A major New York Yankees rumor from this offseason was reportedly fake news despite it being a sensible decision for the franchise. This has been a very productive offseason for the Pinstripes. In early December they were hit with a massive body blow when they not only lost Juan Soto in free agency but to crosstown rivals the New York Mets.

The New York Mets knew that they were making a risky decision when they signed former New York Yankees closer Clay Holmes to a $38 million deal to be a starter. The Mets, however, are confident that he will navigate through those risks.

Despite multiple teams showing interest in Pete Alonso, the New York Yankees chose not to pursue him due to ambitious market expectations set by his agent, Scott Boras. Alonso is also considering a return to the New York Mets or joining the Toronto Blue Jays.

The New York Yankees were reported to be early suitors for free agent Pete Alonso, but the slugger's agent Scott Boras was the main obstacle, a new report says.

Scott Boras seems to be failing to sign Pete Alonso with the Mets. An MLB analyst claims Alonso will fire Boras if he moves away from Queens.
