The Yankees made the biggest move of the MLB offseason thus far, trading for star outfielder Juan Soto on Wednesday night. While many New York fans were asking for the trade, one Yankees legend called his shot months before the deal went through.
At the MLB All-Star Game in July, Derek Jeter said he wanted to see the Yankees trade for Soto to improve their team. While Jeter was first talking about the trade deadline, San Diego chose to hold off on trading Soto until the offseason and New York pounced the moment he was available, making Jeter’s wish come true.
Derek Jeter: "I wouldn't mind seeing the Yankees go out and get Juan Soto."
