Whatever you have to tell yourself. Bottom line is if the Reds offered him that money and the Mets didn’t he would be in Cincinnati right now saying the exact same thing.
curious to see how he handles things when it isn’t all so happy happy joy joy. Can’t be worst then Thumbs down, right? Lolmets gonna be put to the test
Why is anyone surprised that Aaron Judge did not reach out to Juan Soto? Mere minutes after losing the WS in heartbreaking fashion, Soto told the press, with a smile on his face, that all 30 teams had a chance to sign him. Not "Hey, we just lost. We can have that conversation later." Nope. Knowing what we know about Judge, does that sound like someone he would reach out to during contract negotiations?
@@KikoJonesUSA considering how bad Judge sucks in the playoffs he should have been begging Soto to come back. Why would Soto want to play with someone who disappears in the playoffs like Judge?
Lol you guys really believe that at the point they were at (money wise) that a few extra million dollars was the deciding factor. I could give you a solid argument as to why it was many other factors if you wanted but I’m pretty sure you already know what they are it’s just hard to fathom. I get it.
Money was definitely the big factor, but Yankees and Boston both offered $760 Million. The deciding factor likely was all the other things about the Mets. When everything was so close, but we will never know and just move on.
Cohens net worth grew from 16 Billion in 2021 to 22 Billion in 2024. $765M is nothing. And that doesn't even count the amount of money Soto will generate FOR Cohen.
your not factoring in the value he retains from signing him. tickets, merch, hell i bet the valuation of the team increased! longest contract in sports history, its a win win
Also, the 3.5 percent would only be if he got $765 million today lol. Steve Cohen likely will double or triple his networth in the next 5-10 years. As they say the rich gets richer.
@@richardsiccone I bet... I'm just talking contract max from the original signing. It can get bigger, of course, or less even depending on the parameters set. I can't sit here and pretend that I know exactly how this will play out. I'm not that silly or full of my of myself! Of course, the team value can go up, and the rich can and will get richer... blah blah blah! The team value will increase faster than inflation alone traditionally! But you can't argue the current facts and contract signed! I live in reality, and the reality of TODAY! And as of today... IF the contract was to play out exactly as signed, it would be around 3.5% of his net worth. I bet Cohen himself wouldn't hedge a bet over how much money he will have in 15 years. I don't have a crystal ball... I was just having a laugh. It's not that serious. Lol
Its not about the Yankees. He played one season there. They did nothing wrong. He liked the way the Mets treated him, their vision of the future, and they gave him the best offer.
@@sclafantasythat’s not how it was said. Even Borras said they were told by the Yankees that they reached their limit and are making their final offer so they didn’t bother to go back.
The truth is the Mets wanted him more. Cohen would’ve kept upping the bid more more until they got to $900 million and Hal knew this so he wanted to hold onto his dignity and I don’t blame him. Cohen literally would’ve kept going higher. He has $22 billion and wasn’t going home without his man.
Well, they didn't convince him that he just had to stay a Yankee, either. The money difference wasn't so wide that it could pry someone away from a place he truly loved to be.
A 26 year old journey man on his 4th team, 😅 If they have a bad season next year the Mets will see the Soto Sour with his bad attitude reputation that made him unpopular with other player's and a journey man.
This signi g reminds me when BELTRAN had that great post season playing for the ASTROS and the broadcaster said that BELTRAN would be a free agent the N.Y. teams were salivating at the opportunity of signing him.
Tiki tried to make it out like you can't make close connections playing for a team for one year, yet Sean Manaea had half the Mets in his wedding. I think it says a lot more than Tiki wants to admit, that Soto hasn't talked to any of his former teammates.
He didn’t say one bad thing about the Yankees and said that Aaron Judge was one of the best if not the best player he’s ever played with. It’s not personal like people are making it out to be. He’s also going to be number 1 in queens and will be the top jersey seller and endorsement earner in queens. Something he never would’ve taken away from judge in the Bronx.
I agree with Tiki. He just came here via trade. He knew it would also help push the offer higher if he proved he could play in New York. They didn’t talk. So want. I would want to be left alone too. It’s a lot of money, offers, etc going around. I don’t wanna talk with other players right now. He has proved since the Nats, he is a mercenary. Mercenaries aren’t loyal to anything but the high and almighty dollar. 😂
I just say that he believed in himself and had faith that it was going to work out. He wasn’t going to settle for any less than he felt he deserved. Plus, he had Boras chirping in his ear the whole time. He owed nothing to anyone at that point and you could laugh at him all you want because in the end he was right and earned almost twice as much as he would have had he accepted that offer from the Nats.
So Soto isn't really 26, huh. Because, yeah, Matt from Florida knows. LOL Like Steve Cohen who's making this investment wouldn't do his due diligence. Seriously, what rock do some of these callers climb out from under.
@362chop yup he's that young and that horrible at defense and base running, and he can't steal bases.... 51 million for a player who can only hit.... Sheesh
@@jasonmartinez7202 better than $40 million for Judge who disappears in the playoffs when it matters. Yankees will never win anything with him as their best player.
I think people are forgetting that Juan was 11 and in a different country the last time the Yankees won. During his tenure he’s seen them get close and lose. People are acting like he should be enamored with the pin stripe mystique. There really no longer is one. They have fallen to the pack. Nothing last forever.
@@KikoJonesUSAall true. But that team offered him much more when it comes to total contract. My comment was based on the idea he should have taken the hometown discount due to the Yankees. Those days are gone for none homegrown talent. And make no mistake, the Mets had to offer more for the very reason you said.
I’m convinced the Mets pitch was that Juan Soto can be a great with the Yankees and just be another name on the list in Yankee history. But on the other hand (along with the money & the owners relationship with players and families) with what the Mets are building roster wise he has an opportunity to be the greatest player in the history of the franchise and his name will be etched in stone as the savior for as long as the game will ever be around. Juan Soto winning a championship with the Mets would be way different than winning one with the Yankees. If you angle that correctly with the right wording/ emotion behind it sounds very enticing! Juan Soto with the Mets can be the biggest star New York (in any sport ) has had in a very very long time whereas with the Yankees it will always be Aaron judge until he retires. Cohen definitely made it clear he and his family will be treated as royalty basically. Yankee fans like to act like he made a selfish decision going after strictly the money but the offers were actually pretty close so those factors I just mentioned definitely played a huge role in his decision.
Of course he took the money. That said the Yankees could have been the team that gave him most money( sorry Sox and Blue Jays). They werent because of the other stuff he said.
Soto was going to the highest bidder, even if the difference was $1, he was going to the highest bidder. The difference between Hal and Cohen is that Hal had a line that he did not want to exceed, while for Cohen, if money was the determining factor in signing Soto, he was not going to be out-bid, money was not the issue for Cohen, but is was for Hal. I am also more f=confident that COehn will continue to obtain talent to surround Soto and build a roster capable of winning a Championship, whereas, I had little confidence that Hal would allow Cashman to spend much more after signing Soto, they would have went about filling out the remaining roster spots on the cheap, getting reclamation projects, coming off injuries or bad seasons, and bringing up whoever they could from the minors, whether or not they were ready for prime-time. I also do not believe Cashman knows how to construct a Championship capable roster. He inherited the core 4 from Michaels and Watson, and once they aged out he was unable to draft and develop players of similar capabilities, shifting the focus on building a roster filled with players all taking a similar approach at the plate, swing for the fences on every at bat, strike-out 26%-40% of their at bats, bat .200 - .230, hit home runs with varying degrees of frequency. There is only one Judge on the team, but even the guy hitting 10 home-runs, strikes out 125-150 times per season, batting .230 or lower. That is the Cashman way.
It’s very simple, the Mets have a predominantly Latino clubhouse and their leaders are Latino. MLB Latino community is a tight knit group, they all know each other from young. He’s playing with his boys 🤷🏽♂️
I'm a Yankee fan and it stings he won't be with us next year. But ill never be mad a player chases a bigger bag in a business where teams have no quams about and are even celebrated for manipulating the service time and incentive bonuses of players. Its down to the yankees to move on and I will say the Mets still have work to do to overcome the Dodgers.
💯 as a Mets fan there’s nothing to be celebrated here. Yes we won over a good player because our owner is worth $22 billion and this is a completely new feeling that we have never had before. But that doesn’t mean we’re going to win a World Series by any means. And the fact that the Braves and Dodgers are as good as they are and our pitching is what it is at this point, people should be worried instead of basking in the glory of somebody putting on a uniform. We need more than one person. We have a fan favorite in Pete Alonso that still hasn’t been signed. He’s a guaranteed 35-45 home runs a year that they’re just gonna let walk? In my mind it would totally negate the Soto signing and then some. And anyone that doesn’t see this probably knows nothing about baseball. Losing your homegrown talent that’s dedicated to your team and rakes is such a negative that I can’t enjoy this until Pete is signed. I know he’s not as good as Aaron Judge but the same feeling would be felt over here as if you lost Aaron Judge, just to put it in perspective. He puts up massive power numbers, but he’s also a fan favorite that we’ve grown to love over six years. Imagine if you guys lost the judge when he was up for contract? It wouldn’t just be his numbers you missed.
@@Robert-hr6pj i’m a Mets fan and I don’t agree. Yes I was excited when it happened, but celebrating? Absolutely not. This all means nothing if we don’t win a championship. The rest of the league just laughs at the Mets no matter who we have on our team. The only way to stop that is by winning. I mean, we could go to the World Series and play til game seven and get barely edged out and they’ll still have shit to say. You don’t shut them up unless you win. That’s when I’ll be happy. Right now yes it’s exciting that we got this player because it’s never happened before, but it’s not the same as winning. I’m excited that we have Steve Cohen. But we still have holes to fill. I’m confident that he’s gonna do his best to fill them, but not confident that we’re going to find the talent even if he could afford to buy it. So I won’t be celebrating until next November during the Mets parade.
@Dan-tt8sn I'd say celebrate because you did something you never do before Cohen which is sign a guy the Yankees desperately wanted. Signing montas and clay Holmes doesn't move the needle as far as catching the Dodgers this year and that Soto contract (as with 95% of all free agent deals) will look horrible on the back end but Soto gives you guys a 7-8 year window if you can surround him with the right pieces.
The caller from Florida with an all time awful call lol (stay in Florida) Racist calling Juan Soto older than he is, stubbornly and intentionally not calling Cleveland the guardians and then boiling down Sotos greatness to a single play. My dude, he hits like Ted Williams, get your brain checked.
It is amazing how delusional Mets fans truly are. Do they realize that Soto has a lifetime .285 batting average and never hit more than 35 home runs until this past year. Oh, but he is going to help them win the World Series, okay. Tell us who the ace pitcher is on your beloved team. It is a wonderful thing that Steinbrenner did not get fleeced into that contract in terms of length and money.
The Yankees do not have a Dodgers problem, but the Mets do. The Yankees will have an easy time reaching the World Series, but the Mets need to go through the Dodgers.
@@xh3598 I would be pissed if my team went to a World Series and I paid to go to a game and that’s how they played. This is not one that you wanna brag about. Talk about the other 27 that you won. OK I get it but this is one you wanna forget about.
Could you imagine being 26 and just got a 75 mil signing bonus on an offer that is paying you over 765 Million dollars??? Jesus the party I would have when I signed that 🤣 me and Juan are very different 🤣 I would be passed out at some bar after paying for all the drinks all night 🤣 just throwing that money around 🤣
Cohn messed up on this one trying to prove a point and stick it to the Yankees . No player on earth is worth this . Cohn got duped and will find out as Mets fans will the hard way . 765 for a poor fielder and base runner . Just unbelievable.
Is it not possibpe he became friends with Lindor over 5 years and wanted to play with the NY Puertoricans? The Mets are basic the spanish contingent if NY. The NYY are the white guys
I wanted to know. What do you plan to do with all that money? What kind of cars? Houses? Art? Etc that you like you would spend it on? Like it is so much money that most of us cannot even fathom it. It’s almost a BILLION dollars to ONE player. I mean yeah Ohtani got good money but the dude proved he is a two way player. Soto is not Ohtani. He is good. But that is INSANE MONEY😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good for him and his Family. No doubt setup for generations down the line. 😂
Matt from white plains saying I don’t care about Yankees or Mets and then spending 3 minutes disparaging Soto and saying he’s not 26, trust me, and he’s only had a few great moments but it doesn’t mean he’s a superstar. Then saying tiki I played minor leagues trust me, I know what I’m talking about. Basically talking shit about Soto (clearly cuz he’s not a yankee anymore) is like someone saying I’m not racist, I have a (insert a race here) friend comment. 🤡
A 26 year old journey man on his 4th team, 😅 If they have a bad season next year the Mets will see the Soto Sour with his bad attitude reputation that made him unpopular with other player's and a journey man.
the first two teams traded him because they could not resign him. might as well trade him and get some prospects back. the third team is butthurt because he chose the fourth team over them
Positive Tommy is such a yankee hater 😂 . Positive tommy turned into Confrontational tommy over night. He's so focused on yankee fans. The Yankees aren't the Braves or the phillies and they aren't the dodgers! Lmao. I'll bite my nails once you dominate your division properly. Little brother.
It is ridiculous all of the gloating from Met fans on getting Soto. First of all Ohtani is a better player than Soto hands down. And don't forget the California Angels had 2 superstars Ohtani and Trout and did not even make the playoffs. The obnoxiousness coming from Met fans whose team has not won the World Series for 38 years is actually funny when you think about it. Soto had very inflated statistics playing in a short right field and a wind tunnel where almost every flyball to right field ended up being a home run. Soto also benefited from having Judge in the lineup. I as a Yankee fan say good riddance to him. And I am actually glad that the Mets will be stuck with him for the next 15 years as the Mets have NO opt out, only he does. That will turn out to be a horrendous contract based on the money and years for the Mets. He will probably spend most of his remaining career as a DH. Don't forget what Keith Hernandez said about his awful play in the outfield. They will pay the guy more than 50 million dollars per year and they can't even play him in right field, that is pathetic.
It’s dejavu of Cohen year 1. Everyone’s so happy that the Coupons were gone, Lindor was the greatest FA signing ever, blah blah blah. “LolMets is dead” they kept saying. It won’t die until a World series victory but that doesn’t matter for the Mets are not perpetual champions of the offseason BayBEEEEE!
It will be a waste of time signing SOTO if MINI MARKET STEARNS doesn't surround him with a solid supporting cast. That means that MINI MARKET STEARNS has to sign ALONSO and not a 34 yr old CHRISTIAN WALKER who's got at the most two or three yrs. left on his career.
The migrant has the dinero now to buy alot of tacos and jelapena 😅I did'nt know if the Mets hat will fit on Sotos big broccoli hair, with $765M need a decent haircut.
Hal tried. He offered way more than we thought he would. We loved him, he loves the money in the bank. With a salary cap he'd probably still be in pinstripes
im happy we got soto. but is he really 26 ? he look older than his age. just like i heard albert pujols was older than his age. alot DR players lie about their age in DR

@@Dan-tt8sn there’s plenty to be celebrated here. We just signed the most coveted free agent since Arod. What a dumb comment.
@@Robert-hr6pj i’m a Mets fan and I don’t agree. Yes I was excited when it happened, but celebrating? Absolutely not. This all means nothing if we don’t win a championship. The rest of the league just laughs at the Mets no matter who we have on our team. The only way to stop that is by winning. I mean, we could go to the World Series and play til game seven and get barely edged out and they’ll still have shit to say. You don’t shut them up unless you win. That’s when I’ll be happy. Right now yes it’s exciting that we got this player because it’s never happened before, but it’s not the same as winning. I’m excited that we have Steve Cohen. But we still have holes to fill. I’m confident that he’s gonna do his best to fill them, but not confident that we’re going to find the talent even if he could afford to buy it. So I won’t be celebrating until next November during the Mets parade.
@Dan-tt8sn I'd say celebrate because you did something you never do before Cohen which is sign a guy the Yankees desperately wanted.
Signing montas and clay Holmes doesn't move the needle as far as catching the Dodgers this year and that Soto contract (as with 95% of all free agent deals) will look horrible on the back end but Soto gives you guys a 7-8 year window if you can surround him with the right pieces.
Did he do the “ shuffle”?
How about this. Cashman said we are not matching the Mets so dont waste your time.
Soto lost his home run patty cake buddy Judge, maybe will do the La Cucaracha dance with Lindor 😅
Soto is a Gerber Baby 😂
The caller from Florida with an all time awful call lol (stay in Florida)
Racist calling Juan Soto older than he is, stubbornly and intentionally not calling Cleveland the guardians and then boiling down Sotos greatness to a single play. My dude, he hits like Ted Williams, get your brain checked.
Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Cubans have been falsifying their ages forever. Stop the Race Hustling.
It is amazing how delusional Mets fans
truly are. Do they realize that Soto has
a lifetime .285 batting average and
never hit more than 35 home runs
until this past year. Oh, but he is going
to help them win the World Series, okay.
Tell us who the ace pitcher is on your
beloved team.
It is a wonderful thing that Steinbrenner
did not get fleeced into that contract in
terms of length and money.
The Yankees do not have a Dodgers problem, but the Mets do. The Yankees will have an easy time reaching the World Series, but the Mets need to go through the Dodgers.
Stands to reason then when the Yankees get to the World Series, then they’re gonna have the same Dodgers problem lol
Already took 2 from them without Soto last year, so...
@@Dan-tt8sn At least the Yankees are in the World Series and not the Mets.
@@xh3598 I would be pissed if my team went to a World Series and I paid to go to a game and that’s how they played. This is not one that you wanna brag about. Talk about the other 27 that you won. OK I get it but this is one you wanna forget about.
@@xh3598 yea American League sucks, congratulations. Have fun maybe getting to the World Series and never winning.
Listening to Morash’s voice after a few minutes is like chewing on tin foil
If Soto lets uncle Steve invest his millions he may retire a part owner of the Mets. 😂😂😂
Could you imagine being 26 and just got a 75 mil signing bonus on an offer that is paying you over 765 Million dollars??? Jesus the party I would have when I signed that 🤣 me and Juan are very different 🤣 I would be passed out at some bar after paying for all the drinks all night 🤣 just throwing that money around 🤣
Maybe he’s doing that tonight lol
Wow ...cloud nine for mets fan base ..definitely deserved after so many bad time..gooooo mets ...
Cohn messed up on this one trying to prove a point and stick it to the Yankees . No player on earth is worth this . Cohn got duped and will find out as Mets fans will the hard way . 765 for a poor fielder and base runner . Just unbelievable.
Is it not possibpe he became friends with Lindor over 5 years and wanted to play with the NY Puertoricans? The Mets are basic the spanish contingent if NY. The NYY are the white guys
Judge jealous
I doubt it. He’s still a Yankee. Soto is now a met 😂😂😂
@ jealous of the paper
I wanted to know. What do you plan to do with all that money? What kind of cars? Houses? Art? Etc that you like you would spend it on? Like it is so much money that most of us cannot even fathom it. It’s almost a BILLION dollars to ONE player. I mean yeah Ohtani got good money but the dude proved he is a two way player. Soto is not Ohtani. He is good. But that is INSANE MONEY😂😂😂😂😂😂 Good for him and his Family. No doubt setup for generations down the line. 😂
Judge knew he wasn’t gonna be the man anymore
Yeah you right. Thats why Judge got the MVP...because hes "Not" the man...sure😂😂😂😂
@@frankwite81 u give a dude 700 mil. He automatically the man of ur team
@@frankwite81 judge isn’t the man in the playoffs wen it counts. He’s horrible. Judge should’ve been begging Soto to come back.
Good pay day, bad deal. Every largest pay day seems to always end with biting the hand that feeds.
Matt from white plains saying I don’t care about Yankees or Mets and then spending 3 minutes disparaging Soto and saying he’s not 26, trust me, and he’s only had a few great moments but it doesn’t mean he’s a superstar. Then saying tiki I played minor leagues trust me, I know what I’m talking about. Basically talking shit about Soto (clearly cuz he’s not a yankee anymore) is like someone saying I’m not racist, I have a (insert a race here) friend comment. 🤡
Albert Pujols, another age fudger,
A 26 year old journey man on his 4th team, 😅 If they have a bad season next year the Mets will see the Soto Sour with his bad attitude reputation that made him unpopular with other player's and a journey man.
the first two teams traded him because they could not resign him. might as well trade him and get some prospects back. the third team is butthurt because he chose the fourth team over them
Ive seen enough of SHAQ, SNOOP DOG and SOTO on TV, period!!!
Evans, sometimes you're an idiot, get over the money.Of course , he's not gonna say that let's go Mets.
It think Soto meant Dyna’s Teeth.
4th team in 6 yrs? Mmmmm
What else would you expect from a26 year old to say?
All of those celebrations between Soto and judge and the rest of the teammates was a lie and and a fraud
Oh and who won mvp oh ok
Positive Tommy is such a yankee hater 😂 . Positive tommy turned into Confrontational tommy over night. He's so focused on yankee fans. The Yankees aren't the Braves or the phillies and they aren't the dodgers! Lmao. I'll bite my nails once you dominate your division properly. Little brother.
That is what losers do. Remember him yelling every day
for about 3 weeks because Cohen did not re-sign his
beloved Idol Jacob d'Grom?
It is ridiculous all of the gloating from Met
fans on getting Soto. First of all Ohtani
is a better player than Soto hands
down. And don't forget the California
Angels had 2 superstars Ohtani and
Trout and did not even make the playoffs.
The obnoxiousness coming from Met fans
whose team has not won the World Series
for 38 years is actually funny when you
think about it.
Soto had very inflated statistics playing
in a short right field and a wind tunnel where
almost every flyball to right field ended up
being a home run. Soto also benefited
from having Judge in the lineup.
I as a Yankee fan say good riddance to him.
And I am actually glad that the Mets will be
stuck with him for the next 15 years as the
Mets have NO opt out, only he does.
That will turn out to be a horrendous contract
based on the money and years for the Mets.
He will probably spend most of his remaining
career as a DH.
Don't forget what Keith Hernandez said about
his awful play in the outfield. They will pay the guy
more than 50 million dollars per year and they can't
even play him in right field, that is pathetic.
Yankees offered him 47.5 million a year. For that price you would say “Yankees are back! We got Soto!” 😆
It’s dejavu of Cohen year 1. Everyone’s so happy that the Coupons were gone, Lindor was the greatest FA signing ever, blah blah blah.
“LolMets is dead” they kept saying. It won’t die until a World series victory but that doesn’t matter for the Mets are not perpetual champions of the offseason BayBEEEEE!
Not me glad hes gone @@StromboliTastesGood
Salty are we? Mfer wrote a whole story😂
OHTANI is better player. SOTO can’t throw a baseball from the outfield
@@brucekeller5259 everyone knows Ohtani is better. Soto got more money because he was younger and more teams wanted him. Supply and demand
I think im going to puke!
We all know how the last Juan S who went to the Mets performed
Evan is sickening
It will be a waste of time signing SOTO if MINI MARKET STEARNS doesn't surround him with a solid supporting cast. That means that MINI MARKET STEARNS has to sign ALONSO and not a 34 yr old CHRISTIAN WALKER who's got at the most two or three yrs. left on his career.
The migrant has the dinero now to buy alot of tacos and jelapena 😅I did'nt know if the Mets hat will fit on Sotos big broccoli hair, with $765M need a decent haircut.
This entire Soto hype from the MUTTS fans with probably no WS appearances will be Epic to dissect in a couple of years😂😂😂
@justadude2800 Salty is that MUTTS fan in JUNE
@@frankwite81 Stankees suck. Your whole team is Cole and Judge who sucks in the playoffs. Hahahahaha.
Mets still suck
@@alejandrodomingo701 better than the Stankees
like your captain in the playoffs
Hal tried. He offered way more than we thought he would. We loved him, he loves the money in the bank. With a salary cap he'd probably still be in pinstripes
im happy we got soto. but is he really 26 ? he look older than his age. just like i heard albert pujols was older than his age. alot DR players lie about their age in DR
