The 25-year-old has continued to impress in the postseason, only raising his price.<\/p>\n<p>The Yankees will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, and if Soto has a few big moments, that price might only go up.<\/p>\n<p>The question regarding his free agency will be centered around how much money he could get.<\/p>\n<p>According to Brittany Ghiroli of The Athletic, Soto\u2019s camp wants to break Shohei Ohtani\u2019s record-breaking deal. However, she added that it \u201cseems like a pipe dream\u201d unless he\u2019s willing to take deferrals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMultiple people told\u00a0<em>The Athletic<\/em>\u00a0this spring\u00a0they believe Soto\u2019s camp is after\u00a0Shohei Ohtani\u2019s record-breaking deal. Ohtani\u2019s contract included 97 percent deferrals, but still put his present-day average annual value at roughly $43.78 million, or closer to $46 million when calculated for luxury tax purposes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoto, making $31 million in his final arbitration year, could easily eclipse both those numbers and set a new record, though Ohtani\u2019s overall number of $700 million still seems like a pipe dream unless Soto is willing to accept heavy deferrals. (It\u2019s worth noting that it\u2019s not unheard of for Scott Boras clients to accept heavy deferrals,\u201d Ghiroli wrote on October 22. \u201cSoto\u2019s former teammate Max Scherzer signed a seven-year, $210 million deal before the 2015 season that had record deferrals at the time.)\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Yankees Playoff Run Might Not Play a Factor in Soto\u2019s Decision<\/h2>\n<p>Winning often solves everything, as players of Soto\u2019s status want rings. The New York Yankees have a player who could be among the best in Major League Baseball history one day in Soto, and winning multiple World Series would help him reach those heights.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to Ghiroli, if the decision comes between the Yankees and New York Mets, she doesn\u2019t see a scenario where a couple more wins in the playoffs is a factor in him landing with the Yankees instead of the Mets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn finally getting to pick his team, Soto isn\u2019t signing up to lose for the foreseeable future \u2014 I don\u2019t think the Miami Marlins\u00a0or\u00a0Chicago White Sox\u00a0could pay him enough, even if both very unlikely suitors decided to. But the other team expected to be a major player for Soto, the Steve Cohen-owned\u00a0New York Mets? Well, they just had a heck of a run, finishing two wins shy of playing the Yankees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSoto loves New York; he has family in the area and his parents can easily fly from the Dominican Republic to stay with him,\u201d Ghiroli wrote. \u201cIf it truly is a two-team race for Soto\u2019s services \u2014 and with him preferring the East Coast and the big money involved, it very well could be \u2014 it\u2019s tough to imagine a scenario where a few more October wins play a tangible role in distinguishing the Yankees from the Mets.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Yankees Will Focus on Task on Hand<\/h2>\n<p>Before the New York Yankees front office can think about Soto\u2019s free agency, they have to take care of the opportunity they have in the World Series.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first time the Yankees have made the World Series since 2009, a surprise for an organization that\u2019s found the success they have.<\/p>\n<p>While focusing on the goal needs to be their priority, it\u2019s tough to ignore that this could be their best chance of winning a World Series in the foreseeable future. If Soto were to leave in free agency, the Yankees likely wouldn\u2019t be as good of a team next year.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Conahan covers the NBA and NFL for Heavy.com.
