The Dodgers DO NOT sign Bora's clients and Soto has stated he wants to stay on the east coast, the most likely landing place is the Mets or Yankees as NY has one of the largest Dominican communities in the country, who may afford Soto's contract demands.
As a Jays fan, I appreciate the honesty. Some other channels will try to bait the fans into thinking it's a possibility. They have $30M max to play with to add two massive bats, 5 bullpen arms, a quality starter, and a backup catcher. All of that and they still might not be able to compete. Our team is in rough shape, Jim! Great video as always.
you said it best.. agents and teams just use the jays to drive up the prices, we definatly have alot more to do and your right it may not be enough 30 million a year to play with wont fill all those holes
Everybody in Philadelphia thinks Soto si going to the Phils, since Trea Turner and Bryce Harper are ex-teammates of his. He actually showed up in Dodger Stadium for the 2021 playoffs to watch his boy Trea play.
The reason why I think Washington hasn't checked in is realistically, even though they can offer him the money, so can the Mets, the Yankees and the Dodgers. He said it was going to come down to the best offer and any one of those teams are in a position to be the highest bidder. Unlike the other teams though, Washington is not ready to contend for the World Series. Signing Soto would go a very long way towards moving that needle in that direction but I still don't think that he alone would turn them into contenders. I think the Nats are also aware of this and are concentrating on using their resources elsewhere.
I agree that the Dodgers are basically just going to get involved to drive up the price. I do think that the Mets however should be right alongside the Yankees in the top dog tier, one team is just as likely as the other to land him. Juan Soto has made it abundantly clear that he is going to the highest bidder and that the mystique of playing for the Yankees seems to be meaningless to him.
Jim Riley, Great channel. I agree with you on the Yankees and Soto. I am a Yankees fan and hope Juan Soto stays a Yankee! I think Soto will stay in Bronx if the money he likes is there from the Yankees, even if the Mets bid a bit more! Hard to beat that Yankee history with all their great players!! And I think Soto wants to be a part of it and his father is a yankee fan to boot!
We BlueJays fans know that we won't get Soto. He's obviously resigning with the Yankees, but it's smart to bid his contract as super high as possible to make sure the Yankees get pushed into the luxury tax as high as possible.
Dodger fans keep saying they don’t want Soto and would prefer Teo (I love Teo btw) but if we can get Soto, get him. He will extend our championship by multiple years. Teo 32 < Soto 26.
To be honest a "fair" contract for Soto would be 12 years, $400 million. He's an elite hitter with so-so defense. A DH in waiting. He's not better than Judge, just younger. He's not remotely worth Ohtani money. All that said though he will get overpaid. Baseball execs are not particularly bright.
yes his agent is milking thinking he gonna get something like ohtani money xd he should get probably 500 12 mets are probably stupid enough to give him 600 no sane gm is gonna pay i rather la get couple of sp and sign theo for 25/28 mill for 2/3 yrs max
lol Yankees don’t have the money. Mets do and on the Mets he’s top dog he wouldn’t have to play second fiddle like he does with Judge. I love Lindor and Alonso as a Mets fan but those two are not Soto he’s a generational talent. As good as Lindor and Alanso are neither are generational talent. Also this “semi rebuild year” for the Mets. Did better against the Dodgers then the Yankees did, and the Mets swept the Yankees this year with a “semi rebuild year” While the Yankees were stacked. He did not look very happy his last few at bats in the WS. Yanks are definitely in the running, but to me a distant second.
One extremely important sidebar here, Juan Soto's father is a HUGH Yankees fan. He was on the field with him celebrating after they won the pennant, and he had a big smile on his face. I also heard that he keeps telling his son, that he MUST resign with the Yanks.
Orioles reached out to Soto. This isn’t just me saying it. I’ve seen many reports saying it. I doubt that they sign him, but I’m just saying that they reportedly reached out to him.
The Cubs outfield is locked with Seiya, Bellinger, Happ and PCA. Bellinger isn't gonna play first since they traded for Michael Busch and he had a decent first year. I think the Cubs could shock everyone and trade Seiya for like a Luis Castillo and sign Santander. But I don't think Soto is a priority for them.
When the Giants are starving for a SuperStar Bat and missed Stanton (trade), Harper, Judge, Correa, & Ohtani. Money throwing just becomes essential. They are a threat to at least up the bidding to make a team like the Yankees/Mets/Dodgers pay. They are up and coming too. Ramos, Chapman, Fitzgerald, Bailey, Lee are good foundation pieces, just need a glue bat like Soto. Eldridge is almost here too which could give this offense an ammunition in the top of the lineup having Lee, Ramos, Soto, Eldridge, Chapman, Bailey, Fitzgerald, with only 2B and DH needed to be filled.
I think given how the Dodgers got Ohtani last season and won the Series you are underestimating how much the Giants are prepared to go for a 26 year old superstar
I’m a Yankees fan, I really don’t want him back his defense is bad and his speed is bad now imagine 5 years from now he will only be a 600 million dollar DH smh
The Yankees are not closer to winning a World Series than the Mets or Dodger are. Soto wants a ring and the money. The Mets are his best option. By far.
People still take the Jays seriously? I stopped taking them seriously since that off season when some idiot made up a rumor about Acuna being available, and then all their fans and media members came out and said they were the favorite to trade for him. When the Shohei thing happened I didn't believe it for a second, we all knew he was either going to be in Dodger blue or still an Angel. Never take the Jays seriously when it comes to trading or signing a big name free agent.
Rays have made competitive offers to Judge and Freeman, can we stop acting like the Rays won’t make competitive offers to the RIGHT free agents. They need a marquee free agent singing to head the 2028 stadium opening. It makes sense. They’ll likely get outbid but let’s not act like the Rays won’t make a competitive offer at the very least.
I think Juan Soto will choose between the Mets and the Yankees. He already knows what he can do at Yankee Stadium, so why risk going elsewhere where he fares less? One big reason is that Juan's father is a lifelong Yankee fan. Juan is not going to disappoint Dad.
Dodgers could do sooooo much better distributing that wealth to 3-4 excellent players. Teams win Championships, not individual stuperstars. I hope the Dodgers run up the price on the Yanks.
One might have thought that after the World Series, Juan Soto would be left with a sour taste in his mouth, having witnessed the Yankees' poor plays and Aaron Boone's questionable decisions. To me, the World Series served as a pitch from the Yankees and Dodgers to Juan Soto, showcasing why he should choose their team. That said, I would prefer the Dodgers go after pitching and resign Teo.
I like your backet Jim...i think the Boras will use the Mets to elevate the price to the roof, but the Yanks seems the top destination for Soto. A sleeper team could be the Angels. With that sorry @$$ owner . Maybe trying to get back Ohtani leaving.
100% he takes the most money idc who offers it. but more than likely one of those top 3. boras as his agent wont let him take less as a 26 yr old generational star. also that exp with the yankees ended on a massive sour note. he could have seen how noone hit, how judge was a ghost in the playoffs and just how bad they played on a fundamental level. also if he goes to the dodgers get the kevin durant memes started going to the team that smoked u in the championship. also noone is outbidding cohen lets be serious. hal and cashman have proven they have a cap. so well see what happens. imo of course
I hope Juan Soto doesn’t pull a manny machado and go with a team that sucks. I hope he goes to the Yankees but if he won’t I hope he goes to a decent team which would make that team good like if he were to go to the Boston Red Sox I’m sure that team would go from decent to really good
Maybe the Rays dialed the wrong number while calling around for roof repair contractors.
Even though it would never happen I think the Rays would make sense due to their proximity to the D.R. But it will not happen...
Is this Soto's pizzeria? Lol
Im surprise nobody wants Juan Soto him on team

Mets offer 700 mill and Yankees at 650 mill and he picks Yankees? No way!
I think most Dodger fans would prefer a starting pitcher like Fried and resigning Teoscar over Soto. It’s also cheaper.

I started laughing as soon as i saw the Jays in the group 🤣🍿
It's not to land him. Make the Yankees spend high into the luxury tax!😂
We BlueJays fans know that we won't get Soto. He's obviously resigning with the Yankees, but it's smart to bid his contract as super high as possible to make sure the Yankees get pushed into the luxury tax as high as possible.
Anyone in this chat talking about his defense, as if that's an actual factor, is missing brain cells
so his defense doesn’t matter? at all? so because he’s a top 5 bat, but average-below average defender and base runner he’s worth 600+?
Real dodgers fans dont gaf about soto.. we want teo back for a fraction of the cost of soto
Phillies are a very dark horse in the Soto stakes! Just a gut feeling :-)
I agree the Nationals should be in.
Dodger fans keep saying they don’t want Soto and would prefer Teo (I love Teo btw) but if we can get Soto, get him. He will extend our championship by multiple years. Teo 32 < Soto 26.
The Angels need to be on this list of teams where he can go. They’re the dark horse.
@@Wallyb92 this move makes too much sense for artie. Soto isnt 35 yet, so artie wont offer him a 15 year deal 🤣
That is the dumbest reason for the jays💀

Dodgers won’t go there, and reports are already out that Soto’s an East Coast guy.
