Soto declined the Yankees' one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer Tuesday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. It was a formality that Soto would decline it, of course, but by extending it the Yankees will now net a draft pick in the event they are unable to re-sign the superstar. Soto has already had free-agent meetings with the Blue Jays, Red Sox, Yankees and Mets and will meet with the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Soto received a qualifying offer from the Yankees on Monday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. Soto is expected to decline the offer in what is simply a procedural move for the Yankees, who would receive draft compensation should the 26-year-old superstar sign with another team in free agency. Soto is the biggest name headed to the open market, and he's coming off his first season with the Yankees with a slash line of .288/.419/.569 with 41 home runs and 109 RBI across 713 plate appearances during the regular season.

Soto is absent from Sunday's lineup against the Pirates, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. The Yankees will start Jasson Dominguez, Aaron Judge and Alex Verdugo in the outfield for Sunday's regular-season finale. Unless he comes in to pinch hit, Soto will end his first season with the Yankees having slashed .288/.419/.569 with a career-best 41 home runs and 109 RBI over 713 plate appearances.

Soto went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and three RBI in Wednesday's 9-7 loss to the Orioles. The 25-year-old slugger took Zach Eflin deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning, but the Yankees were already in an 8-1 hole at that point. Soto's 41 homers on the season continues to add to his career-best total, and he sits just two RBI short of tying the career-high 110 he racked up in 2019 with the Nationals.

Soto (knee) will start in right field and bat second Saturday against the Athletics. Soto injured his knee during Thursday's contest and was scratched from Friday's lineup due to lingering soreness, though he was able to enter as a pinch hitter and log an RBI double. He'll now return to the starting nine Saturday to face JP Sears.
