I think Scott Boras had more of a say in where Juan Soto was going, then Juan Soto did. I don't think Soto really cared where he ended up.

I disagree...
I never agreed with the Yanks batting Soto in front of Judge- as it had Judge in the 'protecting slot' - thereby actually putting more pressure on Judge whose protection became Stanton, a far streakier hitter than Soto.
Judge did get a lot more RBI opportunities, but, IMO, the order would have been stronger in Judge-Soto-Stanton order.
Soto is disciplined enough to get his walks regardless of position in the order, though hitting in front of Judge was better than hitting in front of Stanton.
