Boomer congratulated Yankee fans for acquiring Juan Soto to open up Thursday morning’s show, but he added in a playful dig when looking ahead to Soto potentially reaching free agency next offseason.
“What a lineup it is,” Boomer said. “If you’re a Yankee fan, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Hanukkah, the whole thing. It’s a new day in Yankee world this morning.
“Then we’ll sign Juan Soto next year without giving up any assets.”
Boomer is hoping his Mets will spend the money to lock up Soto long term after the Yanks rent him for 2024, and while Gio expects the Yankees to extend Soto and not let him get to free agency, he does believe Mets fans will be holding out hope that Steve Cohen will strike on Soto next winter.
“That is what Met fans are standing on this morning,” Gio said.
