Part 5/7:
One of the more striking revelations from Miller was about the finances surrounding Soto's potential contract. He expressed skepticism that the Yankees would extend an offer exceeding $600 million, stating that they are more likely to cap out around $550 million. This figure would effectively remove the Yankees from contention for Soto, allowing other teams, particularly the Mets and Red Sox, to take the lead.
Interestingly, Miller speculated that the Yankees could finish fourth in the sweepstakes for Soto, indicating a significant shift in power dynamics within the league. As teams scramble to extend offers, the urgency of the situation is apparent.
