In the aftermath of the Juan Soto free agency sweepstakes, which resulted in a historic, $765 million contract for the 26-year-old slugger with the New York Mets, a rumor emerged that a security guard employed by the New York Yankees had disallowed a member of Soto's family,

The Post previously reported Soto had been upset by an incident in which a Yankees security guard blocked a family member of his and his chef/driver from certain areas of the ballpark.

Fans thought that the Yankees' mistreatment of Juan Soto's family played a role in his free-agency decision, but that was a nothing-burger.
