He explained that the deal came together quickly and that New York was unable to submit a bid for the left-hander until they had an idea of what Soto was going to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_rdktvrftc\">&#8220;I told him I can&#8217;t make an offer until I know what&#8217;s going on with Soto first because I couldn&#8217;t do both at that level,&#8221; Cashman\u00a0<a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_aoxits\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChrisKirschner\/status\/1866270871360241669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChrisKirschner\/status\/1866270871360241669\" aria-label=\"said - open in a new tab\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"\">said<\/a>\u00a0of his conversation with Snell&#8217;s agent Scott Boras, who also represents Soto.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_23h44a9gh\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">Soto ultimately chose to swap allegiances and join the Mets, agreeing to a 15-year, $765 million deal, the richest in sports history. Reports say the Yankees submitted a bid worth $760 million over 16 seasons for Soto, but he turned them down. Had he been willing to return to the Yankees, the team would likely have been out on Snell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0djr5zfqs\">While New York was still honed in on Soto, the Dodgers moved quickly to sign Snell and bolster their pitching rotation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper_1kqco5a-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_9k5txm06m\">\n<hr class=\"line_lv14l-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>San Francisco Giants pitcher Blake Snell on the mound against the Atlanta Braves. \/ Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images The New York Yankees were unsuccessful in their attempt to&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9294,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9290","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
