The fans are right. The Yankees absolutely should re-sign Soto in the offseason. Through his age 25 season, Soto is a 4x All-Star, HR Derby Champ, 2019 World Series champion, and a 4x Silver Slugger. He’s quietly hit 41 home runs this season, if that’s possible, and has now led the club to their first World Series appearance in 14 years.
The chant echoed through Progressive Field, resonating with a mixture of hope and demand. Soto, who is in the final year of his contract, delivered a performance that underscored his critical role in the Yankees’ lineup. His seventh-pitch high fastball deep into center field silenced the home crowd but fueled the fervor of the Yankees’ fans, ending the game at a 5-2 victory and securing a 4-1 series triumph.
For the Guardians, the defeat was a continuation of their postseason woes against the Yankees, a narrative of heartbreak that has persisted since Aaron Judge’s rookie year in 2017. Despite entering the playoffs with strong records and high hopes in recent years, the Guardians have repeatedly found their aspirations dashed by the Yankees, making this loss another chapter in their storied rivalry.
Yankees advance to the Fall Classic for the first time since Obama was President
The Yankees’ journey to this year’s World Series is marked by strategic moves, including the acquisition of Soto, whose towering presence and pivotal hits have revitalized the team’s offensive prowess. Alongside Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, Soto has helped form a formidable trio capable of altering the course of games with their bats. His postseason heroics not only enhance his value but also set the stage for what could be a record-setting contract negotiation in the offseason.
