If they don’t re-sign Soto, there’s something broken in the front office. All he cares about is money. Give it to him.

Chi, we both know how Hal works. I would be absolutely mind blown if he pays for Soto.

If I’m in Hal’s ear, here’s what I’m saying…

We had 7 extra home games due to the playoffs and World Series which we definitely would not have reached without Soto. At $10M* per game in revenue that’s $70M in additional money we earned that wasn’t planned when we budgeted. Juan Soto will have us in the playoffs every year. He pays for himself. And that doesn’t account for all the additional merchandise opportunities and fan interest we’ll have if he signs long term.

*that’s the 2023 average regular season take, so likely even more for the 2024 playoffs

Soto to the Mets for $765M.

I can’t believe the Yankees allowed themselves to be outbid. But then again I guess I can.

Glad the calm rational fans are getting platformed.

Hal could have gone ten million more. He got outbid. Because he’s not his father. He’s not a winner. Don’t be mad at Soto for not taking the losing bid.

I am just happy he didn't end up with the Dodgers, had no illusion he would end up back in pinstripes. Now lets be stupid and give that money to a washed up never was like Pete Alonso who we will be wishing we could cut in two years.

Only in the sense that it shows they are willing to spend, the player himself I am not huge on but this FA class is not that deep, nor are any with the way that the MLB system works. We aren't getting Sasaki, I would have preferred Corbin Burnes but he probably would have been a worse contract and Snell is gone.

The Yankees are in talks with the Cubs about acquiring Cody Bellinger but in true Cubs/Yankees small market mentality fashion the hold up is whether the Cubs will have to eat some of his salary.

AS IF THAT SHOULD MATTER TO EITHER OF THESE TEAMS WHO OWN THEIR OWN FUCKING TV NETWORKS

Yankees are dealing. Trevino to the Reds for a RP and a backup Catcher.

Word is that Goldschmidt & Arenado are also on the radar but I’m not sure how they make both of them work.

Goldschmidt to the Yankees.

Really hope this isn’t a Josh Donaldson signing.
