The New York Yankees newest superstar has been as good as advertised this season.
recently gave each team one reason to be excited so far from the 2024 season, and for New York it was Soto.
While it might seem like a given that a three-time All Star would still be performing at a high level, not every team has gotten so lucky with their new additions. For the Yankees, though, the trade has been almost better than they could have asked for. Through his first 25 games in New York, he has six home runs and 22 RBIs while maintaining a .995 OBS. He is currently the odds-on favorite to win the AL MVP Award for 2024, slightly edging out Kansas City Royals star Bobby Witt Jr.
Among players with at least 100 at-bats, he is fourth in the league in expected wOBA. That means that he's not just getting lucky at the plate, he has just been dominant. Among the top five, he also has the lowest strikeout and highest walk rates. When New York traded for Soto, they agreed on a one-year deal worth $31 million. He'll become unrestricted free agent for the 2025 free agency class.New York Yankees' Legend Jorge Posada Dishes on Career, Baseball and Acting in a Miller Lite Commercial
