15 years is the most outrageous part of this contract.
Yeah, he'll be making millions for years after retirement..
…..absolutely it’s outrageous on BOTH sides believe or not…..
He can opp out after 5 years
You probably a yankees fan😂
What about 16 years by the yanks.
The guy that performs under pressure running from the pressure? That makes 0 sense. 😂😂
He never wanted to be a Yankee
The answer for Rob Parker is always "Mets bad". So he has to engineer a reason why Soto would pick them.
Thank you he probably wanted to play for the Mets because of the culture that lindor and them created these Yankee fans can imagine that someone just chose the Mets because they like the environment
Mets suck. They're the Clippers and you know. What culture??? Overspending and underachieving 😂...🤡
@ not everybody wants to play for an uptight culture. Matter Soto has a ring and shows up in the postseason unlike Aaron judge
Soto is clutch under pressure and performs in the playoffs. I think he doesn’t care about pressure bc it’s a job for him, he’s been on 4 different teams now. Y’all need to worry about judge performing in the playoffs
Exactly
Soto is overpaid. But what you said is 100%. Yankees are not going to win in a long time. I do think Soto was the key.
Soto wants to win. Ohtani wants to be the greatest ever to do it. That’s the difference
@@johnsepulvedacruz6428The Yankees will not win for a long time? What wishful thinking. I love how people speak as if Yankees were not making the playoffs before soto. And he can Thank Stanton for being Mr. October and inflating Soto's numbers. If you think that this will break The Yankees you're mistaken. The Mets haven't won a WS in 39 years. Yet. People are speaking as if they won 4 years ago. It took dodgers 32 years to reach another Ws. Yankees have never took that long. I know people like you are praying for their demise.
@@hpnssn773Soto wants to win so he went to The NL to face tougher teams and Most likely not make a WS. Something he just came off of. Guy is selfish and Money hungry end of.
I don't understand how some people can't get through their skull that not everyone wants to play or be a yankee.
But would rather be a Met?
Jejeje. Well, apparently yes. He made his decision.
@@Vito_Caligiuri Wrap your head around it. It's reality.
@ it’s reality?😂
@@Vito_Caligiuri Yes. Laugh yourself into hysteria if it helps you cope
Pressure had nothing to do with it. He took the most money and the Mets have better resources including a Farm system that better than the Yankees.
Facts. Go Mets
And yet the Mets still suck and can't win anything
Juanto Soto 0 MVPs 1 WS chip average base runner average defense out fielder,
SHOHEI OHTANI 3 MVPS STARTED 50/50 CLUB & MOST IMPORTANTLY WON A WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS IN 1ST YEAR WITH THE DODGERS, BY THE WAY HE DIDN'T PITCH, Soto match that in your fist year no pressure
These mlb contracts are a joke in a world of poverty
I love the show gentlemen. Crazy contract but expected. Please include more caller reactions with the individual segments. So great to hear both sides of this conversation.
The pressure is much bigger on Soto now. No matter what Soto did for the Yankees, he was the other guy with Judge there. Hell, even Stanton got more talking time than Soto this postseason
Because he ain't do nothing all year and ppl was surprised
Stanton is better in playoffs then soto. Also good luck getting production out of Soto like that without judge behind him. He's good but lets see what happens
@@kuttu8388That's not true! Grant you yes, Stanton does get injured but when he plays. He's always been pretty good and impactful. He's also better than soto in The playoffs and not as arrogant. Actually Giancarlo gets a bad rep. But he has always been respectful even though people have given him crap for years.
@jasonv1144 Other than his rookie year, Soto is basically set in stone for 30 HR 100 RBI. He's an all-time great already, that's why the Yankees wanted him so badly
Rob is saying Soto couldn't handle the pressure as a Yankee and took the easy route out? 😂
Soto was everything but a guy that skrunk under the pressure. The guy was clutch and was a huge reason they got to the World Series. Please criticize someone else that has shrunk under the pressure.
These guys obviously don't watch baseball.
There is pressure to win for the New York Mets. Is it higher or lower than being with the Yankees can be debated. If he does not perform in Queens, he will get booed at Citi Field. If he stays with the Yankees, he's just another star player, if he succeeds with the Mets, he will own the city!
He won't own nothing.
@@jessygarci Only time will tell.
Lindor wants to win, too
Yankees = Man Utd , Mets = Man City
United has been trash for years lol
U guys talk about how long this contract is but don’t talk about the fact that Judges contract goes into his 40s as well. Soto is only 26 judge signed his deal at age 30 or 31
Lol. 26! I'd guess 33
Jason
Are you really that idiot to think that a billionaire businessman is going to give a professional athlete 800 million that has a fake birth certificate?
Are you really that stupid or you are a kid frustrated because somebody took away his favorite toy ? How old are you ?
Crazy takes by these guys…
1. World Series was fun
No it wasn’t it was a joke 😂
2. He left because of the “Pressure
New Yorkers or Yankees fans think it’s all about them, there are players like Ken Griffey Jr that would NEVER play for the Yankees. “PRESSURE” 😆🤣, get out it here. Juan Soto is going to ball out anywhere goes. As a youngster won a Word series “PRESSURE”. “PRESSURE” Soto balled in the playoffs “PRESSURE” Judge is a CHOKER!
Soto has always made it clear he preferred the National League over the American League
Wow Rob giving Ohtani his flowers
You’re not going to forget about this deal because it’s not going to be matched for a while because there is nobody on the horizon that will challenge this deal. It’ll be like A Rods deal with the rangers where he was the highest paid for a very long time
Bruh if you think there’s no pressure to play well on the Mets lmao then your long career covering sports :you shoulda watched more Mets baseball lol now I agree that there is something there with the doubling Judges contract and that creating some friction … your onto something there
Yall really overlook the Mets in every aspect
- Yankees haven't been the Yankees since the 2000s.
- Mets have more of a family-friendly vibe (which soto liked)
- Being in New york,regardless of the team, there's pressure.
- Mets boo their players, too (Lindor). The fanbase is hungry too (after the deep runs in 2000, 06, 15, & 24).
The mistake was still years ago when they passed on Bryce Harper but Yankees need pitching hopefully they can get 3-4 players for the price of Soto
He's not a good defender anyway
You guys forgot to mention that sotos contract can max out over 800 mil with the incentives which is true to the rumor that cohen was willing to go 50 mil above any other offer
Monster year hitting in front of MVP Judge and getting to patrol tiny right field, you’re welcome Soto
As a NY Yankees fans I am disappointed
See you in the subway series. Go Mets
I think he wants to win and get paid. I think this is about the rosters, he saw how good the Mets are with Lindor and thinks he can be the difference and doesn’t like what he sees in playoff Judge. I don’t blame him, that Yankees team was propped up by him and Stanton. Yankees gonna be in a world of suck next year.
If you think this will break The yankees you are mistaken and know you and the rest would love for The Yankees to fail laughing at them. We will see who will have The last laugh.
Ohtani contract changed baseball forever.
We will never see a superstar sign for less than 700m anymore.
This is a new era. Why would anyone choose to stay where there’s more pressure and make less money? At the end of his career, are you gonna say he’s not a HOF’er because he didn’t resign with the Yankees? No! He has a ring and now he’s got the bag. What the problem is🤷🏽♂️
Are the Mets still paying Bobby Bonilla since 1996?
Paying him until 2035 he will be 72 years old
@@CesarHernandez-pd1eb😂😂😂😂😂😂 same with Soto no rings
Best contract ever.
Massive overpay. He isn't a top 5 player and doesn't bring ohtani appeal
Doesn’t have to be. It’s about when players sign contracts. He’s 26 as a free agent. Literally starting his prime. Teams will over pay for him just on that alone.
I mean did you even watch the playoffs or look at his stat sheet? Guy is a technician.
he’s the 3rd best player in baseball
Not a top 5 player but by far the best hitter in baseball
Not a top 5 player? 5 days ago you thought he was 🤡
I think it was the pressure of winning the world series every year got to him and he can't handle it.
“ oh man,. What a hell are you doing wasting the time studying?
Go out and play samething,. Futbol Baseball basketball “
No ONE player is worth that much.....
He knew you can't win with Boone and Judge.
Rob is actually getting cooked today 😂
Rob doesn't know baseball like he thinks
Yankees disrespected his mom and dad. Also his driver and chef. Do your damn homework.
Oh Lord stop it! He's a spoil brat. Meanwhile his Dad was dancing with the rest of The Yankee dads when they went to The WS..Making up so many excuses. This was all about Money and Power.
Wtf are they taking about pressure. His name should be called Iceman. He lives for pressure.
Denial
Some people think that every single baseball
Player will play for the Yankees for less money
For what I could see is that since the time that Soto was playing with the nationals Soto has been wanting to play for the Mets
Cohen wants to build a franchise around their superstar
Is bussiness
NO NO NO... Soto went to the Mets b/c of the MOST 💰.. He'd be on the Sacramento A's if that was the Offer 😤
As long as he plays like he’s been playing, he’ll be fine. One player (especially a hitter) ain’t gonna be the reason the Mets would win a WS. The pitching has to hold up. Judge flopped this past post season and Rob didn’t come for him🤔
The history of teams is overrated, I don't care about a team winning world series 15 plus years ago, what does that do for me right now?
I guarantee he don’t retire a Mets
DH at 30!?!? Are you on something???
Samson
You can’t guarantee to pay 20 dollars for food in your parents house but you are capable to guarantee a 800 million dollar contract,. Grow up
Rob parker is a yankee boy lol. Saying soto left cuz of the pressure is a casual take. 1. Soto performs and delivers in the playoffs unlike judge lol. 2. We all knew soto was going to the highest bidder so why are you surprised. 3. Its baseball. as long as soto does his part, the contract is justified. One man cant win you a WS. Hes just a big fish that they need
Does Francisco lindor not exist on the Mets anymore now that Soto is there?
Dumb people love to think being on the yankees means something, no it doesn't soto was using the yankees as leverage the whole time.
Soto never got a chance to pick where he wanted to play until now. Soto knew he can get the most money from Cohen but he also knew Cohen will do anything to win and the system he's making with David Stearns is vastly superior than what the yankees have now. It was an easy choice for soto to make and to become the greatest player in Mets history is the cherry on top.
What's the point of calling in if Rob is just going to talk the whole time
The answer for Rob is always "mets bad". He then rambles until he gets to where the mets are bad.
Soto picked the "mets cuz less pressure" is just brainless. He won a championship at the age of 20 or 21. He hit in the playoffs. Judge doesnt.
As always hearing Rob trying to talk about baseball is hard to listen to
Rob Parker Blows !!!!!
The Mets gave The Dodgers a better match without Soto the The Yankees did with Judge
Soto just wanted to be a real Dominican and grow his beard
I hate the east coast bias for this $hit! If the Dodgers get a great free agent, “They are ruining baseball.” Let the Yankees miss on a great player, “Oh no they took one of ours” “Oh poor Yankees, he should’ve stayed” 😂😂😂 F THE EAST COAST!
He said the yankees dissed his family and team so the yanks were out.
The fact that you admitted you were wrong proves there’s too much emotions on this show and not enough perspective and information! Most days not worth watching.
Why Yall think there’s no pressure for him to win in queens
Cubs Indians still had better World Series ratings than the Yankees v dodgers. Tired of that narrative
In the U.S. that's correct... N Japan, NOPE... We know why
Right I get that. It just gets tiring about them wanting baseball to be big again in the US but just go on a tirade saying it has to be either the Yankees or dodgers in the series for it to matter.
I guess that’s my only gripe with the whole thing.
So ignorant. The pressure of playing for the Yankees. Stop. Do you realize how Aaron Judge has performed under the post season pressure for the Yankees? Over 58 postseason games, Judge has hit .205/.318/.450 with 45H, 6 doubles, 16HR, 34RBI with a .768 OPS. In 15 postseason series, he has hit above .250 in just 4. His career regular season K% is 28%. In the postseason, it jumps to 32.8%.
Under the weight of the tremendous pressure of being a Yankee, Soto first, had the best regular season of his career. Second, his post season numbers, 14 games .327/.469/.633 16 hits, 3 doubles, 4HR, 9RBI with a 1.101 OPS, clearly outshine Judge's 2024, and airfare arguably better than Judge's entire Yankee postseason career. Soto's regular season K% of 17% dropped to 14% in the postseason. Not to mention Judge making the most egregious error in WS history. Judge is a great regular season player, but folds under postseason pressure.
Im a Yankees fan but i dont think soto is worried about pressure. Soto excelled last year with Yankees. Soto does well with pressure
Rubin
He just turn 26 years old, he is still learning and developing
You are 5’03 tall and you weigh 180 pounds
Do you think that you are cable to say what a 26 years baseball player can learn. ? Judge who clearly is a conteiner full of steroids at 32 years old, is still learning
Move on
These guys know nothing about baseball
How you know pete not coming back 😂 plus we beat the phily ass without soto 😂
The Bronx aint Broadway either far from it
this is a new day you old get off my lawn guys live in the past too much
I'm shocked to know crybaby Rob was born in Queens and grew up a Mets fan and now he's a bandwagon Yankees fan lol.
He left because he played great in world series and judge choked
He doesn't even pitch and his defense is ass asf. He ain't worth that money , he is not better than Ohtani.
As a Mets fan we could have gave him 1B the night , there like 100 bums in the nba that made more then Jordan it’s all bout the current market
Guys can we stop talkin like the Mets are the worst team in baseball… We won more games against the dodgers than the Yankees in the World Series nd if you win 1 championship in queens your immortal in NY for sure… king cohen is goin into George Steinbrenner mode nd will spend like the yanks once upon time wen they used to sign every all star free agent nd win big … the 27 championships in the Bronx wasn’t luck or an accident it was George makin it happen like wen he got Reggie Jackson etc etc
50 mill divide buy 4 is 12,5
What player can you have for 12.5 mill right now ?
Stop with that
If any. Team wants a real player is going to be
Between 25 mill to 30
And Soto will be eventually a 1b
LGM World Champs 2025..
Poor Yankee fans
Who pays these dudes to talk about baseball? Have you guys ever watched Soto? Does that look like a guy who doesnt want the pressure? Youre thinking of Judge. If Judge were to leave the Yankees and you said it was because he coupdnt handle the pressure, sure. THAT I could see.
And if you dont think there is pressure to win for a franchise that hasnt won in almost 40 years, you dont know how pressure works. The team with the least pressure on them right now for instance, is the Dodgers.
Please replace this guy. He's horrible and talks way too much
Na he’s good
As a Red Sox fan, out of AL East , Mets r garbage
