One of the main narratives of the Yankees’ 2024 season centered on whether Soto would be a one-and-done with the team or if this would be the first year in a long-term partnership.

The Yankees acquired Soto knowing he may only be here for one year, although, in theory, bringing him in even for one year could help the odds that he sticks around if he likes his situation.

Soto fit in seamlessly, hitting a career-best 41 homers and driving in 109 runs with a .989 OPS.
