Yankees News: Juan Soto Open to Signing With Any Team in Free Agency.
New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto isn’t closing any doors.
Soto, who’s set to hit free agency this offseason for the first time in his career, is open to signing anywhere in free agency. Soto has been traded by two different teams in his MLB career — the Washington Nationals and San Diego Padres — but made it clear he doesn’t have a list of teams he won’t sign with.
“We gonna be open to listen to anybody and everybody,” Soto said to reporters on Friday ahead of his first game in San Diego since the offseason trade. “We are not closing any doors. Whoever wants to talk and talk about deals and stuff, I’m open to deal with anybody. I don’t have any problem.”
Soto was specifically asked about the Padres, and made it known that he will not shut them or anyone out in negotiations. However, he also wanted to emphasize the fact that this will be a future issue, and right now, he’s just focused on the present.
“That’s gonna be in the future,” Soto said. “We gonna see if we make it to the future. But right now, I’m focusing on 2024 and I’m part of the Yankees and I’m a Yankee right now throughout the 2024 and my goals are really clear — that is win a championship here.”
