New York Yankees icon and current YES Network analyst David Cone made it known last spring that he had no problem with the fact that then-Yankees outfielder Juan Soto wanted to reach free agency following the 2024 season. Of course, Soto ultimately left the Yankees to sign a massive deal with the New York Mets.

After outfielder Aaron Judge took heat for revealing he hadn’t spoken to Soto at all to try to recruit him back to the Yankees in free agency, Boone was asked the same question on WFAN.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone is heading into the last year of his contract. That may not be the case for much longer.

Juan Soto has only been with the New York Mets for seven weeks, but it looks like the team has already made a public relations flub with its biggest ever free-agent signing.
