Yankees Rumors: Juan Soto Tops Shohei Ohtani Record, Agrees to $31M Contract for 2024

The New York Yankees and outfielder Juan Soto have agreed on a one-year, $31 million deal to avoid arbitration, per Joel Sherman of the New York Post.

Soto's contract is the largest one-year deal for an arbitration-eligible player, per Sherman.

The Yankees acquired Soto, who will be a free agent next offseason, in a seven-player trade with the San Diego Padres last December. The 25-year-old has already made three All-Star teams and won four Silver Slugger awards in his six-year MLB career.
