The player the Yankees want and some believe is ‘better than Soto’

Juan Soto’s departure from the New York Yankees left a huge void in the lineup and in the hearts of the fans, but they already want to leave it in the past and are already thinking of an alternative to the Dominican

And the ‘plan B’ was Vladimir Guerrero Jr, but he will stay in Toronto for several more years, after extending his contract last week. That was a blow for the Yankees, but they already have another one up their sleeve.

Juan Soto loses focus during Mets game while pleasing fan

It would be Kyle Tucker. One of the franchise’s sources said: “Tucker and his representatives should have uncorked many bottles of champagne at the sight of Guerrero receiving $500 million from the Toronto Blue Jays,” he has clearly become the number one target and rightly so

Tucker could shell out at least $400 million

According to some reports, Kyle has the ability to sign a deal that exceeds $400 million, a huge amount

“The numbers are crazy these days, but if he has a year like Tucker’s, how can he not reach $400 million or more? I’m not saying it in any way, but some believe he’s better than Soto,” commented an executive of a small market franchise

That comparison may sound crazy, but the reality is that their statistics speak for themselves.

In 2018, Kyle Tucker excelled with a 141 wRC+, standing out for the Astros with 30 home runs (twice), 30 stolen bases in 2023, a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove.

If Cody Bellinger leaves, the Yankees could put Dominguez in the center, with Judge and Tucker on the corners. At 29, Tucker would be looking for a 10-11 year contract, although he could extend with the Cubs.

It won’t be easy, as Chicago is a serious threat to the Yankees, the baseball player has no problem extending his contract, as he is happy in the ‘Windy City’. In this possible scenario, which is not so ideal for New York, considering another alternative would not be a bad idea
