The MLB Winter Meetings have sparked intense speculation around the pursuit of Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto. Ohtani has met with several teams, including the Dodgers and Blue Jays, with rumors of offers nearing $600 million. The Angels are reportedly confident about retaining Ohtani despite the high price tag. Meanwhile, the Yankees are actively pursuing Soto, with talks intensifying between New York and San Diego. The acquisition of Alex Verdugo by the Yankees has not precluded their interest in Soto. The potential lineup for the Yankees postulates Soto's addition. The ongoing negotiations and rumors have captivated the baseball world, with fans and insiders closely following the developments.

Acquisition of Alex Verdugo doesn’t preclude Juan Soto for the Yankees but it should preclude Trent Grisham, who was in Padres’ 1st offer to NYY. Yanks like Verdugo’s .264 BA (and 100 OPS). Can’t take yet another sub .200 hitter (Grisham .198) to add to their collection.
