New York Yankees\u00a0superstar Juan Soto is going to make a lot of money once he becomes an unrestricted free agent this offseason.<\/p>\n

It’s unknown whether it will be the Yankees or some other MLB team that signs him. But what’s for sure is that if Soto’s contract doesn’t surpass the 10-year, $700 million deal that Shohei Ohtani signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season, it’s going to come closer than any other MLB contract ever has.<\/p>\n

There has been some\u00a0speculation and rumors about how much money\u00a0the Yankees should be willing to give Soto.<\/p>\n

But in an October 10\u00a0article, the New York Post’s Jon Heyman\u00a0refuted one rumor that has surfaced about the Yankees’ impending offer to the 25-year-old.<\/p>\n

“The rumor that the Yankees will\u00a0cap their final Juan Soto offer at $40 million annually\u00a0because they can\u2019t offend Aaron Judge (who makes $40M) is a lie,’ according to a person familiar with their thinking. ‘No one has ever said anything like that,’ the person added. (Beyond that, Judge, a team guy, wants the team to be great,)” Heyman wrote in the article.<\/p>\n

“The Yankees are going to make a big Soto effort, and one higher-up guesses the biggest competition comes from the Mets, Giants and Jays.”<\/p>\n

Heyman doesn’t illustrate where this rumor stemmed from, nor who may be spreading it. But it’s no surprise that Judge isn’t getting greedy about making more money than his teammate.<\/p>\n

If Soto gets the\u00a0$600 million contract one of his friends\u00a0suggested he’s seeking from New York this offseason, that means the Yankees will have given him and Judge contracts that amount to just under $1 billion combined.<\/p>\n

And that might be a bargain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
