LOS ANGELES — Those pretty left-handed swings that you see from Juan Soto, like the one in Cleveland last weekend that won the pennant for the Yankees, that’s the way he was as a kid, too. “I really swung the bat well,” Soto said before the Yankees’ World Series-eve workout at Dodger Stadium.

"That's for another day," Boone said. "Look, Juan has obviously been a central figure for us all year. Hit an amazing home run that helped us clinch a ticket to the World Series. The biggest thing, just getting to be around Juan this year, he's proven to be an amazing teammate, great person to get to know, and obviously a great player.
