Soto debuts at camp, with Yankees tenure beyond 2024 all but clear

TAMPA, Fla. -- On his first official day in camp, Juan Soto walked into George M. Steinbrenner Field, the sun barely up over the horizon, flashed a big smile and told the New York Yankees' social media account, "I have a great feeling."

Based on the comments on Instagram, Yankees fans agree.

They're also making demands: Make Soto a Yankee for life and give him an extension before he reaches free agency at the end of the season.

That remains an unlikely scenario, however, as for now Soto says he's focusing on 2024 -- and decidedly noncommittal about his long-term future.
