They were gonna lose the series anyway. Game 5 wasn't anything special beyond a fluke. I am a Giants fan who hates the Dodgers but the writing was on the wall that those Yanks were not going to win after game 3.
@@WalkoffGrandslamhonestly I’m a dodgers fan and I did not want the series to go back to LA. After witnessing the losses at home to Boston, Washington, Houston, and Atlanta I couldn’t handle a game six😭
As a Mets fan, he is the BEST hitter at citi field statictically so I think we made a good decision he is young snd should give us quality years as a met
Mets had a lot of money off the books after the '24 season. Even with the Soto signing they are still over $100 million under the past season's payroll. They will still likely sign Alonso and at least one more starting pitcher and some depth pieces
as a yanks fan it does sting, but seeing how much money he got, i’m kinda glad we didn’t re sign him, he was worth nowhere near 700 mil, let alone 600 mil, it showed that the front office is in win now mode and committed to trying to win a world series in the very short window that we have, and now we have so much money to spend on FA’s with so many areas to improve upon, also huge fan, love the videos
I hate how the baseball world gaslit itself into thinking Juan Soto deserved a bigger contract than Ohtani because *checks notes* he’s a bit younger. That’s literally it.
Ohtani is still highest AAV of all time. So it is technically still the biggest contract. Soto only making 57(ish) million a year. Ohtani getting 70 a year. Yes I know he only getting 2 and deferments for 68 later but his AAV of the contract is 70 million a year.
Everyone knows Soto isn’t worth more than Ohtani. Every team bidding knew that. It’s the fact that Ohtani set that benchmark of 700 that anyone that has the chance to will try to break. If Soto was a FA last year and Ohtani this year Soto would’ve got at most 550 million and Ohtani would’ve been close to 800. But that’s how sports FA works, once that number is set everyone wants to break it. QBs in the NFL are a perfect example. Mahomes got a contract that sounded crazy at first and now he’s not even top 10 highest paid in the league. But still the market that Soto brings for the Mets, that contract will basically pay for itself. And if we’re being honest, the markets Ohtani opens up he could’ve got 2 billion and it would’ve paid for itself
As a die hard Padre fan who got to watch Soto every night for a year and a half, this is a hilarious overpay. Considering he's a glorified DH with his terrible defense, I'd say there's no way on earth he's worth more than $40 million per and that's being generous. Happy for Mets fans, glad it's not my team stuck with that albatross of a contract.
Yankees fan here. While yes it stings, this team with or without Soto still has glaring holes. Now they can distribute the wealth amongst multiple players.
Loved the video Koogs (wish you could've gotten the win though). As far as Soto's contract goes, as a Mets fan I'm excited. Obviously there's more to do but to check this off the list shows Steve Cohen isn't messing around when it comes to building a contender. I'd love to see them sign the guys they had this year back (Alonso, Winker, Manaea, and Iglesias) but I doubt an Alonso signing happens with the Soto contract. I'd also like them to trade Baty and McNeil away for a starting pitcher.
Tbh this is a good decision made my Juan Soto, I feel like the Yankees are wasting his potential and he carried that team through while the rest of them were choking, but I also feel like the Mets need to be more focused on pitchers than anything
Never in my wildest imaginations I would see Soto’s deal hit over 700 million. My estimated salary Soto was gonna get imo was around 500 to 650 million.
I dont how a guy who isnt the even the best player on yankees gets paid more than everybody else. Juan Soto agent deserves to be in the hall of fame for that fr
Yes this hurts, but yes it’s time to move on. We play the Mets 4 times a year. Yanks can get 6-8 players via signings + trades and give a strong response to this loss. Can only hope for the best
Over payed, that’s it. They gave him over 765+ to just a hitter who kinda can’t play defense. Shohei deserves it after the career he had with the Angeles, Soto can’t compete with Ohtani
Soto was always going to the highest bidder. Wasn't difficult to see. The thing was..........He's already won a Ring with the Nats. Even if he doesn't win another one.......Already has it. Cohen was gonna spare no expense it was so obvious.
These contracts are ruining baseball. Its very disheartening as a fan to see this happening. But good on these guys for getting that bag while they can.
I mean, if you're comparing literally anyone else's contract to the likes of Soto (Shohei being an exception) then anything will be "Cheap" in that context. LOL! Willy Adames is cheap compared to Soto. Lol.
The game 5 5th inning World series might actually be the downfall of the Yankess 💀💀
real
They were gonna lose the series anyway. Game 5 wasn't anything special beyond a fluke. I am a Giants fan who hates the Dodgers but the writing was on the wall that those Yanks were not going to win after game 3.

Lmao 😂😭
Personally, I believe this ties bill Buckners error in the world series
The moment koogs says he wants soto to sign with the mets he signs coincidence i think not...
As a Mets fan, he is the BEST hitter at citi field statictically so I think we made a good decision he is young snd should give us quality years as a met
He may be good but he will never be as good as this year. #METSAREPOVERTY
Most Mets fans brag, this is a comment I respect. Thank you for being a respectful Mets fan. 😀

Ohtani > Soto in every possible way
Juan Soto is going to be on mlb 25
The money isn’t also deferred so that’s another factor
Does everyone just forget the Jose Siri is on the team
Oh my gosh.
He’s lwk good too ngl
I guess
As a Yankees fan there’s a lot of Mets fan teachers and they will be yapping about it.If they get Pete Alonso min of money of 530mil

Go Mets! 15:06 was a classic jeff move lol
Shohei actually got a better deal… if he were to sign a 15 year deal, it would be worth 1,050,000,000. Still crazy money tho!
Needs more views. Sharing now.

You and Kyle should do an All time co op team since you both are doing it
Finally! Thanks for the update.

Yo I love your videos and you possibly make a video about your hitting settings?
Yo Koogs my fav card in MLB 24 hitting wise is 99 OVR Mark Vientos (season one), you should try him
I dont how a guy who isnt the even the best player on yankees gets paid more than everybody else. Juan Soto agent deserves to be in the hall of fame for that fr
Mets are the goat 🐐 I am a die hard Mets fan and I love this contract
Same
the signing bonus is a part of the contract
Juan Soto literally got signed more money than the entire A’s team.
Contract is insane for a 2 tool player. But hey he got a hell of a bag
Good Video Koogs
I’m a Yankees fan and I’m upset about Juan Soto but now without signing him they can get so much more players Corbin burnes, tanner scott etc
The answer for the Yankees is trading for Mike trout! pair him up with Aaron Judge then go sign Pete Alonso and Bregman and go sign Max fried
Honestly Juan Soto could actually be a great fit for citi field
Fire vid man!
The 2025 Mets are gonna be just like the 1992 Mets, the worst team money can buy
As a Mets fan, I love it. I don’t care if it’s an overpay, it’s not my money lol. I won’t be satisfied until we resign Alonso though
Parking at citi field is bouta be crazyyyyy
The Mets got so much run support for Jacob DeGrom after he left.
Yes this hurts, but yes it’s time to move on. We play the Mets 4 times a year. Yanks can get 6-8 players via signings + trades and give a strong response to this loss. Can only hope for the best
That contract just means he was going for money and that 5th inning was the downfall lol 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ohtani would've been the highest paid is he wanted to go to the Mets, Cohen would've paid him 900 million last year
Koogs, us Yankee fan feel you now😭😭😭
I through for sure he was going to the Yankees as well koogs
im happy that went to mets
Btw Corbin burns is either going to the dodgers or giants
I am a mets fan and I feel amazing. Have to sign Alonso.
Over payed, that’s it. They gave him over 765+ to just a hitter who kinda can’t play defense. Shohei deserves it after the career he had with the Angeles, Soto can’t compete with Ohtani
I’m just happy the dodgers didn’t get him… they are like the team to beat
We are gonna have so many players now thinking they’re worth this much. Small market teams are going to suffer
Soto was always going to the highest bidder. Wasn't difficult to see. The thing was..........He's already won a Ring with the Nats. Even if he doesn't win another one.......Already has it.
Cohen was gonna spare no expense it was so obvious.
Very surprised he went there 😮
I'm happy we have him, but that's too much damn money. I suggest people take BP irl to try and make it to MLB and get paid!
If we get 2 or 3 good players to help then I'm fine with Soto going to the Mets. 😅
Your opponent checked swinged a million times
I’m happy about the trade of Soto
As a Yankees fan I am very mad,annoyed,sad all at the same time
Polar bear to the yanks that’s what I feel
As a braves fan i am not looking forward to the mets games this year h😂 but all healthy i feel we still have a better chance
I think the inflated contract was cause it came after ohtani last offseason, he could demand more money
It stings, but I'm just glad we're not the cowboys of the mlb... until 2054.
I mean, yall kinda are, every year is yall year and have been constantly bounced recently🤷♂️
@@thearchergamer5349 I'll take a pennant over none in 30 years.
These contracts are ruining baseball. Its very disheartening as a fan to see this happening. But good on these guys for getting that bag while they can.
I blame you koogs you had to say something
you asked for it and got it lol
I am a Mets so I am happy but I am just surprised of that much money
Aaron Boone watching this💀
Soto looks better in orange and blue either way
All the Mets have to do is resign Pete Alonso(maybe) and one more competent starting pitcher, and we good to go
He chose money over winning
Under one hour
Rembere what looks lol has he jsut ground outs
Yankees fans gonna hate Juan Soto
Generational player? Juan Soto is far from a generational player...props to him for getting the bag, but it is far more money than hes worth
I’m just glad it wasn’t the Dodgers
Who do is totally worth 700 mil. Juan Soto ain’t. Just another example of the Mets overspending on everybody, whether they’re good or bad. Silly Mets.
I thought he would go to the Dogers
Bro has more views than It’sPlayful can get in a hour😂
I though you said mark has a hot bat what happened lol
Bobby Bonilla 2.0 ? Who knows?
He sold the Yankees/Juan Soto
Here’s the question will you put Soto in all time teams?
He literally explains in the video that he recorded All Time Mets like an hour before the news dropped
I’m a Phillies fan and I’m pissed
OMG NO WAY THIS IS SO BAD FOR MY BRAVES
I don't care because since the Yankees didn't win the ws with Aaron Judge and Soto the Mets aren't gonna win with just Soto.
👇 people who thought he would go to La
Just got here from the fuzzy video
I feel so hurt bro …
The Mets overpaid.
Before 15 mins team
👇
So on the all time Mets did you use Juan Soto or not?
I mean, if you're comparing literally anyone else's contract to the likes of Soto (Shohei being an exception) then anything will be "Cheap" in that context. LOL!
Willy Adames is cheap compared to Soto. Lol.
Day 1 of asking koogs for mlb the show 25 or mlb the show 26
Ohtani is better than Soto. Mets just gave him that deal to flex and get him away from The Yankees. Also Sotos deal could go up to $800 million
what about jose siri
Day 130 of asking Koogs to do a video on Ceddanne Rafaela
Yanks offered more like 720 mil
My dads friend knows his brother
R
As a Phillies fan, why does this have to happen?
I ain’t even mad like these other Yankees fans burning jerseys like why waste money
did you say massive??
