– If the New York Yankees don’t re-sign Juan Soto, one back-up plan floating around is signing free-agent first baseman Christian Walker, sign either Willy Adames or Alex Bregman to play third, shift Jazz Chisholm to second base, trade for Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger, and then use the extra money to sign Burnes, Fried or Snell.

As MLB free agency continues, one of the biggest names on the market could get closer to landing a new deal soon. Per ESPN's Buster Olney, New York

Over 157 games in pinstripes, Soto hit .288 while notching career-highs in home runs (41) and runs (128). He was an All-Star, Silver Slugger, and came in third for AL MVP voting. His teammate, Aaron Judge, took home the award. Soto has also played for the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres.
