If the Yankees lose Soto to the Mets or Red Soxs it would be disgraceful. The Mets make me nervous because Cohen isn't afraid to dip into his own personal wealth, outside of baseball to spend on payroll. In my opinion...If Soto wants the highest offer, I think he's going to be playing for the Mets. |

Who feels the Yankees have to match the best offer given to Soto and who feels there is a point in which you just move on? For those willing to move on, what would your top offer be? I'm in the camp of moving on if it gets over $650mm. I also think $650mm might be a mistake. I think that the Yankees should match the highest offer, if that offer is within reason. In my opinion, Hal should make Soto a take it or leave it offer of 50 million for 14 years. That would be 700 million dollars. If that's not enough to convince him to stay with the Yankees, then the Yankees should move on. Yes, that would be 10 million dollars more per year than Judge. But in my opinion, the Ohtani contract raised the pay scale. |

I know it will never happen but if Soto signs someplace else Cashman should be fired immediately.

According to Michael Kay, the Mets owner has already stated that no matter what any team offers Soto, he's willing to offer $50 million to top that offer, so I would say it's time for the Yankees to make their offer, and once its declined, move on. |

And you know that sooner rather than later, Judge would feel snubbed by such a deal, and would want to renegotiate his contract with the Yankees. At some point all this insane money will become detrimental to the team. |

If Soto goes to the Mets. Cashman is stuck with Grisham and a participation trophy. |

Why not, since Carlos Baerga tells the media all he knows about the free agent offers being made from within? |

I'm pretty sure if Soto signs with another team that the Yankees will use the money that they were going to pay Soto to sign other players. |

Just saw a Heyman interview. He said he thinks there is a chance Soto gets a bigger deal than Ohtani because he is younger and really seems willing to play anywhere. He felt Ohtani was really only considering the Dodgers. Heyman said if he had to bet today it would be the Mets followed by the Blue Jays. Just an opinion of course but there really is a lot of smoke around the Mets. Perhaps they are leaking stuff to get teams to drop out or maybe they will do whatever it takes to sign him. That fact that Soto played a year in Pinstripes, at least IMO has no bearing on where he ends up. I really think both he and Boras want a record deal here and will take the highest bid. IF Cash has any relationship he should ask to be able to match the best offer but I'm not sure that would even work because I think Boras would keep negotiating until all but one team dropped out. However this plays out I sure hope it's done before Christmas and before other FAs start signing. One thing for sure, we can count on a couple Soto stories each day before he signs. REality is starting to set in with me and while I don't believe everything I read about these negotiations I'm beginning to feel it is very unlikely that Soto returns to the Bronx.

I'm pretty sure if Soto signs with another team that the Yankees will use the money that they were going to pay Soto to sign other players. That's the issue. Signing Burns and getting another closer helps. There isn't anyone out there as good as an in the start of his prime Soto. Most options are old or question marks. That "OTHER" superstar is not out there. They can spend and bring in quantity but it's not quality. |
