I’ve been watching Soto’s 3 run hr vs Gaddis on my social media feed. If anyone hasn’t seen it I highly recommend watching it. The guy is a beast. One of the best at bats you’ll ever see, one I hope to never forget. At one point he’s licking his chops… just wearing down Gaddis! lol!

All the breakdowns, all the reaction videos on TikTok, I can't get enough!  |

I wonder how Bob Gibson would've handled the stare down and Soto shuffle?

In Gleyber’s defense he became more entranced with the long ball when he hit 38 of them the year the ball was juiced, and Baltimore had a problematic short left field fence to aid him. He thought he could do that every year, maybe lead the league… In 2019 Gleyber Torres hit home runs in the neighborhood where Mike Trout, Kyle Schwarber, Nolan Arenado and Freddie Freemen live. Lots of guys in that part of town end up with 9 figure deals. I am sure Gleyber had those thoughts in his head. Who wouldn't ? I checked the numbers for that season and Torres hit 20 of his home runs at home. The ball was alive that season but everything had to be working for him that year. Guys have outlier years. Roger Maris set the home run record with 61 but never got to 40 in any season before or after. Sometimes things just work for you. I saw an article on bleacher report the other day ranking the top ten hitting FAs for next year. Gleyber was ranked 10. What surprised me was they projected his next contract at 3 years and $21 MM. That seems really low to me. I would resign him for that in a minute and suspect he will get much more than that. I'm golfing today, but if I can remember I will try to find the story. |

I think his second half gets him a pretty decent deal… where is the question… |

Is that 21 million per year? |

What is the market for "middle tier" free agents this year ? Last year guys not named Ohtani were disappointed. Most of us thought Bellinger, Snell, Montgomery and Candelario would do better than the deals they signed. The cable money for lots of teams is still up in the air. The Yankees are in a good financial position revenue wise but some other teams are not. Torres is still young and for the Yankees that deal makes sense. I don't know if it would make sense for other clubs. |

Is that 21 million per year? Found article. If I'm reading it correctly, Spotrac values Torres at 3/21. Both I and the author feel they are really under valuing him. bleacherreport.com/articles/10139894-ranking-juan-soto-and-the-top-10-hitters-of-the-2024-25-mlb-free-agent-class |

Yeah, there's no way he's only getting 7 million per year, not in today's market. |
