And a November 4\u00a0story from MLB.com Yankees reporter Bryan Hoch\u00a0discussed what the biggest hurdle in bringing Soto back will likely be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_f13pdgojc\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">&#8220;The Yankees would love to bring Soto back, and they\u2019ll likely make a competitive offer, but managing general partner\u00a0Hal Steinbrenner\u00a0has already said that the club\u2019s 2024 payroll was\u00a0&#8216;unsustainable long-term,'&#8221; Hoch wrote. &#8220;Soto seemed to enjoy his year in pinstripes, but if he\u00a0intends to\u00a0score a record-setting deal\u00a0(one report had his target at $700 million), chances are that the Yankees won\u2019t have the top bid on the table.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0xwo84a9u\">The consensus among the baseball community is that Soto&#8217;s signing decision will\u00a0ultimately come down to money, and he doesn&#8217;t seem keen to give the Yankees a hometown discount. Therefore, if New York&#8217;s front office doesn&#8217;t at least match the top offer Soto receives from another team, that might mean he won&#8217;t be a Yankee anymore.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"style_1y6if9u-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_eaz3k7f56\">\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1853486114021249521&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.si.com%2Fmlb%2Fyankees%2Fnews%2Fyankees-biggest-obstacle-in-re-signing-juan-soto-revealed-grant9&amp;sessionId=13488a58669fb4ea56cb1fc2f349003cff517a5c&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1853486114021249521\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_e8jvtf0jo\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">However, given what Soto means to the Yankees&#8217; success, Steinbrenner could backtrack on that initial payroll sentiment. Not to mention that, as Hoch alluded to, &#8220;[The Yankees] do have other money coming off the books. Hill, Holmes, Kahnle, Lo\u00e1isiga, Rizzo, Torres, Trivino and Verdugo account for a total of more than $50 million in 2024 payroll that can be redistributed to fill needs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_d0fh6t7ja\">This added money off the books could afford the Yankees flexibility in structuring Soto&#8217;s contract.
