Will Juan Soto stay with the Yankees or join Mets

The Plakata Nation Podcast is back with a wrinkle on the Our Esquina Podcast Network. Former All-Star slugger and Emmy Award winner Carlos Peña and Cuz Rod Peña welcome Jesus Ortiz.

Peña, one of the most respected voices in baseball broadcasting, leads the discussion that centers on Juan Soto and baseball’s Hot Stove. Rodney Peña, a diehard Yankees fan from the Bronx, brings more passion and sazon than anybody.

Our Esquina CEO Jose de Jesus Ortiz, the longtime MLB beat writer, joins the podcast for the first time. Together, the Plakata Nation trio break down the top free agent names, beginning with Soto.

Soto, who helped the Yankees reach the World Series, is the biggest name on the market this winter. Will he get a deal north of $700? Carlos and Rodney Peña give their predictions? Will Soto take the train to Queens and play at Citi Field with the Mets, as Ortiz predicts?

Will Mets owner Steve Cohen break the bank on Soto? Can Cohen land Corbin Burnes? The Plakata Nation hosts give their takes.

Where will shortstop Willy Adames land? Adames declined the Brewers’ qualifying offer on Tuesday. Will the Astros sign him and move him to third base?

“I’m bullish on Willy Adames in every sense of the word,” Carlos Peña says.

Where will All-Star and Houston Astros leader Alex Bregman end up? Will the AL West rival Seattle Mariners land Bregman? Ortiz raved about Bregman so much, you’d think he wants to adopt the former LSU star.

It’s clear the Plakata Nation crew has a lot of respect for Bregman. Has Pete Alonso’s time in Queens ended? Tune in to Plakata Nation to hear Carlos and Rodney Peña and Jesus Ortiz discuss the hot stove.
