MLB insider claims Dodgers, Mets owners are problematic for Bronx Bombers in light of losing Juan Soto to Queens - Source: Getty
The New York Yankees are often touted as a better team than their cross-town rivals, the Mets, but that may no longer be the case after the recent signing of Juan Soto to a record 15-year, $765 million contract.
It’s rare for the Yankees to be outbid and miss out on a player they desire, especially someone who played a major role in helping them win their first AL pennant in 15 years.
MLB insider Joel Sherman believes that the Yankees are facing major competition from the Dodgers and the Mets, both of whom are ready to spend big.
"There was a time when the Yankees operated without opposition," Sherman said on "The Show" (4:30 onwards). "When they wanted a great player at the top of the market, they could flex their financial muscle and dominate. But now, with Guggenheim owning the Dodgers and Steve Cohen owning the Mets, there are at least three heavyweights in the mix."
