Juan Soto is gonna make a lot of money this off-season.
And we mean a lot of money.
The free agent outfielder-to-be, who is already expected to break records on his next contract, probably blew all future offers out of the water when he launched a three-run homer to right-center in the top of the 10th inning to give the Yankees a 5-2 lead, and ultimately send New York back to the World Series for the fist time in 15-years.

It all went down perfectly for New York in that 10th inning. A walk to Austin Wells started the inning. Another error by Guardians short stop Bryan Rocchio followed, setting up Soto with two men on and two out.
After fouling off four straight pitches, Soto got a pitch he liked and crushed it. You knew it was gone as soon as center fielder Lane Thomas started back-peddling for the wall.
When the ball went over, Soto stopped looked back toward the dugout and screamed, before rounding the bases.
The ALCS was over. The Yankees were back in the Fall Classic.
Soto's blast sent a shiver through Yankees fans everywhere. Most posted to social media that it was time for the Yankees to anti-up and pay Soto.
Even Jazz Chisholm joined the chorus screaming "Pay my man" during an interview on the YES Network.
Some think Soto could make upwards of $600 million on a new deal. Could that jump up to $700? $800 million? It could.
On a side note, let us not forget Giancarlo Stanton who was named the ALCS MVP. Stanton deserved it; he smacked three homers in the Series, including the game tying home run on Saturday in Game 5.
The Yankees will now await the winner of the Mets-Dodgers NLCS. Should the Mets stage a miraculous comeback and win the pennant, the World Series begins next Friday, October 25 at Yankee Stadium.
Should the Dodgers win, Game 1 will be in Los Angeles.
