The New York Yankees were unsuccessful in their attempt to re-sign Juan Soto in free agency, a pursuit which ultimately cost them the opportunity to potentially lure Blake Snell to the Bronx.
Yankees GM Brian Cashman spoke to reporters at the winter meetings and acknowledged Snell's five-year, $182 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. 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.
