I GUARANTEE Judge doesn’t care how much Soto gets, just so long as it’s from the Yankees. Hey Hal, get this guy, and you’ll have Judge’s successor when he retires.
Just finished this Buster Olney interview..Derek ..Your channel has just leveled up..This interview put PINSTRIPE Territory☆ onto another level of class & Sophistication,,, This is the high class bracket of Superior Analysis.. Extremely well done..
The difference between the the Mets and the Yankees is Judge. No offensive but there is no prestige in being a Mets player but being a Yankees legend will last forever. Money isn't everything.
No hard disagree he’s just one player of many Yankees on another team he’ll or a player like him would get a statue elsewhere no way this isn’t 1955 anymore also stop comparing a team born in 1900s vs teams born in the 60s 70s 90s that’s not even fair you can compare the Red Sox Braves cardinals dodgers giants but not those other teams history
Great interview with Buster. And yes I always knew that Houston will always make it and will be the team that needs to be beaten by the Yankees in order to get to the World Series. Should be exciting
There is room for two stars to coexist... Jeter and ARod matched when it came to their stardom and Judge/Soto have been the perfect compliment to eachother in year 1. That argument is null
Guys there is about a 2% chance the Yankees retain Soto! That's why it's SO critical that we win the WS this year! We just barely are going to win the ALE WITH Soto! Imagine this team (Torres, LeMahieu, Holmes) WITHOUT him! 4th place finish!
Congratulations on landing this interview brother youre stepping up your game!!! On another note i wish the Yankees didnt DFA Michael Tonkin so quickly he was so valuable the first half of the season and was going through a tough stretch shouldve had a longer leash they couldve used him! Also..they need to use The Martian as their DH..his defense is a liability...and Stanton needs to sit. Verdugo has good stats in the playoffs.
I think Soto will go for the highest offer based on his responses to questions on and off all season. sseems like it's the payday that will count. I'm thinking mets or Dodgers will offer him more. Hal is too worried about Payroll which is kind of sad.. With the price of season tickets and just tickets in general and the amount of fans at every game, why not pay Soto and keep all the fans with him and udge being a huge draw.
Great interview. I don’t like some of his predictions as a Yankees fan 😅. I’m probably partial but I just don’t see Hal letting Soto walk. I think the outcome of the Soto contract will determine his legacy.
If Soto leaves… move Judge back to RF, Dominguez in CF and move Jazz to 2B.. (let Gleyber leave) then sign a power 3B and 1B with the money they would have spent on Soto
Hal Steinbrenner isn't a winner, and could care less about winning. If Soto signs elsewhere because that's what he wants, so be it. But, if he leaves, because the Yankees were outbid, Hal needs to do the right thing, and sell the Yankees.
Sotto already has a Ring and knows that the Legacy with the Yankees is worth more than a couple millions more. In that small park where he surpassed his own homerun season high, he know can make meaningful history with Judge and after Judge.
Soto has one more test. Post season with NY. If he hits well and plays well then yes, he gets a blank check. If he hits 205 w few or no homers and they get knocked out early, there is no blank check. He maybe gets 500 or 550 for 12-15 years and if the Mets or someone else pays more, so be it. Go out and use that money to get two corner outfielders, a second baseman and a pitcher.
As a long die hard Yankee fan I am hoping Aaron Boone does not have an option for next year when loser draw this year. He is not the manager of the Yankees need to take them to the World Series. We need a Billy Martin Joe Tori combination Aaron Boone has had what five years to take the Yankees to the World Series got beaten out by the Astros back to back years wasn’t even close. Aaron Boone does not make the moves he should and he makes moves he shouldn’t move, I’ve watched every single game this year and my Christmas wish the only gift I want for Christmas is that Aaron Boone will not be back next year.
Yanks can easily afford Soto -he is already making 30 mil - not resigning Torres and Rizzo brings 25m back into the payroll - they can go max 14x45 = 630m - anything higher - let him go
Juan soto s First year with the Yankees they're in the playoffs and maybe the world series if he enjoys that kind of atmosphere especially with the Yankees soto just might stick around and eventually get the kind of money he's looking for without leaving the Yankees I believe he may stick around let's see what happens after the season ends
I still say if Soto is going to sighn with the Mets let him go and go for Santander in free agency and that will give us extra money to sighn a good starting pitcher and a 3rd baseman.
Soto extension means lack of talent for the team. Cole. Judge. Stanton. Rodon. So much money tied into those guys that's still owed. Yankees will not be the biggest money offer. Keep Soto and run Ben Rice, and a few no-names, we could be looking at a repeat of 2023 if they do sign or don't. It's crazy how bad of a position they are in going into an off-season. Truly a "WIN NOW" "WORLD SERIES OR BUST" team.
As a O’s fan I hope Soto returns to NL. That bat in front of Judge is a lethal combination that is without doubt the toughest two outs in all of baseball.
David Sampson also said that as a new owner Steve Choen got taxes breaks that were coming to an end that he wouldn’t get any longer that would factor into the Mets spending
I watched Stanton for years in miami playing the outfield, Soto is a great hitter but he gives me Stanton vibes playing out there, Stanton is 34 now and moves like a statue. Offer a contract he walks, he walks, he wants money over legacy. This team in 2025 is going to look completely different. Enjoy what we got now.
A couple key differences between Soto and Stanton: 1) Soto has a far more sustainable physical build than Stanton 2) Stanton played on turf in Miami for the first several seasons of his career, which is rough on the knees and hips of position players 3) Soto has a far more repeatable, consistent swing than Stanton, as well as elite plate discipline
I don’t think it’s going to be either team, unless Soto has a great tax lawyer. I frankly don’t understand how any NY (or NJ) team can compete in the salary market with the onerous tax rates. Best place to play is a Florida or Texas teams. Soto is 25 years old. He has many years ahead of him.
Neither Florida team can afford him, and the Rangers are hampered by the regional sports network thing. Astros have Kyle Tucker but I could see them getting creative. Plus Texas isn’t NY when it comes to sponsorships and so forth
It will be nothing short of a miracle If he doesn’t walk. The Yankees work on a budget, it not about WINNING. That will add at least 10 more years to the FIFTEEN YEARS of embarrassment.
The Astros still currently have a losing record against teams above .500. Last I checked those playoff teams they will face are all above .500. They might seem like they’ve regrouped but in reality their division is an absolute dumpster fire and they’ve benefited greatly from facing three of the worst teams 13 times. They’re not what they once were that’s for sure. Not scared at all of that team.
I know no one wants to think like this but where do you think the Yankees pivot with their off-season spending if Juan Soto signs elsewhere? All of a sudden, you have all of this money that you were going to allocate to one guy and now have to/get to spend it elsewhere? The Yankee infield has a lot of questions for next season. The only guy I'm guessing we're 100% sure of is Jazz Chisholm and he could be at second or third base. Anthony Volpe will probably be there at short but he's been pinch hitting for in big spots lately--maybe the team is beginning to have some creeping doubts about his future. Alex Bergman of the Astros will be out there. I don't really think this is a possibility but Pete Alonso would be out there. Wouldn't that be something, if Juan Soto and Pete Alonso switched New York teams. Willy Adames is going to look to cash in on a huge year, somewhere. Could the Yankees sign him and put him at second base?
The New York Yankees need to get DFA Gleyber Torres🙄🤦🏻♂️ The New York Yankees need to keep Juan Soto has a full time in the Bronx NY and keep Alex Verdugo The only person that is the problem For the Yankees Is Gleyber Torres Brain Cashman please DFA Gleyber Torres🙄🤦🏻♂️ It is embarrass To see that Gleyber Torres Is always off his game Ridiculous
The Yankees have a lot of bad contracts , I don’t see them signing Soto . The team won’t sign Soto not because they don’t want to but because Cashman has handicapped this organization with bad signings.
But what if what he wants is to be the face of the franchise with the Mets? Cohen can afford to beat the Yankees offer by $100 million according to Buster.
@@PinstripeTerritoryyeah cohen can be a wildcard and maybe he will be financially irresponsible to his advantage to blow the Yankees out of the water. In terms of being the face, perhaps the Yankees can frame it to Soto that he will inevitably be the face/future going forward since he is six years younger than judge?
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you. Buster is one of my favorite writers having been basically brought up on his analysis. Great job with the interview!! Solid, confident, and your sense of humor shone the entire time!
It’s REALLY scary to think of who the bargain basement players would be that Cashman would get, if they don’t sign Soto. Another Verdugo? Another Stanton? Will Judge become our version of Trout, never winning a championship, surrounded by meh players?
@@PinstripeTerritory are you optimistic? Really? Knowing how this disorganized organization is? I been rooting for the Yanks since the Mantle days, yes I’m old, but I can tell when it’s not working, and this iteration ain’t. Hal could make 7-8 billion, and go do something he actually has real interest in, rather than giving Cashman carte Blanche on the discount bin. I WANT the Yanks to get to another WS before I die. I would think, given the resources the Yanks have, and the fact that it’s been 15 F’n YEARS since, there would be more urgency, than just the usual pap, thrown out for the masses. Again, I love your show, but I guess I’m a realist, but I’m not a defeatist. Nothing would thrill my sports soul more than to see Judge lead/carry this team to a title or three, understand that. I don’t trust the organization, the way it’s being run, and the ones who are running it. Go Yanks……..
Soto would be a FOOL to leave! Hey Juan, if you're reading this, see the stories of Robinson Cano and Albert Pujols. Both didn't realize how good they had it, and left for maximum greed. They suffered the rest of their careers for years and years, and totally regetted their stupid, greedy moves. Be smart, see the big picture, and don't be a greedy fool.
soto's gone. he doesn't want to play second fiddle to judge and also for a cheapskate owner. the way the yankees handle their prospects it's no wonder that jasson is showing some apathy now. they screwed him over all season and then only bring him up because of pressure from the fans and verdugo's horrible production.
@@PinstripeTerritory lackadaisical defense in the outfield, batting under .200. they left him out to dry in the minors while verdugo stunk it up. cashman and boone have a track record of wasting prospects.
@@PinstripeTerritory lazy, bad same thing. the talent is there the effort has not been. i personally believe that he is somewhat disenchanted with the management. you can't blame the kid. no team has handled their prospects worse than the yankees in the cashman era.
You could be right. But the issue I see is that the Yankees are day and night different from last year thanks to Soto. If they think they are going to get worse without him, they are keeping him.
I think the yanks will be competitive with the offer but I think he's gonna take the biggest bag. No loyalty for Soto he will go with the biggest offer and Mets will probably make him a captain or something
@@leroycharlesdiazurena9595there is no question they will be weaker without him. No one player can match his production, enthusiasm, and winning personality.
I don’t know where Soto will end up but the Yankees will make a competitive offer. If by blank check you mean something like $600 million, then sure, maybe they won’t go that far. But they wouldn’t have given up the package they did for him without the intention of trying to retain him and not put their best foot forward. They’ll definitely be in the mix.
Nice interview! No offense to the other podcast analyst you use on your channel but you need to lose the "Jake" type co-host that you obviously outshine.
Soto will go if the other team is offering a huge difference. But if they are offering 10 o 20 millions more.. Neh, he will stay. Taxes will eat those extra millions.
I’d rather see NYY overpay for a known quantity like Soto, instead of letting Cashman mis-spend another $50m/yr
I GUARANTEE Judge doesn’t care how much Soto gets, just so long as it’s from the Yankees. Hey Hal, get this guy, and you’ll have Judge’s successor when he retires.
World-class interview. Outstanding
Thank you!
Just finished this Buster Olney interview..Derek ..Your channel has just leveled up..This interview put PINSTRIPE Territory☆ onto another level of class & Sophistication,,, This is the high class bracket of Superior Analysis.. Extremely well done..
If Soto leaves then Why not get two or three other players instead with the money
Wow! Congratulations on interviewing Buster. 🎉 He's a respected baseball writer.
Ugh I really hope Soto stays with the Yankees and we end up beating Houston in the post
The story of Ricky ledee could be a feature film...what a miracle player with a great journey 😊
Congrats to Buster Olney for being on Pinstripe Territory for the first time

Tremendous interview with Buster! Congratulations! Soto will never sign with the Mets. He's not stupid.
Soto resigning is key to Yankees future plans.
Great job Derek, Buster Olney!! Top of the food chain there!!
The Yankees would be foolish to let the 2nd best player in baseball to let him walk.
I feel like he stays. He looks happy in the Bronx. Hal will get it done.
Congratulations on landing this interview brother youre stepping up your game!!!

550 million with incentives and a ticket to monument park and the hall of fame.
and then have no money to sign anyone for years
This was wonderful 👍 good intelligent baseball talk
I have the Yankees years! Finished reading it last year. Such a great read
Excellent show
I don’t care if they sign Soto- think of all the fixes they could make with $50 million !!!!
They probably wouldn’t spend it
Soto is retiring a Yankee.
Great interview brotha!
I think Soto will go for the highest offer based on his responses to questions on and off all season. sseems like it's the payday that will count. I'm thinking mets or Dodgers will offer him more.

Verdugo, Torres and Rizzo contract money is gone and will go to Soto
Soto stays he knows he has a chance to win championships over his ti e with judge and Yankees. Bank it
Soto wants to win, not just a fat check.... If not he would have stayed in DC
Great interview!
Thanks
Verdugo, Torres and Rizzo contract money is gone and goes to Soto
Congratulations on this interview! Outstanding job.
Awesome interviews Derek! Let’s go Yankees puñeta 🇵🇷
Hal’s legacy will be based all on if Soto stays or walk
Soto has to stay. Pay him Judge money. Maybe a tad more. But not Otani money. 10 years 450 million sounds about right.
He’s already turned down more than that. Scott Boras would hang up the phone
I don’t think it’s going to be either team, unless Soto has a great tax lawyer. I frankly don’t understand how any NY (or NJ) team can compete in the salary market with the onerous tax rates. Best place to play is a Florida or Texas teams. Soto is 25 years old. He has many years ahead of him.

Thanks for the great guest, love the hair!
Out catcher is not hot
Out 1st baseman is not hot
Our 3rd baseman is not hot
Our shortstop is not hot
Our left fielder is not hot
Our DH is not hot...
At this snapshot in time - things can change in a heartbeat, you know that.
It will be nothing short of a miracle If he doesn’t walk. The Yankees work on a budget, it not about WINNING. That will add at least 10 more years to the FIFTEEN YEARS of embarrassment.

Soto is staying. Cashman and Hal knows there will be no bigger mistake. Then losing Soto
At the end of the day, it's not their decision though - which is what makes this scary.
@@PinstripeTerritory It isn't. I think they'll give him whatever he wants

We have lots of contributors here, and we are trying to develop more. I think they’re great and lots of others do too.
Boone is gone
12:27 worth noting ARod kicked Boras out if negotiations in 07 to stay.
Could see Soto doing that if he loves the team like Alex did
Soto will go if the other team is offering a huge difference. But if they are offering 10 o 20 millions more.. Neh, he will stay. Taxes will eat those extra millions.
Yankees will be fine if Soto wants to leave he will end up regretting it in the end get rid of Boros he’s a cancer
if that’s what you want we will just call you Cano
Wells was terrible down the stretch . He blew it
