Yankees Explore Options to Fill Juan Soto's Void

The New York Yankees are actively exploring various options to address the significant gap left by Juan Soto's departure to the Mets on a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million deal. The Yankees' search for a suitable replacement is extensive, but it seems they are not currently considering Pete Alonso, another client of Scott Boras, despite his familiarity with New York.

According to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, the Yankees have "checked in" on Alonso, but MLB.com's Mark Feinsand reports that Alonso is not a primary target for the team at this time. Instead, the Yankees are reportedly looking at free agent Christian Walker as a potential first baseman.

​Meanwhile, the Mets have not ruled out the possibility of reuniting with Alonso, despite the addition of Soto. Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns expressed the team's interest in bringing Alonso back, acknowledging his significant contributions to the franchise
