This is because only 'betting poetry writers' have already exceeded $600 million (about 849.2 billion won) and competition is so fierce. The Yankees also bet accordingly, but strong big clubs such as the Boston Red Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Toronto Blue Jays, and the New York Mets are all making every effort to recruit Soto.
As a result, the ransom goes through the roof, and some say that the failed team is the real winner. The Yankees, Soto's original team, are gradually making rational judgments after seeing this situation. It was reported that 'Plan B' had already been prepared on the premise of the possibility of missing Soto. It is a plan that is much more realistic in terms of fiscal expenditure and can supplement the team's power to some extent.
MLB.COM reported on the 5th (Korea time) 'If the Yankees miss Soto, they may bet heavily for the recruitment of Willy Adames (29). MLB Dotum Senior Reporter Mark Pinesand said, `The Yankees want Soto to stay on the team, but if Soto signs with another team, they can secure enough funds to operate Plan B," he reported.
Citing a source, the media outlet quoted "The plan B option considered by the Yankees is Adames (the Milwaukee Brewers). Adames is a shortstop who became an FA after playing in 161 games this season with 32 home runs (8th) and 112 RBIs (2nd)."

In four seasons with Milwaukee, he appeared in 548 games, with 107 homers and 348 RBIs. He showed a stronger slugging power in the National League than in the American League (AL), hitting a career batting average of 248, 150 home runs, 472 RBIs, and 7606 on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS).
Adames, who became an FA, quickly became one of the most popular products in the stove league market. This is because he is a utility player with both defense and offense, as well as excellent long-range power and is considered the best shortstop in the league. Not only shortstop but also second and third base defense is possible.
Above all, it can be recruited at a relatively low price compared to Soto.
The Yankees are running Plan A (remain in Soto) and Plan B (recruitment of Adames) at the same time. However, if Plan A fails, the remaining financial power can be poured into Plan B. The failure of Plan A is a structure that can increase the likelihood of Plan B's success.

Adames is also open to positional movement. MLB.COM quoted another source as saying 'Adames prefers to maintain his shortstop position, but may accept a position shift for the right circumstances and contracts. This means that it is possible if you receive enough money to accept positional transfer.
