Juan Soto of the New York Yankees achieved a remarkable milestone by hitting a home run in all 30 Major League ballparks, a goal he aimed for after being traded from the National League. Soto also reached his first 40-homer season and his 200th career home run during an 11-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners, helping the Yankees edge closer to securing a playoff berth. Soto, who is set to become a free agent, hinted at his upcoming free agency, which will likely be a significant event in the offseason. The Yankees hope to retain him by capitalizing on his current success and the strong rapport he has built with the team's fans. However, the Yankees are also preparing for the possibility of Soto leaving, with potential replacements like Alex Bregman being considered. The team's financial strategy and postseason aspirations are tightly interwoven with Soto's future decisions.
