Since losing out on resigning Soto, the Yankees have pivoted brilliantly by signing Max Fried, trading for Devin Williams, resigning Jonathan Loáisiga, trading for Cody Bellinger, and signing Paul Goldschmidt. Yes, not having Soto in the lineup next year sucks but they're done a masterful job at filling in other holes with that money. Still need protection for Judge in the lineup though.
