They didn't move Betts to infield to run up the price. They don't need to as Yankees, Blue Jay's, Red Sox and Mets are already doing it. Dodgers really want to have 4 Hall of Famers 1-4 in order to bump their evaluation from 5 billion to 10 billion.
Would love to see Dodgers and Padres rivalry escalate up a notch with former Padres Soto and Blake Snell on the Dodgers. Soto vs Machado stare down. LOL....Bring it on!
I'm so disappointed I'm not going to hold you. I don't want Soto he doesn't even fit into the Dodgers culture at all! he is cocky and arrogant and his defense is not great at all, he lets so many balls drop that are catchable. I hope its not true, I don't like his personality. Everyone is saying you cannot pass on such a talent, well a good team mate is more than talent. They're personality needs to fit and I don't believe his does. I really wanted Teoscar back he fit within the Dodger culture so well.
I'm torn; Soto is a great offensive player, but Teo is probably overall a better fit for the Dodgers. I will say if the Dodgers do sign Soto, it would almost be worth it just to see the reaction from MLB.
@@laartwork I mean Teo seems to be a better fit as a teammate. His attitude appears more positive, and his leadership skills seem to surpass what I've observed from Soto.
Imagine the reactions from teams like NY Yankees, Mets, BlueJays, Redsoxs, and hated rival Padres. Heads are about to explode!! Love every minute of this.
Breaking News: Dodgers offer Soto a 35 year 700 mill deal. There is a 665 mill signing bonus and 1 mill per year after that. Small market teams are currently rioting in the streets
I’m all in on Teo. But as I’ve said repeatedly now, if you have the chance to sign one of the top 5 hitters in all of pro baseball…….And to your point, true. We could still sign Teo and another pitcher like Sasaki.
I disagree we need great defense we have the hitting already, and all he brings is hitting because his defense is not good at all. He lets a lot of catchable balls drop. Teo is both a great hitter and a great outfielder. I'm not feeling this move at all not one bit. Dude is cocky and arrogant and doesn't fit the Dodger fabric or culture.
@@westcoast_ninja11 believe me…I agree with you. I’d rather have someone who can track and catch fly balls. I’m also Teo all the way. We already have the best lineup in the bigs. But if you’re looking at it from an Andrew Friedman perspective, why not throw a number at him and see if he bites? Even if we can still sign Teo in the end. I feel like if Soto does take the offer we’ll still sign Teo when it’s all said and done.
@@funkvillain now if that happens I have no issues with it. I just don't want to miss out on Teo he played a gigantic roll in the Dodgers chipping. You make perfect sense toss the number out there and see if they bite. I feel you, thanks for making it make sense.
After competing against Soto in Washington, San Diego, and NY, I don't see him As a Dodger clubhouse fit. If I listened to every rumor we are also getting Burns, Fried, Sasaki, Adames, and trading for Correa and Arenado. To me ask 3 questions before you decide for yourself 1)was he drafted by Friedman? 2) is he tight with any current Dodgers? 3) Can the Dodgers to play him at DH ever? So no I don't believe the Dodgers are in on Soto at 600 mil period, Not sure, highly doubt it ., 4 at 60 per maybe not 10.
Everyone saying they don’t want Soto is crazy ! Yes we love teo but Juan Soto is 26 yrs old and a superstar during both the post szn and reg szn 26 not 31 32 33 he’s young and it adds a major X factor we get him it’s nearly garauntee we are a dynasty in the makkng
Sentimental Dodger fans who want Teoscar instead of Soto are crazy. Soto is a generational talent. Mookie and Freddie won't be here forever and when they are gone? Soto will be here to anchor the Dodgers along with Shohei. Fans can be so short-sighted
I don't think Soto is necessary at this point, we have Shohei and so many others in their primes but this move might be for 4 or 5 years from now when Mookie and Freedie are at the end or nearing. You have one of the best right fielders ever on the roster who can help Soto clean up his mistakes in right field. I just don't see Soto as a Dodger though.
Take the money out of it, dodgers tapped into the untapped Japan market. Now why not sign Soto? Everyone is counting the dodgers money for them 😅. Just enjoy the ride cause we’re getting to live thru a start of a dynasty being born 🍻
Understand deferrals are based on placing an amount of money into an account or investment that will equal the amount deferred when payment comes due. So the Guggenheim Group who specializes in investments are actually making money on top of these deferrals. It is also considered revenue, so that is going to be put back into the team. The Dodgers are securing their own future with these deferrals as well as their present. I don't think you could find a more intelligent and opportunitunistic ownership group. Go Blue
The dodgers get TEO...Soto is a bonus, lol. I do believe they'd get both of them. I don't believe the non sense that they sign Soto, they're out on TEO. LF and RF will be locked down, with Tommy in CF.
Ohtani is 70 mil a year and Soto is looking for 45-50 million a year. Why can't Dodger fans do the math? He isn't looking for 600 10 years. He is only 26 so 8 of those years are prime. Unlike the other Dodgers. He has a career OPS+ of 160! Betts, Freeman and Harper are in the 140 range. Teoscar is 120 (Avg is 100) He plays right field and Dodgers don't have one in right. He was better than Teoscar in the field. This is the rare occasion to get a future Hall of Famer BEFORE his prime. If you want to see him collect his 500th homerun, 1500 rbi with another team you do not want the Dodgers to be a Dynasty How quick you forget you thought the Paders were going to trounce the Dodgers in the playoffs.
1) Defense is a higher priority for the Dodgers compared to other teams 2) The Dodgers DH slot has a permanent resident 3) Dodgers are in a position where they can shop for high value. So Soto is not a natural fit for the Dodgers. Ohtani is excellent value for the money. Soto is not at 600m+.
@@laartwork Ohtani pays for himself directly in increased revenue. Soto only pays for himself by the team who gets him becoming a contender. More Japanese watched game 2 of the world series than Americans. Soto will have no such effect anywhere he goes. Soto brings offense. Ohtani brings offense, pitching and the pinnacle of celebrity. Soto is Mike Trout without the D.
@@laartwork I think the value he meant is in regards to ability for a ball club to generate money from the player which Ohtani vastly creates for LA. Soto doesn't have a worldwide attention draw compared to Ohtani.
I doubt Soto is a dodger. Yes he was offered but that’s as far as it gets. Cohen is already going to give Soto the most money and they have a descent team already they are. Soto shy of winning it all. Dodgers will have a handful next season if he goes to the Mets.
The more I think about it……. Soto makes sense. I Love Teo. I want Teo now! But he’s got 2-4 maybe 5 years left in him. Soto’s upside is bigger. Soon the league will create rules to end the dodgers ability to sign people as we know it. Just like the NBA did to the Lakers. Caps, and incentives for teams to keep drafted players. There’s a stoppage already planned in about 2 years. The small market teams will inevitably have their way. The dodgers are in the business to be the absolute very best they can with in their means. Not the best while being the nice guys too. I’m sure this conversation has been had by decision makers.
top 3 best hitters and his the youngest form the 3 Ohtani,Judges and Soto, Soto only 26 years, possibly can get better. Dodgers will have 2/3 the of the the best hitters
Everybody forgetting Soto said All-Star week he wanted to be teammates with teammates with shohei ohtani Yankee fans got mad at that time too he going to be a dodger mark my words
As much as I like Teo…I’m with signing Soto…the fact they never closed the deal with Teo led me to believe plan A was signed Soto…Teo’s a great guy, but Soto would be a massive upgrade…plus I don’t believe all the Soto is a me me guy and not a team player that some Dodgers fans keep repeating…nobody has ever said any of that about Soto
Pretty sure that Teo has not signed with ANYONE because his value will shoot up once Soto has chosen to sign with a team. Those teams will start to look at alternatives and Teo will get higher offers. Teo's bidding basically doesn't come into play until Soto starts the dominoes effects
We’re going to be the most hated team.. and I’m loving it..
No Soto! Yes Teoscar!!!!
I don't get it. Why all these people keep spreading rumor about SOTO. Just say NO to SOTO. We don't need SOTO. period. What not to get?
I heard the dodgers are just trying to run up the price on Soto. I don’t think this is going to happen. Let’s see.
Hope so. We know that the Mets vowed to put spend everyone.
They didn't move Betts to infield to run up the price. They don't need to as Yankees, Blue Jay's, Red Sox and Mets are already doing it. Dodgers really want to have 4 Hall of Famers 1-4 in order to bump their evaluation from 5 billion to 10 billion.
Same! Dodgers move markets so I think they're just creating chaos.
I sure hope you're correct we don't need Juan Soto we need both of the Hernandez back.
Would love to see Dodgers and Padres rivalry escalate up a notch with former Padres Soto and Blake Snell on the Dodgers. Soto vs Machado stare down. LOL....Bring it on!
Actually we don't want SOTO. I don't see fit. We don't need SOTO just to spite Padres. Who cares.
I'm so disappointed I'm not going to hold you.

Get both
Thumbs down for Soto/ Sign Teo !!
Agree! Whatever Teo asked for, we can re-sign Buehler & others.
Teo is awesome, but Soto is 26! He has a whole lot of baseball left in him. 600+ million is wild though.
@perez82i He is good. But, for the price, we can't afford to re-sign our players.
@lancetruong4957 it's 45-50 million a year. They can still sign anyone they want.
@@perez82i exactly love Teo but Soto is a generational hitter and is 26 ! I’m assuming there will be deferred money

Definitely see your point
No Soto. Yes to Teo
Rumor is Mets
This is bullshit. There’s no way he is signing with the Dodgers don’t fall for this crap
I’ll be happy he’s good and he’s young we would have him in his best years
Great point.
Soto needs to be sign over teo

Wtf,happened to teo Hernandez.
Not sure what the plan is now.
Friedman is NOT overpaying for Soto.
My first choice is both Hernandez. But if the consolation prize is Soto…can’t complain.

He isn't a personality fit with Dodgers
Don't do it,omg.
Teo needs to come back
Jajajaja😂😂😂😂😂go soto go Dodgers❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He sleighted Will Smith when he said it’s the first 3 hitters that are tough outs lol
Will Smith was down in the lineup and was batting under 200 after all star break. So he didn't sleight.
@ don’t do him like that. So he had a bad 2nd 1/2 of the year. Still .258 BA, SLG% 400’s, OPS 800’s career
Is this happening or am I really in LA LA land?
No soto
No Soto! Sign Teo & Tyler O'Neil . O'Neil is 2x gold glove winner and can hit you 30hr batting 6th or 7th.
Unlikely
no soto please
I am trippin
Why replay the previous rumors? Pure pasture poop!
😮???
Soto will sign with Dodgers. He is to young to pass up.
