Soto has never won an MVP or a Gold Glove, but somehow he's worth $700 million?! Atleast with Ohtani, he generates millions of revenue for the ball club he's on. Soto doesn't. Absolutely ridiculous.
They projected Ohtani will make the Dodgers over 1 billion in revenue of the life of his contract ... Talk about a dam bargain! Sluto will be lucky to generate 1/10 of Ohtani! PMSL muppet player and muppet team that signs him.
and he does not generate revenue for the organization outside of the baseball such as advertising or cooperate contracts, and he does not attract as many fans as Shohei. It feels like they are trying sooo hard to convince themselves.
Gold glove lolol he's not even a 5 tool player, below avg at everything but hitting, & will be 41 on that contract! I'll be furious if my teams incompetent front office is stupid enough to do this sigh.
I agree in that there should have been more 300M+ deals. Then several 400M, 500 and 600M. Going from tops of 360M right to 700M two years straight is nuts. I'd still want him on my team.
Mets are going to be saddled with debts for many years to come because of this 700mil+ contract. He's not a superstar like Ohtani and will not draw any new fans which means no new revenue for the team.
700 million plus for Soto is INSANE. He’s just a glorified DH. A 26 year old who can’t run the bases or play defense. Never has. Even when he was 19. This won’t end well.
He’s getting paid for consistency. Soto’s last two years in NY and San Diego are nearly identical. Soto doesn’t strike out, works the count, gets on base and you can count on 100+ RBI’s and 40+ HRs and you count him to be in the lineup for 150+ games a year . For his age and production value , he’s worth it
@ Depends on what the owner and team values. Obviously not all teams think he’s worth it. They tapped out at 600 million. Successful franchises who have recently won at the highest level tapped out. This tells us the remaining teams and owners are desperate. It takes more than one glorified young DH to win. As the Yankees and Padres experiment you mentioned taught us.
100% correct! And same people eating up the hype will be whining in no time 🙄 Hype train has gone totally off the rails. Will be beyond pissed if my incompetent front office actually does this!
Moronic hater response! His defense was pretty decent this year and with his amazing arm he threw dimes to get runners out at 2nd and home repeatedly! So your post is false and you won't age well! DH? He's not a DH... Shohei is!
They they willing to.pay for a player that doesn't have international market..and contract more than messi and d9nt have the fastest selling jersey like shohei..lol
Soto is going to get 700 M +. But if he doesnt win a MVP and World Series, the contract will be a failure. Hes going to fail to make the amount of money shohei does for a organization so lets get that out the way. This is beyond a Overpay. Only way to redeem is win a World Series and MVP.
All a team can do is break even on a deal like this. Even if he's top 3 MVP every year , you would get what you payed for. Anything less on any year is you as a team getting cheated out of your money. These are almost always bad deals even tho the athlete is superstar.
the discussion itself is ridiculous. Soto does not hit as many HR as Shohei（a lot less）, Soto’s defense is much below average, Soto does not steal bases, Soto has never won an MVP, and oh yeah, Soto doesn’t pitch. And if he gets a bigger or as big contract than Shohei, that’s ridiculous. His prime doesn’t count because he is already in his prime and what he has proven so far is those listed above.
even after listening to this episode, i’m still not convinced at all that Soto is worth $700+mil. I even feel you guys are hypnotized or trying too hard to be convinced.
Sounds like your a big hater and a jealous baby! Let's not forget.. Shohei didn't win his first MVP until he was 27 years old! 23-26 his hitting was no where near Sotos hitting! What I see studying baseball is that when players get near their 30s and early 30s is when the most home runs come in! When Soto is 30 he will probably hit 60+ home runs! Shohei isn't pitching, keeps getting injured to start seasons and he may end up being a huge mistake! Without Freeman the Dodgers and Shoheis low performance would've lost the World Series!
This skillset??? WAKE UP & STOP the bs hype 🙄 He's not even a 4 tool player let alone 5! Great hitter & below avg everything else...not to mention contract until he's 41! Trying to justify he's worth it is just stupid tbh 🤦
No way. All he can do is get on base. He’s never hit more than 40hr till this year. He will NEVER LEAD THE LEAGUE IN BA, HR, RBI’s or SB. Just on base %. What skill set? He gets a walk? He has no speed to steal a base. Good luck going from 1st to 3rd on a hit or score from 1st on a double. Bobby Witt is worth more than Soto. Soto can’t even field lol. Suckers will pay more $600. Imo a 14yr $560m is top end for him
This all assumes that he is the age that he is documented. I know immigrants who are not their listed age for one reason or another. Not saying it's nefarious or anything but it does happen and you can't go back and change it...just saying. So w/e team signs him better have a private eye determine he is 100% age 26.

@ Congrats. You signed him for 765 15 years. Enjoy! 😂
Juan Soto getting the bag. Teams locking down young players with extensions may actually be smart, well maybe not for the rays.
756M for 16 years in Queens. C'mon guys emergency episode with Atlanta Joe
Does he pitch also!? 😅
Does Shohei? Haven't seen it yet! One year down 9 to go
@@mattschultz5155 do you want to put your balls on the table that he won't pitch next year?
He’s coming to Boston baby
They they willing to.pay for a player that doesn't have international market..and contract more than messi and d9nt have the fastest selling jersey like shohei..lol
Soto to the Astros

He's not going to win MVP ever the overrated lying cheat. Can't wait till he breaks down then the next story - Sluto legacy as a has been PMSL!

If they unfroze Ted Williams what would he be worth in free agency ? 1 billion +?
These team are so desperate that they overpay for an above average batter and that it...
I would get it if he was the best hitter but hes not the best hitter or second.
700$ is insane as a sox fan Im out eff that spend the money elsewhere

No! Slow moving .285 hitting outfielder signed.
lol if i did not check his stats i would have thought he hit 60 hrs, batting .352
Soto more than ohtani its sick are soto really more marketable than ohtani? Ohtani DH but everything with ohtani name sells ..

It's stupid he's getting 700 mil
Soto is an example why College is a bad choice for some players.
Yoshinobu being highest paid pitcher is another example.
