Yankees explore backup options as they pursue Juan Soto in free agency

silive.com — December 5, 2024 at 02:01 AM UTC

The New York Yankees are pursuing Juan Soto in free agency but are preparing alternative options. If they cannot sign Soto, they are considering infielder Willy Adames and pitcher Max Fried to strengthen their roster. Adames, 29, had a standout season with the Brewers and could play shortstop or third base. Fried, 30, is a left-handed pitcher with a strong track record, including a 3.25 ERA in 2024. The Yankees recently held a productive meeting with Fried and are exploring how to address their roster needs this offseason, depending on Soto's decision.
