Juan Soto's impact on the New York Yankees has been significant, justifying the offseason excitement surrounding his acquisition. The team's 5-0 start is attributed in part to Soto leading the lineup. Soto's decision to turn down a $440 million offer from the Nationals has positioned him for a potentially record-breaking free-agent payday, with expectations of a deal comparable to Shohei Ohtani's.

The criticism from turning down the Nationals' $440M offer bothered Juan Soto. He's about seven months from a free-agent payday that given his age and his skills could reset the market. Soto made a historic bet on himself. Now, he seems primed to cash in. ✍️ @Britt_Ghiroli
The Yankees know this dance. A superstar on the roster enters a contract year with no extension in sight. Juan Soto could have millions — maybe hundreds of millions — more on the line than Aaron Judge did. The Pulse ⤵️ https://t.co/KBRWSyxY9L
