That\u2019d be a wise decision, as their lineup would look drastically different without Soto.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, replacing the slugger would be nearly impossible. There\u2019s a reason why he\u2019s on pace to become a Hall of Famer one day at just 26 years old. For the Yankees, however, there will be some options for them to pursue.\u00a0Willy Adames\u00a0could be a name to watch, as he\u2019s one of the top hitters on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Buster Olney of ESPN urged the Yankees to sign the middle infielder if they lose Soto.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Soto departs, Willy Adames might be an interesting target, with the Yankees possibly shifting him to third or second, but agents expect that the bidding for Adames is going to be nutty this winter,\u201d\u00a0Olney wrote\u00a0on November 4.<\/p>\n<h2>Adames Could Be Looking at Nearly $200 Million in Offseason<\/h2>\n<p>Most contract predictions for Soto have come in at the $500 to $700 million mark. If it falls between either of those numbers, he\u2019d be a very expensive player to sign for any team. The New York Yankees have the money to do so, but there\u2019s always a scenario where they get outbid.<\/p>\n<p>Adames could be in a similar category regarding them getting outbid, as he\u2019s looking at a potential $200 million deal. If the Yankees are willing to give $600 million to Soto, they might be willing to give $200 to Adames if the left-handed slugger departed during the 2024 offseason.<\/p>\n<p>In Kiley McDaniel of ESPN\u2019s latest prediction, he had Adames coming out with a $189 million deal over seven years, proving the type of player he is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the heels of a strong 2024 season in Milwaukee, Adames has floated to the top of this position player group with Alex Bregman just behind him. Adames is about a year and a half younger than Bregman and also offers more defensive value and in-game power,\u201d\u00a0McDaniel wrote on November 5. \u201cI\u2019d expect something like the Marcus Semien\u00a0deal (seven years, $175 million before the 2022 season) adjusted for inflation for both of them, even though neither player is an exact comp to the Texas infielder on the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere wasn\u2019t a real everyday shortstop in last year\u2019s free agent class, so Adames is the first true shortstop to hit the market since the 2022-23 bonanza that included Carlos Correa,\u00a0Trea Turner,\u00a0Dansby Swanson\u00a0and\u00a0Xander Bogaerts. Interest in Adames will be high because he can fit into a lot of situations, whether it is staying at shortstop or moving to third base for a team already set at the position.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Adames Willing to Change Positions<\/h2>\n<p>While Adames is a better player than current New York Yankees shortstop\u00a0Anthony Volpe, it likely isn\u2019t to the point where they\u2019d want to pay him nearly $190 million. Due to his age, Volpe is on a cheap deal and isn\u2019t arbitration-eligible until 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily for the Yankees,\u00a0Will Sammon and Katie Woo of The Atheltic reported that he\u2019s willing to change positions if needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFree agent Willy Adames wants to stay at shortstop but would be willing to play a different position if he gets a strong offer from a team in position to win, league sources said,\u201d the two wrote on November 5.<\/p>\n<p>With\u00a0Gleyber Torres potentially leaving in the winter, the Yankees could slide Adames over to second base, as his bat would be the biggest piece to signing him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GettyBrian Cashman smiling after winning the American League Championship Series The\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0might cast a wide net for players depending on what\u00a0Juan Soto\u00a0does in free agency.
