Will Blake Snell, who won last year's Cy Young Award but is yet to sign, wear a pinstrip uniform with the help of a former colleague?
John Hayman of the New York Post reported on the 28th (Korea time) that Juan Soto, who wore a new New York Yankees uniform, mentioned Snell.
As a result, Soto strongly asked the club to recruit Snell. The problem is that the New York Yankees and Snell recently met, but there was no significant result.
Previously, Snell rejected the New York Yankees' five-year, $150 million offer. According to reports, Snell's request is worth a total of $270 million.
However, no club can afford Snell this amount of money. Snell is a left-handed starter who has won two Cy Young Awards. However, except for the Cy Young season, he only got ordinary results.
As a result, despite winning the Cy Young Award last year, it has not been very popular. It was in this situation that Soto's support emerged.
Soto is a prospective free agent. The New York Yankees could be forced to sign Snell for Soto's contract, which he has one year left in the free agent period.
Of course, even if the New York Yankees catch Snell, we can't be 100% sure that Soto will stay. As a result, the New York Yankees are likely to face a major difficulty.
Meanwhile, Cody Bellinger, who has the same agent as Snell, recently signed a three-year, $80 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, effectively opting for free agency again.
As a result, it is highly expected that Snell will also sign a contract on the condition of opt-out, effectively opting to re-enter the free agent .안전놀이터
