Yankees Have \'No Regrets\' About Not Offering Juan Soto Stadium Suite
The New York Yankees saw Juan Soto leave for the New York Mets earlier this week, joining the crosstown rival on a 15-year, $765 million deal.
The Yankees\' final offer was a reported $760 million over 16 years, but there were other items included on the Mets\' side that the Yankees didn\'t offer.
Soto received a $75 million signing bonus and a family suite at Citi Field from the Mets.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has no regrets about how the club negotiated with Soto.
\"I don\'t think the suite is a possession arrow one way or the other, especially when you\'re making that kind of money,\" Cashman said. \"We provide a suite for the family members, for the wives. We\'re probably one of the more unique organizations that provide seats outside automatically, but we do provide a suite because of the weather. If they want to be upstairs, they have a choice. We have a great family room set up with babysitting. It\'s a great, safe setup to take care of families.
\"When we have a roster with a lot of great players and high-end players, we\'ve gone through a process in previous negotiations where (suite discussions occurred) and that is what we did. We\'re gonna honor those. No regrets there.\"
