    Totally agree. Baseball is not like basketball or football where you can make sure your best player decides the game. One person doesn’t make that big a difference. Having said that, I think it’s true that the addition of Soto is what pushed the Yankees over the finish line to the World Series.

    If pujols in his prime wasn't worth $600 million, there is no way in hell Soto is worth that. Plus, pujols was solid defensively. and Soto didn't even reach ohtani's batting numbers last season and obviously, doesn't steal bases or pitch or have the marketing clout which all go to justifying ohtani's deal.

    Yankee fan ever since I was nine years old, when George bought the team. I want Soto. I don't want him for $600M for the reason just stated. The last baseball game I attended at Dodger Stadium was 2009. I sat in the reserved section (blue) behind home plate, which is just below the top of the park (red). I paid $45 for that seat which goes for between $85-110, depending on the visiting team. The last baseball game I attended was in five years later in Oakland. I sat in the field level seats right behind home plate, about 40 yards from the actual plate. I paid about $40 for that seat. I will not attend professional sporting events any more because it is _literally_ not worth it. Attending a Steeler home game is on my bucket list, but that's about it. The driving, the cost of parking, the people (too often rude), the cost of the seat, and the exit process is not a good investment of my time, my money, or my sanity. Let the man get whatever he can get from whomever he can get it from...I'm not chipping in.

Defensively he was the player with most assists and was top 5 for the gold glove. Ohtani is a designated hitter and soon will stop stolen bases because managers won’t keep risking lose him because of an injury.
      Ohtani won’t pitch this year either and is a lot older than Soto. Soto is rising and Ohtani in one or two years will start to decline.

    Dan’s being obtuse on this one because he’s massively undervaluing on-base percentage and Soto’s age. His lifetime on-base percentage is .421, that’s Mickey Mantle & and Shoeless Joe Jackson territory. He’s averaging per 162 games: 35hr, 100+ rbi, 100+ runs, 130 bb. A player’s prime is about age 26-32. He’s entering his age 26 season. Players with that type of plate discipline and power are rare. These type of players become free agents in their mid 20’s maybe once a generation.

      @ Well that’s true but you’re not paying him because he’s a good base runner or a good fielder. You’re paying him because he has insane plate discipline, has 30+ HR power, and hits .285. And the other big factor is he’s 26 years old and just entering his baseball prime. Go back and check since 1946 the players with a .410+ on-base percentage and 200+ HR, it’s a short list: T. Williams, B. Bonds, SOTO, M. Mantle, F. Thomas, E. Martinez, S. Musial, Helton, M. Ramirez, & M. Trout. Helton’s numbers are skewed because of Coors Field. Mantle’s legs were pretty much shot by the time he was 28-29 years old. The only 2 guys on that list that were consistently good fielders and base runners on that list were Bonds & Trout.

    He is not even worth half of that. He is a one-dimensional player. He biggest assets are he gets on base and he hits for power. I saw ever single one of his plate appearances when he was a Padre. There were countless times he was over selective at the plate and drew a walk when he needed to expand the zone to put the ball in play and drive in a run. Fans are not drawn to buy tickets to see walks. Even if he was somekind of great base stealer it still would justify that amount of money.
    He is an average defensive player with average arm. Sure he has a great on-base percentage and slugging numbers. All we heard prior to his acquisition to the Padres was he was the next Ted Williams. Really? Thats an insult to Ted Williams. He wasn't even the next Fernando Tatis Jr. nor even a Tony Gywnn.
    No one stopped what they were doing to see his at bat like those other two. Its not to say I wouldn't want him on my team but not for that outrageous amount of money. Ohtani on the other hand is not only a tremendous hitter but also a number one starting pitcher. He is a five-tool player who allows a team to tap the market of an entire country like Japan. That alone justifies his contract.
    Im sorry Soto is far from being worth spending even 400 million. The Padres recieved 5 players in return for him in a trade 2 who were major contributers and another was traded to land a front line starter like Dylan Cease. The remaining two showed signs of being pretty good MLB pitchers. At the time of the trade everyone was disappointed but in retrospect it turned out to be better to have those Five than one Juan Soto.

      @brandondillman5841 Harper and Soto were neck n neck for Harpers 2nd MVP by the way. Soto is right there and a fan favorite as well!

    Soto sucks in right but he was so clutch in the playoffs. I want him to be a yankee but its probably not worth this much money lol.

    Bryce Harper is no good on the field! Who tunes in to see him? You want to seriously compare Soto to Harper? Soto is way better!

      Harper is a 2x MVP and plays hard every single night. He's much more fun to watch than Soto.

    Cmon Dan, its baseball literally globally aside of South Korea and Japan who really cares for baseball not included Latino countries but even they would rather cheer for their own people. Stop pushing that countries like Germany, Indonesia, Nigeria care for baseball.

      I don't hate him. But I really don't like him. Team chemistry is important.

      Hes not worth 600m. This is how you limit your team and make a catastrophic mistake. HE can play AMAZING for the next 8 years, but then they cant really sign anyone else. You are limited to a few max players (unless they differ a TON of the money) and then you have to fill in. Yankees already have Judge and Stanton AND Gerrit Coles contracts. They quite literally cannot sign more people without doing some financial gymnastics like the dodgers.
      The Dodgers owners are in win now mode, probably trying to win 3-5 championships then sell the team at the highest value to get a return on the investment.
