Yankees Snag Juan Soto

Maryanna Corozzo '26

Juan Soto is a 25 year old male playing in the MLB. He was recently traded to the Yankees as part of a blockbuster trade with the Padres. He has previously played for the Washington Nationals and the San Diego Padres. Soto joined the MLB in 2015 and has been thriving in the league since.

On Wednesday, December 6, the news came out that Juan Soto would be heading to the Yankees as their newest outfielder. Soto was traded for Trent Grisham. Soto is said to be a special hitter with the potential to transform an offense. He is projected to make about $33 million dollars. The Yankees needed a new line up, and Soto will hopefully give them the help they need.
