00:03 - Here's Brian Cashman just a couple of hours ago,

00:05 very happy about the deal.

00:07 And does he want to sign him long-term?

00:09 Here's Cash.

00:10 - How important was the Soto move

00:12 to the future of this franchise in your mind?

00:15 - Well, as you know, the future's always now.

00:19 So 24 is our focus and trying to become

00:23 that last team standing once again,

00:25 as we've done in years gone by, that's the focus.

00:29 So, you know, that's really,

00:33 that's what the Yankees are all about is obviously

00:35 what's, how's best to position us for 24

00:39 and how best generally to position us

00:41 for our very next season.

00:42 - There's been any indication that Soto

00:44 and Scott Boris would be willing to talk

00:46 about an extension before he hits free agency?

00:48 I know that's typically not what Boris clients do, but.

00:53 - I haven't had any conversations regarding that.

00:55 So we understand that he's a present

00:59 at the end of this term.

01:00 And, but, you know, we understand

01:04 that it's a possible short-term situation

01:06 and I know he's just gonna make our team

01:08 significantly better, but it's not gonna be just him.

01:12 We gotta continue working at what else we can add

01:14 to this roster.

01:15 - Yeah, I think Joe, they gotta put the full court press on

01:21 and make sure they do resign him.

01:23 Obviously, you don't want the guy

01:24 on the other side of town,

01:25 who's got a lot more money getting an opportunity

01:29 to bid against you.

01:31 But either way, Yankees are back potentially for now.
