It seems that Juan Soto, his agent, and the Yankees are willing to work on a new contract during this season before he reaches free agency.
If you ran the Yankees, what would your best offer to Soto be?

2years at $ 44mm. 4mm annually deferred.
2 years at $38mm. 4mm annually deferred.
That’s 13 years for a total face value of…
