Source: Yankees, reliever Soriano agree to deal
The New York Yankees have agreed to a three-year, $35 million deal with reliever Rafael Soriano, a source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com.
www.espn.comI don’t have live access to current news feeds in this moment. Here’s a quick summary of recent reporting on Jose Soriano’s contract status to date:
- Angels arbitration and extension context: In early 2026, Jose Soriano settled with the Los Angeles Angels on a one-year, $2.9 million contract to avoid arbitration, keeping him under team control through 2028. This indicates the Angels chose to lock in his near-term value rather than pursue an immediate long-term extension, at least for the 2026 season.[3]
- Early 2026 momentum on an extension: Some outlets suggested the Angels could consider a longer-term deal if Soriano continues to perform at a high level, noting that a larger extension could be feasible if he maintains health and consistency over the next couple of seasons.[2]
