I'm gonna be brave and say what no one else will. Soto won't go to the Yankees, Mets, or Dodgers. He'll go to the true powerhouse, the Colorado Rockies. SURELY they can afford him. (/s in case it isnt obvious.)
As a Mets fan I’m not gonna believe it until I see the tweet announcing the deal from Passan or Heyman. Seen this franchise lose out on game changing player acquisitions too many times
SOTO IS NOT worth the money he(or his agent) is asking for. Especially NOT the contract that Ohtani has! But then again like the saying goes “there’s a sucker born everyday”
saying he can get as much as ohtani is laughable. I like soto but soto aint bringing the support of a country with him and potential two way play. Dunno about all that. Dude deserves a bag tho
David Stearns team building philosophy seems to revolve around eliminating weaknesses more than splashy signings. It's the anti-Rangers and anti-Angels strategy. He's very likely going hard for Soto and resigning Pete, but it also wouldn't surprise me if he bows out on both in an effort build a balanced deep roster instead of over paying on a few key names. Which considering how injuries are so common in today's game, there's a certain wisdom to it. Fans might hate it but we went far for a reason.
@@jagged5 I mostly agree it should be both, but I guess the main thing that might stop it are the various luxury tax penalties, both the financial ones and the things like dropping way down in the draft. Mets could decide they need to reset their penalties at some point...but yeah, I'd rather sign Soto.
Does anyone think Soto might be older then what he says his age is? This scares me when knowing he’s going to sign a contract for 13-15 years. I obviously have no evidence he’s older but I’ve felt this for a little while. His skills. His look/build etc. being from the Dominican (where this stuff still happens). And also the part of the DR where Soto is from.
I mean training all the day, poor sleep and taking a lot of sun can do that to you, jackson chourio and luisangel acuña look just as old than soto to me and they are younger
Signing anyone above 35 is a huge risk. The contract should be not more than 10 years. But for these sort of long contract the last few years tends to be just a deferred payment for earlier years
You have no clue what are you talking about. Cohen as said on several occasions that the team has a budget, and that he isn't going over the 3rd tier cap.
Soto won’t get $700M but I could see Cohen spending $600M, but I think that’s stupid. Soto doesn’t bring in money. Cohen won’t make money from Soto, most likely lose tons. And in baseball, you can’t rely heavily on 1 player.
if soto is payed 700mil without at least 18 years contract, its dumb. As a player, he's half of ohtani. Ohtani is as good as him with the bat. He doesn't have the value of a whole country behind him either, ohtani brought the whole japanese fans with him to the dodgers. 18 years is me being generous if you consider all this variables. You really need at least 20 years if we're talking genuinely for this to be as worth as the ohtani deal
NYC has a large Dominican population so he brings that value. I personally know Dominicans in Brooklyn that were rooting for him in the WS with the nationals but it’s not Ohtani’s Japanese market by any means. The Mets were in on Ohtani but Japanese players prefer the west coast so they were never going to land him. Dominican players usually like the east coast so in all likelihood hood Soto will land with the Mets. The money is what it is and the Mets have it to spend just like the dodgers. They can figure it out with cohens endless money.
@@ishottheserf6715 that's exactly why i think anybody saying "he's gonna get ohtani's money" was hit with a bat in the head or sum. it's just not happening,or its just not worth it at all
@ if Steve cohen overpays it doesn’t effect him that bad, he’s owns one of the most successful hedge fund businesses of all time. Dudes worth 22 billion +
Still don’t think he is worth 700 he can’t pitch run or field at a high level your paying for an eventual dh who will never have the ability to to be anything more than just a hitter an amazing hittter but a hitter none the less. 500 or 550 is the most he should get imo but aye let the billions spend their money however they want
difficult to argue too much with this. Giants are my dark horse though, theyve missed out on so many big names the last few years, they may just be in fuck it mode.
I personally don’t believe the SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS’ Buster Posey is in fuck it mode. However, I guess we shall see, but I don’t think he’s stupid. ⚾️⚾️⚾️ ROGER, The LOS ANGELES DODGER
@@rogerkinard7446 _Buster (who is a minority owner of the Giants) shoved Farhan Zaidi to the dirt when he stalled on extending Matt Chapman, then helped kick him to the curb and give himself the job. He even got Arte Morneo's lackey's brother to LARP as the "general manager". He is _*_absolutely_*_ in fuck-it mode (and will still miss out on Soto because it's San Francisco)_
I think any team that pays Soto that kind of money will regret it. He's already been to a bunch of "win now" teams and he couldn't help them get over the hump. Hell the Padres looked better this year without him. The Yankees literally just lost with this guy in their lineup for less money, now he expects to come back to the same team for 500 to 600 million dollars more? These teams are smoking crack. MLB teams should do the same thing they did last year to Boras's clients, low ball them.
He played a key role in getting the Nats organization their only ring, a huge role in getting the Yankees to the World Series for the first time in 15 years, and it's not his fault that Brain Cashman was willing to grossly overpay for him soon after AJ Preller grossly overpaid for him. If he doesn't get over $400M then Boras needs to retire, regardless of how much of an overpay it is (and it will be an overpay, that's just how A-list free agents work in MLB).
By your logic, Ohtani shouldn't have gotten signed because, despite playing with one of the best players of the generation in an era where 40% of teams make the playoffs, he never made the playoffs until this season. Yeah, Yankees lost a WS with him. You know, they lost some with Mariano, Jeter, Posada, Bernie, Pettitte, etc. They lost them with Mantle, Maris, Berra, Ford. They lost them with DiMaggio and Gehrig. With Ruth.
Lol you're drunk. Soto might be the best pure hitter in baseball and he's by far the most confident. At (supposedly) 19, he single handedly carried the Nationals offense to a WS title over the best pitching duo and best team in baseball. Took both of their best pitchers deep in critical moments. Put the Yankees in the WS with a monster clutch homer. Left handed power bat that will hover in the high 200s to low 300s average. 400+ OBP on autopilot. And he's probably going to become a DH which means he'll play until he's 40+. When it's all said and done he will probably go down as one of the best hitters in baseball history
I don’t know. I hope it happens but it’s also possible Soto pulls a Yamamoto and uses Cohen to raise his price and signs with another team. I hope I’m wrong.
@@ishottheserf6715 are you in favor for the Mets to get Soto ? Well the Yankees will not fire Boone and won’t fire cashman cause the Yankees rely on analytics if judge gets injured and has a bad year you will see the Yankees rank last in offense next year. Also Cole is aging so he might not be cy young or astros type garrit Cole he won’t be a reliable ace. Luis Gil well I don’t know if he still be at his best ,Clark Schmidt he not as good. Torres, Verdugo and Rizzo will be free agents so even if Cabrera, Jones and Ben Rice replace them well not sure if they can field good. With that of the doubt the Yankees could be a last place team cause Boone seems clueless and if that become right you will see yankee stadium next season empty. But if somehow they managed to make the playoffs next year without Soto the Yankees will be eliminated in the wild card or the alds
Soto is not worth an Ohtani contract. He cannot pitch, steal bases or field. He is a very good power hitter who will end up as a DH and his contract will use up much of a teams player budget. As far as his actual age who knows when it involves the D.R.
Soto is going to sign for at least 13 years with the AAV being at least 47 million. (This is the starting point). I’m a big Mets fan and Soto is unbelievable on the offensive side but I don’t think he’s worth it. Especially with so many holes that need to be filled. Soto is offense only. He’s not a good fielder. He’s not that good on the base paths. And as good as he is. I don’t think he has the marketing of Ohtani. Judge or Harper.
recent pattern says that j.soto after signing that 10 yrs for bukoo $$$$ -he'll take a tumble in mid-april which requires surgery, out until august, lol
Let’s keep this clear,Juan Soto enjoyed very much being a Yankee..Cohen has all the money in the world,that’s it..Soto had a great year and wants a fair offer,not necessarily the most money from the Yankees..A fair offer would be $600 million and te Yankee may offer that type of money.Juan also knows that he need players around him…A contract of $600 million may bring Soto back to the Yankees regardless of how much money Cohen offers…
When you reference the Ohtani deal. My abstract thoughts relate to the backloaded nature of the deal so could Soto be signed to a deal that pays beyond his playing days?
> Jeb Bush buys the Rays > Jeb signs Juan Soto to a $690M megadeal > Jeb trades for Judge, Ohtani, & Lindor > Rays go 162-0 and win the WS > Rob Manfred immediately resigns as only 12 people show up to watch the Rays' godly playoff run > Donald Trump immediately transfers the presidency to Jeb > World peace is declared > Praise be to Jeb

My wild wild predictions is he's gonna go to Guardian or Giants 😂😂 but, with the number (be it 700 for 14-15 years) he ask, I don't think he's gonna go to Dodgers because it's defying the very reason Ohtani deferred his money. and my prediction is Soto between 400-450, max 500, BUT again if some owner willing to pay him up to 1B then so be it
You don't know anymore than any bus driver about this. The worst thing that can happen is the Mets don't tie up 600 million that can be spread out on other players. Soto simply isn't worth Ohtani money.
@TiagoGomez-hb9te Soto is a lousy outfielder. He cannot steal bases. Ohtani stole 50 bases, hit 50 HRs, batted .300 and can pitch like an ace starter. Soto is half the player Ohtani is.
I truly believe Soto will remain a Yankee. (I’m probably dead wrong but listen) He mentioned how much he cares about winning and the culture and he has all of that with the Yankees. As long as the Yankees give me a competitive contract he’d stay put imo
I'm not so sure he actually is a free agent. Since you're the only one I've heard say it, and you're a Red Sox fan... My assumption is you're just trolling Yankee fans.
Soto is not my choice. His numbers are above average and consistent. He is not Judge or Othani . Only hit 40 plus homers once this past year at hitter friendly Yankee stadium. Soto seems to want the most money no matter who the team is. He just went to the world series with the Yankees you would think he would want to stay. But as long as Judge is on the team , Soto would not be the main guy. Soto will go to a team that He is the Big star. Mets need to bring back the Polar Bear and get some aces in the starting rotation.
@@vicpicksinvesting5380 So? Bryce Harper hit 40+ in his 23 and he never hit 40 again. Dodger sign Othani big bux because he elite pitcher and hitter, and now we know he has speed.... and Dodger know He paid that big bux himself via merchandise, ticket sales, and advertisement and what make it more sweet he deffer most of his pay ... I doubt Soto can do this.
Yankee stadium was not hitter friendly for soto in fact it took some homers from him mlb even make a post explaining this in detail. Also I agree he is not judge or ohtani he actually plays good in the playoffs...
Loyalty to the team he's played the least with? If he were being Mike Trout levels of loyal he'd go back to the Nats. He doesn't owe the Yankees (or Padres) a single thing.
1:25 - reliable on the field? Yeah right! If it's not for the worst innings in baseball this year Sot would've been criticized for the lack of commitment on the field. This guy was literally jogging to fetch the ball.

@TiagoGomez-hb9te Soto is a lousy outfielder. He cannot steal bases. Ohtani stole 50 bases, hit 50 HRs, batted .300 and can pitch like an ace starter. Soto is half the player Ohtani is.
@ Soto draws way more walks and strikes out less… That’s why his WAR this year is around an 8…
Both New York franchises are desperate to prove they can make 700 million dollars moves and be successful
Mets are the only team that could go dollar for dollar against the Dodgers
Lol if only you knew. Dodgers can get anyone lol
The Yankees don’t deserve Soto, they’re a garbage team. 4th to 5th place in 2025
Yea, the name Soto definitely has Voldemort vibes 😂😂😂
soto is gonna go to a team that has a better chance to make the playoffs every year
He going to go to highest bidder he doesn't care about anything else
I would lowk die if i saw soto as a met
I truly believe Soto will remain a Yankee. (I’m probably dead wrong but listen) He mentioned how much he cares about winning and the culture and he has all of that with the Yankees. As long as the Yankees give me a competitive contract he’d stay put imo
Of course this guy is a Red Sox fan
The Mets are going out to outbid the Yankees and Soto is all for it knowing he still gets to play in NY.
Red Sox should go for him.
Juan Soto is not a real team player, he's a really selfish player who only cares about himself and nobody else but himself.
Soto doesn’t field, doesn’t run and he is very likely 30 years old…. Overrated
Casual
Damn right!
It sounds good but what about the rest of the team? They need a lot to compete
also right after Cohen meets with Boras Hal is metting with Soto and Boras
I see him with the Mets but he is NOT worth Ohtani money. I like Soto but I think It's a little less but I don't know how much. Maybe 500 Million.
It seems so obvious that I don't see it happening.
Won SoHo headed to Mets
Soto isn't going to the Mets like Yamamoto Soto is staying with the Yankees I guarantee it.
I'm not so sure he actually is a free agent. Since you're the only one I've heard say it, and you're a Red Sox fan... My assumption is you're just trolling Yankee fans.
I can't wait to the subway series Cole throws at Soto head jk
Soto is staying with the Yankees, and Christian Walker will be a Yankee too.
Soto becoming the most paid player of all time is disgrace to baseball
Yes. I think he has makes over 80 millions already plus the new contract
He's going to the White Sox. I was crying earlier. Confirmed already.
Soto is not my choice. His numbers are above average and consistent. He is not Judge or Othani . Only hit 40 plus homers once this past year at hitter friendly Yankee stadium. Soto seems to want the most money no matter who the team is. He just went to the world series with the Yankees you would think he would want to stay. But as long as Judge is on the team , Soto would not be the main guy. Soto will go to a team that He is the Big star. Mets need to bring back the Polar Bear and get some aces in the starting rotation.
He just turned 26
@@vicpicksinvesting5380 So? Bryce Harper hit 40+ in his 23 and he never hit 40 again. Dodger sign Othani big bux because he elite pitcher and hitter, and now we know he has speed.... and Dodger know He paid that big bux himself via merchandise, ticket sales, and advertisement and what make it more sweet he deffer most of his pay ... I doubt Soto can do this.
Yankee stadium was not hitter friendly for soto in fact it took some homers from him mlb even make a post explaining this in detail. Also I agree he is not judge or ohtani he actually plays good in the playoffs...
G shit if you watched the postseason he’s better especially when it really matters. I’d rather have Soto than judge
I'm pretty certain he hit more home runs away than he did at home this year. He's a pull hitter, so the short porch in right doesn't help him at all.
Loyalty dies with Juan Soto. The Kevin Durant of MLB.
ohtani already did that with the angels and dodgers tho. What do you have to say about that now?
KD blew a 3-1 lead to the 73-9 team and he joined them. Good luck making that the same thing as Juan Soto.
@@karanveersingh3405 The Angels are a disgrace of an organization, wasting several of both Ohtani's and Mike Trout's prime years
@@MylotheZooLovingScientist yes i know, but the dude's comment made no sense
Loyalty to the team he's played the least with? If he were being Mike Trout levels of loyal he'd go back to the Nats. He doesn't owe the Yankees (or Padres) a single thing.
Cool story bro 😂.
If Look who gets the last meeting
I like Soto but please Mets don´t do it.
The highest paid player of all time for SOTO is insanity. Great offensisve weapon but rest hes not good.
1:25 - reliable on the field? Yeah right! If it's not for the worst innings in baseball this year Sot would've been criticized for the lack of commitment on the field. This guy was literally jogging to fetch the ball.
This feels incredibly dishonest. Soto already met with Cashman and Steinbrenner. How is that any different than meeting with Cohen?
Because cohen will actually spend money
He will be on a private jet too
He is awful defensively in right field and I fear he has a list of injuries coming his way. I wouldn't go crazy for Soto.
Damn! 😎
Soto only said every team has an equal chance to raise the price
Lol 5:13 I can see myself.
they need pitching
