The Yankees’ season is over, so Juan Soto’s free agency is set to begin.
And if this was it for Soto as a Yankee, it ended in ugly fashion, as the Yankees suffered one of their worst losses in franchise history in a 7-6, season-ending defeat to the Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series.
Asked if he considered that this might have been his last home game in The Bronx, Soto said, “You never know. We’ll see where we’re at. It’s definitely a tough game to be my last.”

That’s the next drama, as the 26-year-old star heads to free agency for the first time and he made clear again Wednesday night that the Yankees don’t have any advantage over any other team that pursues him.
“I feel every team has the same opportunity,” Soto said. “I don’t want to say anybody has an advantage.”
