Around the Empire: Yankees news - 11/6/24
Briefly

"The Yankees extended the one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer to Juan Soto, guaranteeing a compensatory draft pick should the All-Star sign elsewhere this offseason."
"Gerrit Cole's decision to agree to the original contract he opted out of showcases GM Brian Cashman's skill in avoiding costly contract extensions while maintaining team efficiency in free agency."
"Cashman, at the GM meetings, defended the Yankees’ performance in the World Series, pushing back against claims that the team is unlucky or poorly constructed for postseason play."
"Soto was ranked number one in FanGraphs' top 50 free agents, with projections suggesting a 12-year, $576 million deal due to his elite standing in the league."
