Juan Soto has settled in just fine with the Yankees, marveling at the reach and intensity of the fan base, relishing New York\'s rich culture and, of course, hitting in a loaded lineup right in front of Aaron Judge.
He\'ll have a decision to make sooner than later on whether to re-up, with his first time as a free agent looming in the fall. But perhaps he won\'t make it to the open market at all. Soto said Thursday that he would give his blessing to contract talks during the season if the Yankees want to approach his agent, Scott Boras, about a long-term contract.
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner told the team\'s YES Network he\'d consider such a tactic for the three-time All-Star and four-time Silver Slugger, who\'s still just 25 years old.
