Here's a look at Soto's top options as he enters free agency for the first time in his career.

After helping to lead the New York Yankees to their first World Series appearance in 2009, Soto endeared himself to fans in the Bronx and looked like a perfect fit in pinstripes.

Soto brought back a swagger that was missing from the Yankees lineup and his presence helped star slugger Aaron Judge put forth a campaign that will likely earn him his second career American League MVP award.

Staying with the Yankees would solidify Soto as one of the faces of the franchise alongside Judge. He would give New York its best chance to add a 28th World Series title and help avenge the heartbreak of this year's loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Yankees have been safe with their spending over the last few years, but if ever there was a time to return to the days under George Steinbrenner when the team would break the bank to land the player it wanted, it's now. Soto is a proven superstar who can make the Yankees the top contender in the AL for years to come.
