the Soto deal was bad for baseball. Every other guy out there who can hit a HR will want his value doubled. It's a bad direction. I've no doubt fans will pay for this in ticket prices and concessions. I hope the Mets get burned with Soto.
Salty jealous fans lol. I went to 2 Mets game last year and this up coming season i already bought 4 game tickets. Worry about your cheap team stop hating on the Mets
I love how Soto is mentioned in every comment section regardless of the video it tells me he’s worth the money cause tantrums are only done when you don’t get what you want,especially when your spoiled
Blue Jays got Vlad and their 3B both on 1 year left and both will want over 200mil easy. Vlad pry gets 400. You need to know today who you are gonna resign and then trade the other guy. Get an Alcantara to replace the hitting
Cubs are Not done and could keep Bellinger as well. Again, Still not top 10 in spending. Rotation is Good. Bullpen needs alot of help. But could they trade for Vlad? Yeahhhhhh. I think 🤔 Cubs would more be after Toronto's 3B tho. Guy steadily leads Mlb in hits.
Trading Vlad Jr., Cease, or Jared Jones would definitely shake things up! Vlad's extension rejection makes you wonder if the Jays will hold or cash in, while Cease and Jones seem too pivotal for their teams to part with easily. High risk, high reward moves could define this offseason!
Atkins knows if he trade Vladdy it will be the end of his time in Toronto. He's had more than 2 years to sign him to an extension. He's been disrespected by Schapiro and Atkins and now sees how they cannot build a winner. No player of value will sign with those 2 clowns. The only way Atkins can get talent is by trades but he has already cleared the farm system. It's N out t the money, it's the idiots running the team.
Since Vlad is not resiging, the real best way from the bussiness standpoint is to trade him. They already have that PR nightmare (more than deservingly so) since they extended none of them AND both made clear they don't want to stay anymore
Hey Jim please call Steve Cohen & David Stearns and tell them to stop fucking around with 2 bit played and save the resources to trade for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. & sign him long term along with Pete Alonso (DH) so he can retire as a Met! Thank You in advance, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Either this is a troll comment or an asinine one.......... I guess vlad Jr and Alonso will be splitting time. Actually splitting time 3 ways cause Soto going to take up 1st base and dh too.
@icekangz817 Why don't we trade the rest of the team and let Soto play with himself... his the RF... PERIOD I'll give you credit on one thing, he should be the DH, his defense sucks... he's an on base machine.
The Jays aren't going to be competitive against the Yankees, O's, Red Soxs and even the Rays next year. No free agent wants to sign with a team that has really bad upper management, they should trade Vlad and Bo.
Re: Vladdy, PR is BS. If the right second piece is included, I love the Mariners trade. There's then still a couple very promising free agent 1B they'd have to go after full tilt. And top it off by offering Bo a generous offer, buying low, but showing confidence in him. He just might sign up. The new window would be open!
I had to pause the video before you got into the Jared Jones scenario. He did a lot last season to not endear himself to the Pirates front office, specifically, complaining to the SS and the media about defensive placement. As to trading Chandler, that is not going to happen, that kid is much closer to Paul Skenes level than he is Jared Jones. Would I want to trade Jones, no. If I can turn Jared Jones into Tristan Casas, Keston Hjerstad or Coby Mayo I definitely would have to consider it.
Guerrero is a showman not a focused winner. He led the league hitting into double plays during 2023 and was a dog the first couple of months in the 2024 season. He is not clutch in the big moments. Fans were saying he's not elite and trading him was the talk. He probably would do better on another team because he is just too comfortable in Toronto, clowning around and just "wanting to have fun" his motto.
Here's why the Mets should be open to trading for Vladdy. #1) Don't give another team the chance to make Vlad really happy and re-think playing with Juan. #2) Why waste a year of Juan when you can have the Dynamic Duo starting next year? #3) You can trade the fairly expendable pieces for him. They could send Ryan Clifford, Luisangel Acuna, and Jonah Tong, 22.20 combined value from BTV, and you go. The PR is already shot. Better to build and get ready for the future.
I think the jays should trade vlad and bo, what's the old saying what wins games pitching, which the jays got a awesome rotation. Also, defense the jays got two gold gloves up the middle in CF & 2nd. Trade bo and the jays have a gold glove SS. That's something to work with there are options other than free agency.
Really no point to trade Vlad Jr right now. Just wait until the deadline. See how the team is doing and then decide. Other teams get really desperate at the deadline, so Jays will probably end up getting a better offer than this offseason. Vlad will rake on this contract year.
Vlad to the Orioles? Think, Ryan Mountcastle is insane in Toronto. How about this trade: Orioles receive: Vladimir Guerro Jr. Blue Jays receive: Ryan Mountcastle + Samuel Basallo + Bryan Baker
It begins! Vlad thinks he is worth 500-600. He wont be the only thinking like this, as im sure agents of super star players like a Vlad will be asking for ridiculous amounts.
Jays absolutely need to trade Vlad. Bo and Vlad are the only bargaining chips the Jays have beyond 2025. They have no farm system. They have nobody else tradeable to get anything in return. If Vlad and Bo walk for no return the Jays are screwed. Its very unlikely the Jays are going to get any loyalty buddy deals from these guys when they hit FA. They are going to want max contracts and the Jays wont pony up. They are gone.
If Atkins trades Vladdy, he will spend the next offseasons trying to overpay for a player of Vladdys caliber. His stupidity of waiting sign Vladdy to an extension will now cost the Jay's one of the best homegrown talents in the teams history. Atkins is a clown and should have been fired after the Kikuchi debacle in the playoffs.😮
@@DarkJediForce If anything they will end up overpaying for another Springer type player. Maybe quadruple down on a couple more gold glovers with no offense.
The only problem with the Mets waiting for next year is waiting for next year! Maybe if it cost us One top prospect and Vlad he will extend with us maybe the Mets do it to get the show on the road a year earlier! Obviously, I have no idea, but if I was a betting man, I would say the Mets would be the favorite to sign Vlady in the free agent market with his friends, Soto and Alvarez already on the team n the Mets would be the east cost dodgers! People think the Mets are done spending because of the Soto deal! Right now they are adjusted payroll 230 million that’s all… two years ago their payroll was 350 million. They are far from done! I wouldn’t be shocked if it meant getting a couple more superstars we go over 350 million
The two idiots at head office for the Blue Jays have screwed up the Guerrero file should have extended him two years ago before the shit hit the fan ,too little too late .
While Dylan Cease looks like a top of the rotation starter. He does possess the ability to make it happen as a top of the rotation starter. But now, entering the 2025 season and as a Dodgers fan, the only thing that I think about regarding him now is that he was completely demolished during his 2 starts in the 2024 NLDS against the Dodgers. It was definitely not what a "top tier" starter is paid to do!
You don't believe that. If you did, it would have to apply to Kershaw also. No yeah buts. If you like him during the regular season but not the postseason, then the reasoning would have to be consistent.
Trade Vladdy and Bo and start the rebuild. Take whatever you can get. The franchise can only go further if you re-build again but that has to be done by getting rid of the front office first. It’s time to accept this Shapiro Atkins duo was a complete flop and move on
Jays have no hope at playoffs. They have a worse team than last season. Their star pitchers are aging. They cant drive in runs. There will de desperate teams out there who will give up prospects for Vlad and Bo during the 2nd half of next season.
Trading vlad makes no sense. He is the face of the team, and they need to sell tickets. They’d rather wait till the deadline or let him walk than trade him now. If they trade him they’d have to do a firesale and all the new renovations they did would be wasted money
@ if he leaves then he leaves. The best thing they can do is give a 110% effort to extend him, or resign him in free agency. It’s bad business to trade him, even if it could end up better to have traded him for the team on the field in the end

I misspoke during the Orioles/Jones portion of the video...I said Coby Mayo, but I meant Connor Norby.
Norby’s a marlin?
Big fan Tim. It’s easy to get names confused. Don’t beat yourself up.
It's ok, Ralph Kiner said George Strawberry. And in an august game, said Doug Sisk , leads the NL in RBI, with 95, as he came into a game in St. Louis
the Soto deal was bad for baseball. Every other guy out there who can hit a HR will want his value doubled. It's a bad direction. I've no doubt fans will pay for this in ticket prices and concessions. I hope the Mets get burned with Soto.
In my opinion it will go down as the worst contract in the history of sports, he will be like pujols by 31-32 DH for the Mets.
Besides Yankees, no other team will be able to pay anyone 700+m for the next 10 years, now that Dodgers and Mets have one 700+m guy on the team now.
The market is the market … if teams are willing to pay for it, it is what it is.
😂the Mets sign one guy and everyone is in an uproar.The Yankees has been overpaying players for the last 30 years. Give me a break shut up already.
Salty jealous fans lol. I went to 2 Mets game last year and this up coming season i already bought 4 game tickets. Worry about your cheap team stop hating on the Mets

Sad time to be a Jays fan
Well it's better than being an angels fan where you keep the superstar too long and don't trade them.and get nothing
Isn’t that always the case..they’re always irrelevant since the early 90’s and Joe Carter 😂😂
It's been a sad time for at least a couple of years.
sad times every since AA was let go for Atkins and Shapiro, the two clowns!

Wish the Mariners would trade for Arraez. We could use a consistent bat who walks and doesn't strike out.
He’s in the bottom 3% for walk rate in mlb
Your comments on Cease is spot on

Mets welcome Vlad 😏
@Gemz0001 At least the Mets will be a contending team they still need pitching though.
Baseball reference has ACE's listed as representing Cease. I think Boras used to be his agent

Trade them both
Pirates just traded an MLB ready pitcher. But yeah can see them trading a prospect
The Jays should have extended Vladdy before Sotos deal Soto sets the bar and then Vladdy asking way more then he's worth

TORONTO IS A DEVELOPMENT
TEAM, WE ALWAYS TRADE THE
PLAYERS WHO HAVE POTENTIAL
Vlad to the Orioles? Think, Ryan Mountcastle is insane in Toronto. How about this trade:
Orioles receive: Vladimir Guerro Jr.
Blue Jays receive: Ryan Mountcastle + Samuel Basallo + Bryan Baker
No team will likely trade anything for Jr unless Jr signed a long term contract and Jr isn't willing to do that now unless its 500 million+.
Can you do some stan cease mock trades
I would trade Vlad jr in a second to Seattle for Castillo and a prospect !!!
It begins! Vlad thinks he is worth 500-600. He wont be the only thinking like this, as im sure agents of super star players like a Vlad will be asking for ridiculous amounts.

dodgers sign 700$ man and won championship.
dodgers set the standart so Mets must win 2025 championship !!!!
not worth 700mil in my opinion...didn't do anything special in playoffs

@rayfinkle9369 very tasty backtrack incoming... (or hypocritical excemption)
Vladi will be a NY Mutt next yr if not this one.
Imo Tucker should get paid more than Soto..good luck Cubbies
State the case for such an outlandish statement
Time to trade Shatkins for a minor league GM. Any GM would be an improvement.
Maybe Darvish told Padres Sasaki is going to sign with them ……. 😀
Maybe Jesus lezardo and someone else for cease and a prospect or 2 weaker prospect
Greed is going rampant with these players .
He will sign with the bluejays. Not to worry
Odds are….if they don’t extend him before FA then he is gone.
They will trade them the organization they play for are profit > championships
Vlad to the cubs book it
Maybe the Padres expect to get Roki.... and that makes selling Cease critical
Trade Vladdy and Bo and start the rebuild. Take whatever you can get. The franchise can only go further if you re-build again but that has to be done by getting rid of the front office first. It’s time to accept this Shapiro Atkins duo was a complete flop and move on
Vladdy to the RED SOX (Im delusional)
Blue jays front office are trash, they need to just sell the team if im being honest.
Jays have no hope at playoffs. They have a worse team than last season. Their star pitchers are aging. They cant drive in runs. There will de desperate teams out there who will give up prospects for Vlad and Bo during the 2nd half of next season.
Yeah don't trade vladamir who supposedly refuses to sign a extension and get absolutely nothing ......yeah ur a Genius lol Eye roll lol
Mariners should trade for Vlad. I said the same thing this past deadline. They have the farm to get it done
Trading vlad makes no sense. He is the face of the team, and they need to sell tickets. They’d rather wait till the deadline or let him walk than trade him now. If they trade him they’d have to do a firesale and all the new renovations they did would be wasted money
He wont be the face of the team when he hits free agency. What will the Jays do then? At some point it all comes crashing down.
@ if he leaves then he leaves. The best thing they can do is give a 110% effort to extend him, or resign him in free agency. It’s bad business to trade him, even if it could end up better to have traded him for the team on the field in the end
It got pretty quiet now on the free agents signings
God the pirates are such a trash organization why would u trade jones with so many years of control and him only being 23
MY YANKEES!!!
LF BELLINGER
1B GUERRERO
2B DONOVAN OR LOWE?
SP SASAKI
Yanks don’t have the farm system
I would not trust vlad on a 1 year deal he will screw the Yankees and be a year rental than sign with the Mets and Soto
LOL. You Yankee fans dream on.
