Priceless that look I guess he won't be looking down on The Mets anymore since Sterns can match money for money equal or even more money if need be also players wanting to play In Flushing
It's befuddling to me that Yankee fans and (in this case you too brother Michael) are troubled, acting like Juan Soto was a 12-year Yankee when He was a one-year rental. How many feelings was he supposed to have acquired in that one year to place the needs and wants of the Yankee fans and Yankee organization over those of his family and himself?
Im a yankees fan but he was wrong allllllll year about the mets and he never once admitted it. He was questioning the 1 year contracts saying he doesnt get it and why are the mets doing it. And then he said lindor has the worst contract in sports in the beginning of the year.
For he’s job it’s actually great Soto went to the rivals! More to talk about and if the Yankees become better than the Mets for the next 5 years we end up winning the World Series he will sure rub it in! Let’s see time will tell who got the better deal!
I am 68 years old and a lifelong Yankee fan. In addition to that I have been a high school and college baseball umpire for over 25 years here in the south. Last year when the Yankees traded for SOTO deep down in my heart, I knew that he was gonna go elsewhere. what the Yankees must do is turned as negative into a positive and Yankee fans must continue to support the team and move on at the end of the day the Mets . Do not have to beat the Yankees to reach the World Series, they must beat the Dodgers I wish him the best and cannot wait for the 2025 season.
We did beat them twice in the CS one more than what Yankees did so who knows maybe adding a couple of pitchers could get it done along with the signing of Soto
The biggest lie that Kay perpetuates is that he is a journalist and a broadcaster and not a fan of the team that he covers. He is a Yankee fan through and through. Everything he talks about is through the prism of the Yankees. He can be discussing the Seattle Kraken of the National Hockey League and somehow he'll refer to the New York Yankees during that discussion. I think people would respect him more if he just came out and admitted he is as much of a Yankee fan now as when he was an 8 year old boy rooting for Horace Clarke and Jerry Kenney.
Don’t worry. We, Yankees fans will be laughing when the Mets don’t win a single World Series and we’ll be laughing at you when Soto turns into a very expensive DH 😂
@@MatrixDeception722 and your point? Mets have nothing to lose. We never win World Series’s so okay? Our new owner is worth 22 billion, wasted money okay? Yankees fans world’s are crumbling. Mets fans are built different because he don’t have the same expectations and pressure the Yankees organization does. For example: 23 years and 1 World Series. By Yankees standards that’s horrific and arguably the worst stretch in franchise history. Mets 38 years no World Series wins, just two appearances. Sooooo? How you think Mets fans will feel if Soto doesn’t work out? Meh another day. Meanwhile Yankee fans are have mental breakdowns 😂😂 we good over here bro
@@PatriotsAndTruth why would I be worried. We didn’t spend 765 millions on a guy who won’t even hit 700 homers. He is no Albert Pujols. Cohen overspent. I get why he did it. I’m just thankful he did the Yankees a favor although most of the fanbase doesn’t see it this way.
@@MatrixDeception722Like The Yankees didn’t offer Soto $765M. You guys wanted him bad and now that he will no longer be a Yankee you are shooting bad things. You are all hipped because of Max Fried, but guess what?, Fried is a version of Aaron Judge in the Playoffs… go do a research. He sucks in postseason
The Yankees WITH Soto couldn’t beat the Dodgers. Doubtful if the Mets WITH Soto can do it either. The Dodgers are only getting better especially with Ohtani now pitching as well. No other team in 2025 will be able to touch the Dodgers.
You literally quote him saying it wasn't only about the money and then say if you think it wasn't about the money good luck. It was about the way they would treat his friends and family. That was the final piece.
A stern message was sent by COHEN to STEINBRENNER and CASHMAN and the rest of the league; " Ther's a new marshall in town,; things are going to be done in a different manner from now on".
It shouldnt be that big of a deal. Yankees fans in large have seen the team win 5 or more championships. Mets fans have suffered a lot. Everything is relative.
@@mickeymelendez1605 it doesn’t. I’m relieved. Every bad thing you could ever say about the Yankees is now applicable to the mets. Steve Cohen is the richest owner in the history of the MLB. Even when adjusted for inflation, the Yankees were never as obscene as Steve Cohen. They paid the Red Sox $1.7 million for babe Ruth 😂😂😂
I love all the talk on the money side 765 mill is pocket change for Steve cohen and he’s gonna earn double that with Soto and the Mets specially if they’re winning
I'm neutral on Kay and he gets it wrong a lot, but this projection by Mets fans is comical. He couldn't care less that Soto signed with them. If anything, it gives him more fodder for his show to boost the ratings.
Soto said it himself after he hit the homer to send the Yankees to the World Series “YO SOY EL MEJOR” (I am the best in Spanish). He wanted the biggest contract and he didn’t want to be perceived less than Judge as the captain. He believes he’s the best and wants to be treated and compensated accordingly.
Soto is a great player and all the Yankees wanted him back. Mets are talking about how they are improved and their new image - the only thing they’ve got is an owner with a crazy amount of money… that’s it! If SC bought the Pirates, Soto would have signed there. Get over it Kay, the NYY can build a team without him and win.
Is it the money sure but you guys act like the family part wasn't a factor at all😂. Its not like the mets outbid the Yankees by 100mil 😂😂😂. People been saying the Yankees act like the military 😂😂😂😂.
With the signing bonus and incentives and add-ons down-the-line. The mets DID out bid the Yankees by basically 100 million. He doesn't give a s*** about the Met's. Soto would have gone to the Athletics if they offered him 850 million.
When considering durability, one has to think Juan Soto’s best asset (his hitting) will likely have more staying power when compared to, say, Judge and Ohtani who utilize their youth and athleticism and thus have a smaller window of time to showcase it, and who’s injuries will likely have an impact on their performance within the next few years.
This is all about a pissing match between the Yankees and Mets. We al know what is going to happen next, Soto will slump and because he was only paid for his bat, Met nation is going to have a field day
My brother is a diehard Yankee fan and he said if he was Soto he would go to the Mets too. I don’t get why Yankee fans are so angry and depressed about it … he was a free agent and played with them for a few months lol
Mets already covered Soto's defensive deficiencies by upgrading to a more athletic and quicker outfielder in center field......Siri will make Soto's job easier in the outfield.
Is it me or are Yankees fans coping by now just hating on the guy and push all the blame on Soto not signing and none on the Yankees. Even with the out bidding the Yankees are now a problem but when George was doing it to buy championships it was ok. It’s fun watching the freak out but they need someone to counter the bs. Yankee fans believe there’s a pedigree to being a Yankee but if Judge doesn’t win a championship in his time there high on past Yankees bc Jeter wouldn’t be so high in baseball history if it wasn’t for the paid championship bc he wasn’t that good of a shortstop
Not sure if the report is true but there is an article going around that Soto was irked about judge, volpe, and others support for Trump. Again not sure if this is true
Always comes back to Trump with the drive by media. Hey, Rachel Maddow the other night tried really hard to link the killing of the USHC CEO to Trump. TDS is now a reason for a ballplayer to not sign with the Yankees. Amazing.
We are the yanks no matter what the truth is big players are bigger then the Mets no big player is bigger then the Yankees! We don’t bend down for no player! That mentality is what made and makes the Yankees the biggest franchise in baseball and all sports not just in America but in the world! I really hope during this 15 years of Soto in the Mets we face the Mets in the World Series. We will see who gets the last laugh at the end! 😊
So if all Soto cares about is bread then you should have offer more bread?😂 Kay knows good and well it was more than just money. Just own it and get over it.
I'm a Yankee fan and although I know how good Soto is, I'm happy the Yankees didn't sign him. Unless his name is Otani I wouldn't pay that kind of money for just one player. Now we can concentrate on getting good pitching. Let go Yanks we got this
I was all in with SOTO becoming an all-time Yankee... for sure I thought that the home cooking in the Bronx will make it for him to stay... He'll be an DH within 3-5 years.... Blame it on him not getting a free Family Suite .... 🤣
Guys, from the outside looking in, it seems like the Yankees, as great an organization as they are, do things a certain way, and they rely on their history and pedigree to influence players. I think they are out of touch with the human side of this equation. The Yankees feel like they’re run by robots. When the shine wears off, do you still like the robots? The issue with his family, no players contacting him, and the strictness of the organization. It’s not fun. Also, the way some fans reacted was deplorable. Why the hell do you want to sign there?
You need more rigs before that's even a consideration. I can't wait to watch the Mets choke with their hall of famer. Sotos family can watch him loose from their suite.
I feel bad for LA Greca. A little. He knows in his heart that Soto chose the Mets because of so many other reasons besides just money. But he flippantly agrees with Kay anyway. Over and over again. 😂
Too much romanticizing of these guys. They're co-workers. They're not dating. You make it sound like AaronJudge is a jilted and ghosted lover. Jeez Louise. Soto left one job to go to a better paying job, just like everyone else on earth. He's not impressed with the Pinstripes and the Yankees glorious historical record. Meanwhile they have one ring in the 21st century. These Yankees are not your father's, grandfather's, great-grandfather's and possibly great-great-grandfather's Yankees. It's not the 1950's when they actually did go to the WS every year and the Mick ain't coming back any time soon. The Yankees haven't been "The Yankees" in a very long time.
Kay did not call Soto below average fielder at any point during the season because he played a very good right field only at the end of the season did he make a couple of mistakes?
If Cashman and Hal didn't play this scenario out before they traded for Soto, then that's on them. Soto was a 1 year rental. Period. Boras doesn't do extensions. If Cashman/Hal didn't calculate Cohen's money, then they are just idiots. Cohen = $22b. Yankees won't make the same mistake with trading for Kyle Tucker. Reports are the Yankees are offering low level minor league players and Astros told them to pound sand.
Crazy part is that Soto its a below average Right Fielder but his defense never cost a Yankees an important game but judge being and elite outfielder cost the yankees the world series along with other players
It's important that SOTO is surrounded by a solid supporting cast. If this isn't done, the signing is worthless. That means that both ALONSO and MANAEA must be re-signed and COHEN,not STEARNS, has to sign a premier starter. THE MONEY IS THERE.
Sad to see this show ending. However, believe solo Kay will be very successful. Give less chance to Don and Peter pairing. They need Michael as a foil.
My man nobody in their right mind is making a decision based around 3/4 of a billion dollars & 15 years because some dude texted him like “hey bro, what’s good bro?! You should play here! We can do some shots & some FIFA.” Delusional.
The communication is a 2 way street. The same way he wanted to be contact by Yankees players he could’ve reached out, and not acted like the big shot. Another thing is, the Mets are not always the laughing stock of free agency. Remember johan Santana? Pedro Martinez? Carlos Beltran? Carlos Delgado? They had success during free agency, they just sucked
MOST Noticeably..."Juan, have you spoken to any of you old Yankees teammates?" Answer: "No, I haven't spoken to any of them" TRANSLATION: The Yankees NEVER HAD A CHANCE to sign him...ps I wasn't $$$..!!
Obviously money dictates decisions for the most part but I also think Soto was comfortable leaving places. He left Washington and San Diego and never seemed to be scarred by that so leaving the Yankees in some odd way was the easiest because he's already in New York
I hear you guys go on and on about Soto choosing the Mess for the rest of his career, and apparently not getting any calls from Yankee teammates during the offseason. Yes, it was the $$$$. But I also think it was about not being "the man". He must have realized he would NEVER be "the man" as long as Judge is there. Players have egos that go along with their talent.
Yeah unprecedented. Like Ted Williams, Babe, Mickey, Willie,Joe D, Stan, Hank, Lou, Junior didn't do this. The truth is their numbers destroy Sotos.. this is his 4th team and he just turned 26
4th team because he set himself up for a well earned payday, rejected first offer of 440 @ 15 years from home grown club, then rejected 760 @ 16 years from Yankees while rejecting other multiple 700 million dollar offers. The truth is this kid is likeable, appealing to most but hated by only Yankees nation.
You can see the pain in his face he regrets he signing he knows the Mets will never be a dynasty garbage just like Robinson canal he regrets when he left the Yankees to the Seattle Mariners. His career is over.😂😂😂😂
The final interview with the Yankees after they lost game 5 of the World Series told me he was out. I don’t even blame the Yankees players not to reach out after that interview. I can clearly say I wouldn’t live with myself if I pay 1 player not named ohtani 700 million+ I’m sorry he pitches and hits 🤷🏻♂️ he’s the unicorn of baseball right now. Soto? Amazing player but not worth more than ohtani.
Yankees fan but I'm happy Soto got paid he performed as a Yankee and that's all we can ask for. Be mad but kets be honest we need more than Juan we have Judge who i still believe in personally. Jazz is a future Superstar and will be a fan favorite. We have a gold glove SS with a solid hit tool and proved he's ready for the big lights. We have a switch hitting CF in the Martian and a reliable utility player who plays multiple positions. Now we need to build, 2 left handed bats that hit above league average and have pop and are plus OAA defensive players and we need that to be another OF a second baseman and 1st baseman. RF, SS,3B we got covered CF we hope the Martian is our future.
Rejection is protection. Yankees would be wrong to pay Soto 2 times what their best player, Judge makes. Soto us great but $765 million is way too much.
I take all these extraneous stories coming out with a grain of salt. No one will ever truly know the choices in Soto’s mind that led him to join the Mets. But this all seems like a smear campaign to paint him in a good light and it gives the sports shows more to talk about every day.
You can see the pain and anguish in Kay’s face
Aren't you SPECIAL 😂😂😂
bro look at 3:20 when cohen says we are making this a family friendly environment he looks destroyed

Too much romanticizing of these guys. They're co-workers. They're not dating. You make it sound like AaronJudge is a jilted and ghosted lover. Jeez Louise.
Soto left one job to go to a better paying job, just like everyone else on earth. He's not impressed with the Pinstripes and the Yankees glorious historical record. Meanwhile they have one ring in the 21st century.
These Yankees are not your father's, grandfather's, great-grandfather's and possibly great-great-grandfather's Yankees. It's not the 1950's when they actually did go to the WS every year and the Mick ain't coming back any time soon.
The Yankees haven't been "The Yankees" in a very long time.
Michael Kay does not want to do this lol. He’s over this and can’t wait for Soto to go hitless for 2 straight games lol.
Tou have two DOMINICAN reporters askingquesrions in SOANISH. I could tell by their accent.
Kay did not call Soto below average fielder at any point during the season because he played a very good right field only at the end of the season did he make a couple of mistakes?
If Cashman and Hal didn't play this scenario out before they traded for Soto, then that's on them. Soto was a 1 year rental. Period. Boras doesn't do extensions. If Cashman/Hal didn't calculate Cohen's money, then they are just idiots. Cohen = $22b. Yankees won't make the same mistake with trading for Kyle Tucker. Reports are the Yankees are offering low level minor league players and Astros told them to pound sand.
Now Yankee fans know how it feels when small market teams loose their star players
Crazy part is that Soto its a below average Right Fielder but his defense never cost a Yankees an important game but judge being and elite outfielder cost the yankees the world series along with other players
judge needs to play right.
bahahahahahhahaha hahahah ....hahahahahhahahahaha.. great takes michael...great takes....
It's important that SOTO is surrounded by a solid supporting cast. If this isn't done, the signing is worthless. That means that both ALONSO and MANAEA must be re-signed and COHEN,not STEARNS, has to sign a premier starter. THE MONEY IS THERE.
with that whole Mets brass, its appears charisma is on the lifetime IL, ooph, tough to listen to.
I genuinely do not care how he fields. Marte has also been below average last couple of years
And Stearns acquired Siri, an elite elite CF to help
He is going to destroy the Yankees for 15 maybe 20 years. MLB will mark this date every single season 😂
“He took the $”. As if the Yankees didn’t throw 760 million at him lol.
Sad to see this show ending. However, believe solo Kay will be very successful. Give less chance to Don and Peter pairing. They need Michael as a foil.
My man nobody in their right mind is making a decision based around 3/4 of a billion dollars & 15 years because some dude texted him like “hey bro, what’s good bro?! You should play here! We can do some shots & some FIFA.”
Delusional.
The communication is a 2 way street. The same way he wanted to be contact by Yankees players he could’ve reached out, and not acted like the big shot. Another thing is, the Mets are not always the laughing stock of free agency. Remember johan Santana? Pedro Martinez? Carlos Beltran? Carlos Delgado? They had success during free agency, they just sucked
BWAHHHHJ KAY MELTING AWAY HAHAHAHAHAH SHILL CANT HANDLE HIS YANKS ARE #2
how are they #2 ? lol
When you win something then come back and talk?
Michael Kay is jealous. Lol Let’s go Mets
MOST Noticeably..."Juan, have you spoken to any of you old Yankees teammates?" Answer: "No, I haven't spoken to any of them" TRANSLATION: The Yankees NEVER HAD A CHANCE to sign him...ps I wasn't $$$..!!
Obviously money dictates decisions for the most part but I also think Soto was comfortable leaving places. He left Washington and San Diego and never seemed to be scarred by that so leaving the Yankees in some odd way was the easiest because he's already in New York
Coping
I hear you guys go on and on about Soto choosing the Mess for the rest of his career, and apparently not getting any calls from Yankee teammates during the offseason. Yes, it was the $$$$. But I also think it was about not being "the man". He must have realized he would NEVER be "the man" as long as Judge is there. Players have egos that go along with their talent.
Family ???
Yeah unprecedented. Like Ted Williams, Babe, Mickey, Willie,Joe D, Stan, Hank, Lou, Junior didn't do this. The truth is their numbers destroy Sotos.. this is his 4th team and he just turned 26
4th team because he set himself up for a well earned payday, rejected first offer of 440 @ 15 years from home grown club, then rejected 760 @ 16 years from Yankees while rejecting other multiple 700 million dollar offers. The truth is this kid is likeable, appealing to most but hated by only Yankees nation.
@@jcoll33 and Nats and Padres.. he could be traded again in 5 years if anyone wants that contract.
You’re comparing HOFers to Soto when he still has 15 years to play? That’s desperation
@metfish Stearns was talking like nobody ever has achieved what Soto has so early in career.. I mean seriously?
You can see the pain in his face he regrets he signing he knows the Mets will never be a dynasty garbage just like Robinson canal he regrets when he left the Yankees to the Seattle Mariners. His career is over.😂😂😂😂
Look Yankee fan here you are not going to be able to get everyone we can still win let’s go Yankees 🫡🫡🫡🫡
If you were a Yankee WHY WOULD U WANT HIM ON YOUR TEAM MAKING ALL THAT MONEY FURTHER AFFECTING YOUR CONTRACT… think people
Because without him they wouldn't have even been a wild card team. Duh!
Get your money kid lol
The final interview with the Yankees after they lost game 5 of the World Series told me he was out. I don’t even blame the Yankees players not to reach out after that interview. I can clearly say I wouldn’t live with myself if I pay 1 player not named ohtani 700 million+ I’m sorry he pitches and hits 🤷🏻♂️ he’s the unicorn of baseball right now. Soto? Amazing player but not worth more than ohtani.
Cohen will probably buy Soto his own private jet if he asks for one.
He will ask for one. This guy is worse than Arod
We're paying that man to hit! He can playing the rest of his career at DH for all i care.
Yankees fan but I'm happy Soto got paid he performed as a Yankee and that's all we can ask for. Be mad but kets be honest we need more than Juan we have Judge who i still believe in personally. Jazz is a future Superstar and will be a fan favorite. We have a gold glove SS with a solid hit tool and proved he's ready for the big lights. We have a switch hitting CF in the Martian and a reliable utility player who plays multiple positions. Now we need to build, 2 left handed bats that hit above league average and have pop and are plus OAA defensive players and we need that to be another OF a second baseman and 1st baseman. RF, SS,3B we got covered CF we hope the Martian is our future.
Rejection is protection. Yankees would be wrong to pay Soto 2 times what their best player, Judge makes. Soto us great but $765 million is way too much.
Give me 760m$…you can hate me all you want,see if I care
These guys are trying everything in their power to make Soto into a bad guy.
20 years? playing til he's 46? Come on bro 😂😂
Not playing, Coaching
He doesn't have to play RF necessarily yah goof
LGM 🧡 💙
I take all these extraneous stories coming out with a grain of salt. No one will ever truly know the choices in Soto’s mind that led him to join the Mets. But this all seems like a smear campaign to paint him in a good light and it gives the sports shows more to talk about every day.
