The whisper number for Juan Soto is currently $600 million.

He was said to have eclipsed the beloved late Padres owner Peter Seidler. And now Soto added his best full regular season, showing he can succeed in New York and reaffirming his belief that he is a postseason player.

In any case, it's hard to imagine how the Yankees could let him get away with it now.

It appears that Aaron Boone is likely to get an extension now that the Yankees are on the verge of advancing to the World Series. They were the best team in the AL, but he caught a break against two AL Central teams.

The playoffs are a crapshoot, but not when the Yankees play the Central (it should be seven straight wins for the Yanks; it feels like a lifetime since the Tigers knocked them out three times).

The Yankees were 24/7 against Central teams in the regular season, and if they beat Cleveland that would be 7-0 against Central teams since October 2017, a time when they didn't exactly dominate the playoffs .

Francisco Lindor was unfairly snubbed for not qualifying as a Gold Glove finalist. Just like he was snubbed for the All-Star team.

Remember that authors have nothing to do with Gold Gloves.
