Yankees' Pursuit of Snell Hangs in the Balance Over Juan Soto's Future

New York, NY - According to a report from MLB Insider Buster Haynes, the New York Yankees have been mentioned as interested parties for Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Tyler Snell. However, team president Brian Cashman needs to address a pressing concern before making any significant moves: re-signing veteran slugger Juan Soto.

Haynes revealed that the Bronx Bombers' interest in acquiring one of baseball's top starters is conditional on their ability to keep Soto in pinstripes. If Soto does not return to the team, Haynes stated that Cashman and company will be more aggressive in pursuing other elite aces. However, if Soto decides to remain with the Yankees, Haynes is skeptical of the team's willingness to break the bank for one of the top pitchers, citing concerns over payroll and roster construction.
