I love David Cone. Should the Yankees listen when he says they need to strike to get Juan Soto?
"...appearing on “The Show” podcast, the ex-Yankees pitcher-turned-YES Network analyst encouraged the Yankees to make a serious run at Soto.
"This is Cashman’s one shot,” Cone said. “The Yankees need to do it right now, they really do. The window is there for them, the fanbase is clamoring for it. If you’ve been to Yankee Stadium lately, the crowds are up, the ratings on YES are through the roof, now is the time to strike.

“You look at a top-10 prospects list for the last 20 years, go back 10 years and look at the Yankees top-10 prospect list – maybe one or two of them made it. Anthony Volpe is a nice player, probably going to be the next shortstop for the Yankees, so maybe you carve him out and save him, but pretty much everybody should be on the table if you can get Juan Soto at this point. It would be such a smash for the Yankees to get him in the lineup."
Do we really need Juan Soto? Personally I don't think we do. But I'm not David Cone and I sure as hell have never dealt with the money that the Yankees have to land this guy, not to mention what they are willing to give up.
Pay close attention to this story folks. I didn't give it much thought until Coney said something. Now my mind is wondering.
Secondly... what happened to Aaron Judge if we do land that guy?
Stay tuned.
