MAJOR-BREAKING: Yankees Predicted To Lose Japanese Phenom To Cross-Town Rival In Shocking Move.

The New York Yankees have had an eventful offseason so far. It started with a setback when they lost out on the highly sought-after Juan Soto to their rivals, the New York Mets.

This loss threw off the Yankees’ original offseason plans, but they’ve managed to bounce back by adding key players like Cody Bellinger, Devin Williams, Max Fried, and Paul Goldschmidt. However, their roster isn’t fully set yet, as they could still bring in a starting pitcher, infielder, and some additional relief pitchers to round out the team.

Recently, Pete Caldera of Northjersey.com predicted that the Yankees could face another defeat in a free-agent battle with the Mets, this time losing out on Japanese ace Roki Sasaki. Caldera speculated that the 23-year-old pitching phenom would choose the Mets over the Yankees, which would be a surprising turn of events.

While Sasaki is widely expected to sign with a West Coast team like the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Diego Padres, the Mets’ offer might still sway him. If Sasaki follows in Soto’s footsteps and selects the Mets, it could be a major blow for the Yankees in the competitive Subway Series. Will Sasaki opt for the Mets, or will he head to the West Coast?
