The New York Yankees traded for Juan Soto, a top-ranked left-handed pure hitter, hoping to be the top hitter in the game. Soto was ranked No. 3 in MLB Network’s top-10 right fielders list, behind Ronald Acuna Jr. and Kyle Tucker.In 2023, Acuna, the reigning MVP, had an exceptional season, while Tucker excelled on the field, but Soto is considered the superior player.Soto, a 25-year-old with a 5.5 WAR and.275/.410/.519 last season, is expected to hit 40+ home runs at Yankee Stadium if he continues to showcase his skills throughout his six-year MLB career.Soto’s power is crucial for the Yankees’ offense, but he also contributes to the plate by achieving high batting rates, and the ideal situation is for him to continue his current form.New York’s lineup, featuring a healthy Aaron Judge, is expected to see significant additions like this, aiming for division titles and World Series championships.
