Alex Cora has a sneaking suspicion that the Yankees are pulling a prank.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora shared his reasoning for coming to this determination during a talk he had with Yankees captain Aaron Boone on Tuesday at the MLB winter meetings in Nashville.

“Yesterday, I FaceTimed with Aaron Boone and he gave me this look and sort of smile. He was overjoyed. Thus, a significant event might occur there,” Cora stated, as reported by MassLive.

For Yankees supporters who are worried about the team rebuilding its roster after they finished 82-80 and missed the playoffs in the previous season, this would be excellent news.

At the winter meetings, Boone, for his part, professed appreciation for both Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Juan Soto (Yashima is a free agent, while Soto has one year remaining on his contract with the Padres), but he did not hint that either player would be acquired anytime soon.

Boone described Soto as an attacking machine on Tuesday. “Power, durability, on-base, accomplished a great deal at a young age, and was a key member of a world championship team.” has arrived to much excitement and has proven to be one of our sport’s most reliable оffensive players year after year. He is an excellent player.

Finding a 25-year-old pitcher who is as decorated as he is and who has achieved the kind of success he has at this stage of his career over there and in the WBC on a global scale is difficult, according to Boone. According to our findings, this person is incredibly talented, and I believe that the industry feels the same way. It seems like he will have a lot of potential suitors.

“However, I have a great deal of confidence that he will come over here and be a truly exceptional pitcher who can be the best in the rotation.”
