I don't see the Yankees perspiring over him walking. I believe the Yankees are better off without yet another albatross (Stanton's insane contract). They claim they have a backup plan. We'll see.

I'm pretty sure the Citi Field naming rights were in place before the current ownership bought the team. Also, Steve Cohen is worth over $20 billion so I think he'll be ok even if he has to spend more to fill out the team around Soto.
