The New York Yankees, who were absolutely horrendous at the plate in the 2022 season, are seemingly “very close” to landing a superstar in a blockbuster trade — a move that would fix a lot of their problems at the plate and get them back on the road to the World Series. And that superstar is San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto, with the Yanks closing in on a deal that would ship him off to the Bronx, according to the New York Daily News.

A potential deal for Soto could include pitcher Michael King and several other players being sent to San Diego.
