Ex-MLB catcher claims $765,000,000 star snubbing Bronx helped them acquire Paul Goldschmidt and other good pieces - Source: Imagn
Had the New York Yankees signed Juan Soto similar to a record deal (15-year, $765 million) he struck with the New York Mets, the club couldn't have signed other free agents, which they did like Max Fried and Paul Goldschmidt while also acquiring Cody Bellinger from the Chicago Cubs. That's according to MLB analyst Chris Gimenez.
The former MLB catcher revealed his thoughts on MLB Network Radio on Thursday, detailing the Yankees signing Goldschmidt, a former MVP, who's coming off a 22-home run season.
"I think he did the Yankees a favor because it allowed them to go after quality veteran guys like Paul Goldschmidt and some of the other pieces they’ve brought in this offseason," Gimenez said.
