Brian Cashman says losing Juan Soto won’t push Yankees to spend like ‘drunken sailors’
A year after acquiring Juan Soto in a trade with the San Diego Padres – 368 days to be exact – and with a trip to the World Series in between, the Yankees lost the prized superstar slugger in free agency to the Mets. One day after it was reported that the 26-year-old phenomenon exchanged The Bronx for Queens on a 15-year, $765 million deal, Yanks general manager Brian Cashman said he had no regret about the deal that brought Soto to New York or how the process went in losing him. “I just would say, [owner Hal Steinbrenner] went above and beyond to try to find a way to keep Juan Soto in pinstripes,” Cashman said Monday at MLB's Winter Meetings, via MLB.com.
