Soto and Cortes Key for Yankees in World Series

Juan Soto's remarkable performance in the ALCS, including a crucial three-run homer, has propelled the New York Yankees to their first World Series in 15 years, and his impending free agency is a major point of discussion. Yankees pitcher Nestor Cortes Jr., recovering from a flexor strain, is determined to return for the World Series, willing to risk further injury to contribute to the team's success. Manager Aaron Boone has indicated that Cortes is likely to be included in the World Series roster, highlighting the team's strategic considerations as they aim to clinch their 28th championship. The Yankees' bullpen, managed adeptly by Boone, has been critical in their postseason success with a 2.56 ERA. As the World Series commences, the focus is on Soto's potential impact and Cortes's return, both pivotal to the Yankees' title aspirations.
