00:00:00.175 --> 00:00:01.305
- Late Wednesday night,

2
00:00:01.305 --> 00:00:04.545
the Yankees finally landed
Juan Soto in a seven player

3
00:00:04.545 --> 00:00:06.855
blockbuster trade with the Padres.

4
00:00:06.855 --> 00:00:10.705
Will Soto solve the
Yankees problems from 2023?

5
00:00:11.765 --> 00:00:15.145
No, there's still questions
surrounding Carlos Rodan,

6
00:00:15.145 --> 00:00:18.105
Anthony Rizzo, and Jim
Carlos Stanton, among others.

7
00:00:19.375 --> 00:00:22.525
Soto potentially fills the void for if

8
00:00:22.525 --> 00:00:25.445
and when Aaron Judge gets hurt again.

9
00:00:25.445 --> 00:00:27.065
So that's good.

10
00:00:27.065 --> 00:00:29.335
I guess right now,

11
00:00:29.335 --> 00:00:32.925
Soto Satiates a rabid Yankees
fan base that was calling

12
00:00:32.925 --> 00:00:35.465
for the heads of Brian
Cashman and Aaron Boone.

13
00:00:35.465 --> 00:00:38.605
At Season's End, the
noise quiets a little,

14
00:00:38.605 --> 00:00:42.375
so Cashman can focus on
signing Japanese pitching star

15
00:00:42.375 --> 00:00:44.085
Yahi Nobu Yamamoto,

16
00:00:44.085 --> 00:00:47.775
and maybe still take a
stab at Cody Ballinger.

17
00:00:47.775 --> 00:00:49.485
- Whoa, it hurts. Even with a glass.

18
00:00:49.485 --> 00:00:52.285
You see the moves, huh?
It's a really smart comment.

19
00:00:52.285 --> 00:00:53.825
- That's unlikely. Now though, with

20
00:00:53.825 --> 00:00:58.405
that blockbuster Alex
Verdugo trade blockbuster

21
00:00:58.405 --> 00:01:02.045
people want the Yankees to
return to the spend now,

22
00:01:02.045 --> 00:01:04.965
win now mentality they had in the past,

23
00:01:04.965 --> 00:01:06.925
and that's not going to happen.

24
00:01:06.925 --> 00:01:08.485
Giving up extra pitching

25
00:01:08.485 --> 00:01:11.445
and prospects for a generational
bat is a great headline

26
00:01:11.445 --> 00:01:13.325
and will help the offense.

27
00:01:13.325 --> 00:01:15.925
But the Yankees still
have a long way to go

28
00:01:15.925 --> 00:01:19.125
to get back into World Series contention.

29
00:01:19.125 --> 00:01:21.585
Thanks for watching,
and stick with Deadspin.
