Yankees GM Brian Cashman is in FULL PLAN B mode. Earlier today, the Yankees made a massive trade to acquire RP Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for SP Nestor Cortes Jr., INF Caleb Durbin and cash. The Yankees finally get bullpen relief and get one of the best in baseball.

The Soto Sweepstakes have ended, and now the Yankees could focus on Plan B. Rumors were circulating for weeks saying this plan included names like SP Max Fried, SP Corbin Burnes, 1B Cody Bellinger, OF Teoscar Hernandez, and many more names. The Yankees have done their due diligence with these players but now have to make offers and official signings. Now is not the time to crawl into a cave and wait for chips to start falling.

Mets Owner Steve Cohen has FINALLY got his guy. The Mets have agreed to terms with free agent Juan Soto to a historic record-breaking contract for 15 years, $765M, with an annual value of $51M. It is the richest contract ever given to a player, beating Shohei Ohtani’s 10-year, $700M contract from last offseason. After a back-and-forth bidding war with primarily the New York Yankees, the Mets beat their crosstown rivals for the marquee free agent.

After one of the most highly anticipated Yankee season’s in recent memory, the Yankees find themselves in a crucial offseason looking to improve from their World Series collapse. It was the team’s first World Series appearance since 2009, and it ended with Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” playing while the Los Angeles celebrated a championship win at Yankees Stadium.
