One of the biggest moves of the offseason came when the New York Yankees acquired superstar outfielder Juan Soto from the San Diego Padres. While there had been chatter for months about a potential move of the slugging outfielder to New York, there were a number of teams who emerged in the sweepstakes.

Now, after all of the speculation and rumors, Juan Soto has since been officially introduced by the New York Yankees and is looking forward to a number of things in his next chapter.
