Yankees Reflect on Soto's Mets Deal Amid Cashman's Defense of Steinbrenner

Yankees GM Brian Cashman defended owner Hal Steinbrenner's efforts to re-sign Juan Soto after the star player signed a record 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets. Despite offering $760 million over 16 years, the Yankees couldn't retain Soto, highlighting their competitive bid. Cashman emphasized that the Yankees won't spend excessively despite Soto's departure, but they still need to address roster gaps in the outfield, rotation, and bullpen.
