Let him walk. These massive contracts never work out in the end. Go after Pete Alonso and Tyler O'neil you get good defense and speed on the bases plus a solid bat. Use the rest of that money on some good relivers and maybe another starter. No way is Soto worth 700 million.
After the postseason that we had, the only person I never want to lose, the person I want to stay in stripes until he calls it a career, Giancarlo fuckin' Stanton.
Move on from Soto and sign multple players. The Yankees can sign Walker, Adames, Burnes and Santander or Snell with the amount of money Soto is seeking.
It's ridiculous that Ohtani got 700 million. It's even more ridiculous for Boras to command $700 million for Soto. This is insanity. The Yankees should let him walk. They tried. Oh well
the mets/giants/dodgers/phillies he'll end up with one those teams. i think Hal will give Scott Boras a number and if it goes above that number i don't see Soto coming back we'll have to go with plan B.
As much as I'd love to see Juan as a Yankee long term, if 700 million or more is the price tag, I'd have to hope the Yankees hard pass on that. 550 million over 14 years would be the max I'd pay if I worked at the front office personally. I mean, come on, they clearly need more than just Juan to compete at the highest level. Signing him for too much will REALLY limit them to any more moves. If that's the case, they should pick up Alex Bregman, Anthony Santanger, a closer, some relief, and maybe Jack Flaherty. Adding them guys to just adding Juan? Idk. If the price tag is reasonable, then sure. If it gets too crazy, I'd let another team eat that unless the Yankees are willing to go Dodgers all out and spend a ton. They need to prioritize building the team as a whole, rather than just soley based on talent. Hopefully they learned their lesson. Hitting the big balls are cool and everything but they need more than that. Fundamental baseball. Guys that hit to get on base, make few errors and pitchers that will close the game.
@encinobalboa absolutely not. He's a generational talent but not no 700 million. Idk where people even came up with this. NO athlete should receive that much IMO. Although, if anyone is known to out bid and overspend, it's the Mets..
It is interesting because there is something SPECIAL batting in front of Judge. He had his best season. He’s very smart. It could play into his decision. Tho, it’s pretty clear he’s going for the bucks
Atlanta’s not that stupid. No way that happens. They look for more value in 2 or 3 players to fill positions rather than one high priced defensive liability.
Say what you will, ultimately it comes down to Hal Steinbrenners’ willingness to MATCH any offer from all the potential clubs offering Soto his demanding salary!! The Yankees organization have the disposable income to pay any player their desirable salary. Yes, even generational players like Soto. Soto is an investment as much as he is an acquisition. Merchandise, ticket sales, marketing, is the true value that Soto brings to any organization including the Yankees. Hal Steinbrenner would only be increasing the equity of his team, not a loss economically, a win-win stock value. Time will tell if Hal decides to make his biggest investment yet for himself and the fans of New York‼️🗽⚾️💰
I honestly think if Soto's price tag is 700 million that the yankees should let him go and spend the money on rebuilding the infield and signing a couple of starting pitchers and middle relief. I would also go after Pete Alonso of the Mets 1st baseman to replace Rizzo. I would trade clay Holms and Rondon and get rid of Glaber Torres who lacks serious hustle. The yankees were the worst base running team and that needs to change. Spending 700 million on Soto will not solve their many issues besides Soto is just a bat. His fielding and defensive skills is average. We have already seen that just having home run hitters will not win you a championship. We need players to hit in the clutch and players that hustle and grind and make plays happen. We do not have that now and we have not had since the 96 yankees. Let Soto go he does not care about legacy its all about money for him
I don't see Soto having the same value as Shohei. Shohei is also a Cy Young calibre pitcher and rock star outside the US. Hes a marketing machine to the point where more people in Japan watched the series than the US.
The lineup fit with Judge behind him, the meaning of being a Yankee and being part of the legacy will convince him to stay a Yankee. Hall will open the checkbook.
@@PinstripeTerritory They don’t do long term deals unless it’s extending a guy on a rookie deal. The Braves are owned by Liberty Media who have set things up for them to run off their own profits. They also are still on the Bally’s (now fan fuel) tv deal so haven’t secured the clarity of a long term new deal. Braves fans are conditioned to already conceding max fried, much less thinking Soto is a possibility. Still a very well run org who will spend in the short term, but 700 mil type moves into the future wouldn’t happen unless a Ted Turner bought the team
when did a .285 hitter, with 30 HRs (he hit 41 this year because of Judge) and a mediocre outfielder deserve to become the highest paid player in baseball...??
He’s top 5 in almost every hitting category, is an on base machine and is not even in his prime yet. But I agree getting the same money as shohei is insane. But that doesnt matter. Corey seager and Xander boegarts have like the top 5 or 6 biggest mlb contracts ever lol and I can name a ton of people who should be paid more
Let him walk. There are other fish in the sea. I don't buy the "generational talent" narrative. Every year there are incredibly amazing players hitting the market and even more amazing players coming up through the system. I won't complain if we do sign him, but I think the money is better spent rounding out the team.
Really don't see anybody paying $700mil for him even if it's deferred which apparently neither Boras nor Soto want. Ohtani was a unique case not just for his pitching ability but also the Dodgers are making money from the Japanese market. The DR market is not an equivalent to Japan's. I also don't see him coming back as Yankee. They are is not going to pay upwards of 600mil. Also, signing Soto will not solve the inherent flaws within the organization only an entire rebuild of the FO would. Too bad the ownership is too weak or stupid or both to do that which means we won't see a Championship any time soon.
If Soto leaves, it's going to be a long, long time until we make it to the World Series again. There just isn't anyone else out there like him that can make the impact like he did this season.
I hope anyone except my team pays him 700M. Over rated except for being an excellent hitter. Terrible defense, slow. He turns opponent doubles into triples.
SOTO only if you move Judge to first base. Weaker team defensively with Soto in Right and Judge in center. Soto is a great hitter, have to make a solid overall team
The Mets did better against the Dodgers than the Yankees did. And they did it without Soto. Now imagine if they had Soto. I also never saw the Mets lose a 5-0 lead by committing ridiculous errors in one inning. I love the Yankees but our future is going to be miserable. iIt will be worse than the last 15 years. Our owners do not want to win, they just want to make money. They are nothing like their father. If George Steinbrenner were still alive we wouldn't have had to wait 15 years to go back to World Series. Yankees used to be the envy of baseball. We were known as the Evil Empire. It was a compliment. Nobody envy's the Yankees anymore nor do they fear us.
700 million is crazy but someone will probably get close. Perhaps the Yankees can offer the most but workout something where some of the money is deferred. I doubt he agrees to that but I think it comes down to the Yankees or Mets.
I just don't see a scenario with how the Yanks lost the WS, where Hal opens up the 2025 season and when the Yankees take the field it's: - Aaron Boone, who majority of Yankees fans hate. - No World Series trophy in hand. - No Juan Soto running out the dugout. That's just deadman walking territory for Hal.
He's going to the Mets. If I were Juan Soto I would also go to the Mets. They will give him more money and they will win. Yankees won't even make playoffs next season. Will probably not return to the World Series for another 10 years. Juan is still young and he wants to win.
Let him walk. These massive contracts never work out in the end. Go after Pete Alonso and Tyler O'neil you get good defense and speed on the bases plus a solid bat. Use the rest of that money on some good relivers and maybe another starter. No way is Soto worth 700 million.
Always been a Tyler O’Neil fan. Unlimited potential, if he can stop breaking. He was on to an MVP type season before the concussion derailed it.
based soto isn't worth 600 either
After the postseason that we had, the only person I never want to lose, the person I want to stay in stripes until he calls it a career, Giancarlo fuckin' Stanton.
hopefully he can stay a little bit healthier, but he killed it in the post season
Move on from Soto and sign multple players. The Yankees can sign Walker, Adames, Burnes and Santander or Snell with the amount of money Soto is seeking.
I like Christian Walker. Great fielder. 1st base is open and has 30 HR power.
It's ridiculous that Ohtani got 700 million. It's even more ridiculous for Boras to command $700 million for Soto. This is insanity. The Yankees should let him walk. They tried. Oh well
Rumors on the street is The Yankees want him to also be the closing pitcher
the mets/giants/dodgers/phillies he'll end up with one those teams. i think Hal will give Scott Boras a number and if it goes above that number i don't see Soto coming back we'll have to go with plan B.

$700M? Is Soto worth Shohei money? Is he even as good as Sho? The answer is no.
@encinobalboa absolutely not. He's a generational talent but not no 700 million. Idk where people even came up with this. NO athlete should receive that much IMO. Although, if anyone is known to out bid and overspend, it's the Mets..
@@encinobalboa shohei isnt even worth shohei money
I think Judge Alonso Stanton bragmen sounds pretty cool.
It is interesting because there is something SPECIAL batting in front of Judge. He had his best season. He’s very smart. It could play into his decision. Tho, it’s pretty clear he’s going for the bucks
I'm one of the few ok if yankees don't sign Soto. Rather spread the money around. Yankees have a lot of holes to fill.
Hopefully not with the Dodgers. I'd rather Dodgers keep Teoscar and use that extra money on more depth!
Dodgers would be insane to sign him.
put players back in the regular positions and use the money to build a team address the hole instead of going all in on Juan Soto
Soto is better fit with the Yankees will make those adjustments and we'll be right back in the world series
Atlanta’s not that stupid. No way that happens. They look for more value in 2 or 3 players to fill positions rather than one high priced defensive liability.

He’s not worth 700 million dollars let him go and get players that can help the team
Mets. Dodgers. Yankees.
Braves. Giants. Jays. $650

And resign Gleyber Torres for a couple more years
@@duanelarue6292 nah hes gone
Speak Staton he watches everyone. Did u see his face. Go knicks. So much pressure on them
I don't see Soto having the same value as Shohei. Shohei is also a Cy Young calibre pitcher and rock star outside the US. Hes a marketing machine to the point where more people in Japan watched the series than the US.
$45-$46m Per....Is Too Low....He Prob Wants At Least $50m Per...He Needs To Defer $10m Per To Make It Work....
The lineup fit with Judge behind him, the meaning of being a Yankee and being part of the legacy will convince him to stay a Yankee. Hall will open the checkbook.
He’s not going to Atlanta, can scratch that one off your list of concerns
Assuming you’re a Braves fan - why do you think so? Just curious

I know they could have Swanson and free men for under 200m
Soto a. Yankee. Bring these guys back. W Dominguzz i think there great
My Dodgers should not be tempted by Soto. He is not loyal to his team. He is loyal to the dollar.
Lets be fair. That's every baseball player. If your offered more from the same job. Where will you go?
go get a anthony santander, a blake snell, or a corbin burnes, or a tanner scott for the pen etc
when did a .285 hitter, with 30 HRs (he hit 41 this year because of Judge) and a mediocre outfielder deserve to become the highest paid player in baseball...??
Scott Boras
Age and market
Bc he will hit 35+HR/100+ RBI/.400+ OBP for the next 10-12 years. And also Boras
He’s top 5 in almost every hitting category, is an on base machine and is not even in his prime yet. But I agree getting the same money as shohei is insane. But that doesnt matter. Corey seager and Xander boegarts have like the top 5 or 6 biggest mlb contracts ever lol and I can name a ton of people who should be paid more
We already saw judge in the postseason.
Hes staying with the YANKEESSS
That really sucks though the fans get screwed even in a regular preseason game you got to pay a lot of money just for a ticket
Soto stays with the Yankees.
It would very interesting if he sign with the texas rangers or with the phillies
I like the Braves & Blue Jays for Soto.
where's you get that hat?

Phillies - Kevin long

Why did yankees not bring clabra or other kid in game at end play first base. That ball was coles
Soto Judge Dominguez 2025 Yankees outfield
Miami gives him an ownership piece and he goes there. Just stirring the pot. 😁Hope the off-season goes quickly. Go Cardinals.
I hope anyone except my team pays him 700M. Over rated except for being an excellent hitter. Terrible defense, slow. He turns opponent doubles into triples.
Hopefully dodgers or mariners
The Dodgers won the world series without Soto. Shohei had no impact in the WS.
Ohtani was injured game 2 of the WS.... What were you watching
I hope he stays a yankees but I see him as a met
I hope it’s the White Sox, cuz chaos
Rpyals and Guardians can get him w mets
If it's not the Yankees, I don't give a 💩where he goes, he's not helping us.
SOTO only if you move Judge to first base. Weaker team defensively with Soto in Right and Judge in center. Soto is a great hitter, have to make a solid overall team
This is ridiculous now what these baseball players make they're already millionaires how much more money you need

Yanks have coaches to say play defense. How about pitching foach voming out to come infeild down
He’s going to the Mets
😂😂
@@haitiyouyou76 Listen to him he's got a crystal ball!
To a team that needs a good hitting DH.
Can't play for defense
Yanks print money. BUT, i'd be shocked if Hal gave in to Soto/Boras. He's a cheapo.
Juan Soto he's not worth 700 million remember otani also pictures
Smart teams would stay away from him.
700 million is crazy but someone will probably get close. Perhaps the Yankees can offer the most but workout something where some of the money is deferred. I doubt he agrees to that but I think it comes down to the Yankees or Mets.
Juanito we DON'T deserve you!! YOU deserve better!!! Go get your money kid💯👌
I just don't see a scenario with how the Yanks lost the WS, where Hal opens up the 2025 season and when the Yankees take the field it's:
- Aaron Boone, who majority of Yankees fans hate.
- No World Series trophy in hand.
- No Juan Soto running out the dugout.
That's just deadman walking territory for Hal.
Mets ,. 750 million 15 years
Dodgers or Mets
Guardians go get him
$$ Mets $$
Dodgers
DUMP BOONE
He wants to win. He has money & he’s going to get more money. What else is there to play for?
WINNING
He's going to the Mets. If I were Juan Soto I would also go to the Mets. They will give him more money and they will win. Yankees won't even make playoffs next season. Will probably not return to the World Series for another 10 years. Juan is still young and he wants to win.
mets barely made the playoffs what u smoking i need that.
Probably the Dodgers.
