Will the most prestigious New York Yankees be able to spend as much money as they want? The New York Yankees will likely open their wallets this winter in a cooler manner than ever before. They will spend 1 trillion won (982 million U.S. dollars).
The Major League Baseball's official website, MLB.com , mentioned the New York Yankees' plan for the free agent market on the 13th (Korea time).
According to this, the New York Yankees have Plan A and Plan B. The biggest difference is whether to sign Soto, the main character of this winter.
The New York Yankees' plan A is to keep Soto. On top of that, they signed contract with first baseman Christian Walker and left-handed relief pitcher Tanner Scott.
If Plan A is successful, the New York Yankees will keep Soto and reinforce the first base and relief team. That is, Walker and Scott will be added to the existing Aaron Judge + Soto lineup.
Walker is a first baseman with outstanding slugging power and top-notch defense. Scott is also a top lefty relief resource that he can use as a closing pitcher.
Soto is the best player in the FA market, with no further explanation needed. He is estimated to hit a contract worth more than $600 million.
Walker, who has been in his 10th year in the Major League, has a batting average of 0.251 and 84 RBIs, 72 runs and 120 hits in 26 home runs, and an on-base percentage of 0.335 OPS of 0.803 in 130 games this season.
He hit 36 and 33 home runs in 2022 and last year, respectively, and has won the Gold Glove in the 토토사이트 National League's first baseman category for the last three consecutive seasons.
Scott also played for the Miami Marlins and San Diego Padres this season with 22 saves and 11 holds and an ERA of 1.75 strikeouts.
The New York Yankees will move on to Plan B if they fail to catch Soto. Walker, Alex Bregman, Scott, and starters will be added.
Bregman is brought in instead of Soto, and the remaining money is used to bring in a starting pitcher. In this case, the strength of the lineup will be weaker than that of Plan A.
If the New York Yankees can operate Plan A, the spending in the FA market is expected to exceed 700 million dollars (about 984.9 billion won) to 1 trillion won.
