The Bombers, led by a contingent that includes Hal Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone, were scheduled to meet with the right fielder and his agent, Scott Boras, in Southern California on Monday, as first reported by the New York Post. Boras’ agency is based out of Newport Beach.

Hal Steinbrenner will not go down without a flight. It is not just Mets owner Steve Cohen who is planning a trip to Southern California to see Juan Soto and Scott Boras, but the Yankees’ owner, too. Steinbrenner is expected to fly out for a visit with the superstar free agent and his agent in about a week and a half,

As much as Juan Soto enjoyed his one season with the New York Yankees, there's no sign he will give the club any kind of discount in free agency as he and agent Scott Boras prepare to meet with all serious would-be buyers.
