It'll be the first time the Yankees have played in Mexico City since 1968.
GM Brian Cashman said Thursday getting Soto was proof the Bombers are still the Bombers when seeking talent.
In addition to Soto, the Yankees get Gold Glove center fielder Trent Grisham.
The Bombers are expected to fork over a handful of players for the 25-year-old outfielder, who is set to receive $27 million in 2024.
With their 5-2 defeat on Sunday, the Bombers finished the season 82-80.
Making his first appearance of the season, Frankie Montas got the win out of the bullpen in the 5-2 victory.
The veteran lefty allowed eight earned runs and didn't record an out in Friday's 12-5 loss.
Chris Bassitt reached 200 innings for the first time, Brandon Belt hit a three-run homer and the Blue Jays moved one step closer to a wild-card berth by beating the Yankees 6-0 on Thursday night.
The veteran right-hander pitched a 2-hitter and Aaron Judge homered twice in a 6-0 win Wednesday.
With the 2-0 win, the Bombers improved to a major league-best 18-9 since Aug. 28.
With Monday's 6-4 win, New York finished 42-39 at Yankee Stadium, its poorest home record since 2014.
The Yankees made the announcement more than four hours before the scheduled first pitch.
It was the second career three-homer game for Judge — both in the past month.
Cole allowed a run and two hits in his longest outing since pitching a two-hit shutout against Minnesota in April.
New York (76-76) dropped its third straight as its improbable postseason hopes keep dwindling away.
