment they were able to offer along with a significant pay package, signing an 11-year, $280 million deal with the Friars.
For ‘super-agent’ Scott Boras, Soto’s free agency has the potential of being perhaps the biggest of his career, and in case the Yankees do not put up a figure that is deemed sufficient, Boras would be happy to listen to more generous offers from their cross-city rivals.
