With the Yankees still grieving their World Series loss and a scrum of reporters peppering Juan Soto about his future, the free-agent superstar insisted that a chance to win will be one of his top priorities when determining his future.

It’s hard to do, to put together that magic of a championship run, but behind every great magician obviously is the magic Juan.”Ohtani agreed to his 10-year contract late last year and helped lead the team to its second World Series title in five years.

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen is scheduled to meet with free-agent outfielder Juan Soto and Soto's agent, Scott Boras, next week in Southern California, according to the New York Post. Soto and Boras are expected to meet with other owners and braintrust groups between now and whenever Soto makes his decision.

Yankees free agent outfielder Juan Soto will be seeking a 15-year contract for at least $600 million ... and maybe more than the mostly-deferred $700-million deal that Shohei Ohtani received last winter.

Cashman said he spoke Monday with Boras at the general managers meetings and revealed he had a conversation with Soto after the season, which ended with the Yankees losing the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.

Juan Soto is—by far—the biggest name to hit the open market this MLB offseason. As teams prepare to break the bank for the 26-year-old superstar, agent Scott Boras outlined to reporters Wednesday exactly what Soto is looking for as he makes his decision this offseason.
