Yeah there was a reason why he didnt get it after 2022 season when he botched that easy ground ball from Segura the WC game lol I mean HE WAS THE MAIN REASON WHY THEY LOST THAT GAME.
Should we call Tommy Edman Li'l Mook? He was the guy they needed to sign to an extension. They got a top starter and are still favorites to sign Roki Sasaki, so the next most important thing is to have defense and Edman provides that with a postseason bat. Ask the Yankees how important defense is in determining the winner and loser in the postseason. Gleyber Torres caused them to go home down 0-2 rather than 1-1 because of one error in Game 1.
I get what Harold is saying, but they almost didn't figure it out. If Walker Buehler doesn't turn back into Walker Buehler and close out game 5 like he did, that bully is spent going into game 6 and possibly 7. They were gassed.
All the "Soto" talk is ridiculous. The Dodgers have NO reason to sign him. Where does he fit in the lineup? I don't touch any of the current players to replace them with Soto. In fact, Teo Hernandez has much more value to the Dodgers that Soto. I would count him as practically re-signed already. If all the Dodgers then do from now until the start of the '25 season, considering all they have already done - plus Teo, is just re-sign Buehler, Treinen and Keeks, 2025 will be a repeat championship year.
Harold and Matt are right. Marcus Lynn Betts (MLB) is a far better player than Juan Soto. I’m all for players getting as much as they can get in FA, but how do you justify $600 million+ for Soto when Mookie is $365 million… 🤦🏻♂️
You don't. Anything over 500 mil is an overpay from teams desperate and thinking they are one player away. 4-5 ABs per game and mediocre defense in right field worth over $50 Mil a year?
@@calebethebeast5254 He's not going to stop pitching until he's in his mid-late thirties or he blows out his arm. By that point he will be much too old to run he outfield. Just look at how many injuries the outfield has given Mike Trout in his 30's.
Alec bohm lol thats how you do it lol I cant believe the guy who litterly caused the Cardinals WC game 1 got a bigger contract then Alec Bohm hahahahahahahahahahha
The Dodgers will just WAY overpay for everyone lol I mean, $15M a year for 5 years on a soon to be 30 year old Tommy Edman just because he was good in the playoffs?
He's a switch hitter,plays multiple positions,steals bases and can bunt.Hes also in his prime and with the dodgers elite lineup he'll be a better player.
Soto should get more money than Mookie because he has more good seasons ahead of him. 6 years younger than Betts. If Betts suddenly became 26 again, he'd be worth a LOT more.
Not really. I do agree if we are overracting soto in giving him 600 + million than mookie needs 1 billion. Ohtani 2 billion. Judge needs 1.5 billion. Like thats what your asking. Over paying every superstar. Soto true value is 450 million because hes shown hes a great hitter. If soto was doing it on defense than i would agree 500 million. But thats overpaying. 600 + million is Paying 2 players soto is a 1 tool player.
Soto is a liability in the outfield despite his elite hitting. Mookie provides decent AB’s with .280 plus avg. seasons. MVP, three World Series. Yeah Soto ain’t no Mookie bro😭😭
Same story with every big name Yankee FA. They going to over pay him to keep him. Don’t no one want to play with chocking ass Aaron Judge and old ass Stanton…no championship in that future
Someone finally said it out loud, Soto is not on Mookie’s level, yet he wants 600 million 😅
Been saying it, imo he’s honestly not worth Mookie contract, maybe like 350 10yrs
@ 💯
Crazy how Mookie's 12 years 365 mil contract at age 28 is looking like a steal now. If Soto gets over 600 for being mediocre at defense, it's insane.
Soto's bat is near Shohei level, but he doesn't have the defense of Mookie, or the speed and arm that shohei has
Mookie is a better defensive player than Soto, you’ll never see Soto play any other position besides LF or RF 🤷♂️
Tommy Edman deserves this extension.
Yeah there was a reason why he didnt get it after 2022 season when he botched that easy ground ball from Segura the WC game lol
I mean HE WAS THE MAIN REASON WHY THEY LOST THAT GAME.
@@seanguzy9601everyone makes mistakes, true professionals rise from it, like he did. The NLCS performance will go down in Dodgers lore
Bring back Teo too
Happy for Edman!
Soto has an ego that don’t fit here in LA, and he’s no Mookie bets to demand over 350 , lacks defensive hustle. Mookie is very versatile
Just like manny machado, an amazing talent but the ego did not fit in and we are so much better off without him
He deserves it. Plays multiple positions and he will be the Starting SS right now
The Dodgers doesn't want Soto!!!
Dodgers don't need the tumor that will metastasize into cancer in the clubhouse with his new contract...

Resign Buehler, Treinen and both Hernandez’s now.
I could not BELIEVE we got Edman! Sorry not sorry about the “leadership” in St Louis!
Love Edman n SHOtime but Snelly, u guys watch his No hitter??? He Fucking went straight at them n smoked em out🙌
Freddie Freeman's contract is now a bargain. 😂
Thank goodness for my Dodgers because my JeTs r utterly embarrassing😂.

@@tpak819y’all making too much sense for the TH-cam comment section
Outman is not an option. Sign the two Hernandez. Can't Ohtani play RF?
Yes he can💯 He did it in Japan. When he’s done with pitching he can focus on his defense out there
@@calebethebeast5254 He's not going to stop pitching until he's in his mid-late thirties or he blows out his arm.

… yeah dumb ass statement to say about someone who just won the NLDCS…the jealousy is nauseating…move on 😑😑
Why do they keep bringing up Soto? We want Teo back! We DON’T want Soto!
We don't need Soto
Dodgers also need a backup catcher!!!!
Austin Barnes isn't going anywhere.
Backup catcher is the bottom of the totem pole. Not even an issue.
And Barnes honestly had a great year in 2024 for such limited play time.
Put CT3 at catcher! 😂😂
Soto should get more money than Mookie because he has more good seasons ahead of him. 6 years younger than Betts.

Mookie signed his contract at age 28. That's only 2 years older than the current Soto.
He's not better than trout and trout got 400 million plus.
Lol the nerve to say mookie is better than soto is insane
Soto is a below average fielder.
@ they don’t pay you to field they pay you to hit and soto is the best hitter in the game
Soto is a liability in the outfield despite his elite hitting. Mookie provides decent AB’s with .280 plus avg. seasons. MVP, three World Series. Yeah Soto ain’t no Mookie bro😭😭
@ he’s better than mookie soto is only 26 mookie is like 33 😂
Soto since 2018: 936 games, 36 rWAR
Mookie since 2018: 873 games, 45 rWAR
Soto age 19-25: 936 games, 36 rWAR
Betts age 21-26: 794 games, 42 rWAR
Betts clears, not particularly close
Same story with every big name Yankee FA. They going to over pay him to keep him. Don’t no one want to play with chocking ass Aaron Judge and old ass Stanton…no championship in that future
