I'm sorry but Yankees fans are talking about Soto like he spent his whole career there. You were the third time he's played for. He won a World Series with the Nationals. He even spent more time with the Padres. It's hardly a betrayal… as a nats fan WHY ARE THEY MAD!!!!
Dude no mlb player dreams of being a Washington national 😂 that’s just a place for players who aren’t good enough for better places , you’ll never have a great player decide to stay there(edit: hey guys I’m not a Yankees fan , just a dodger fan talking shiii, so y’all can stop with all the Yankee slander 😂 I hate them too)
@@Angel4298G That's not true at all. Scherzer, Strasburg, Harper, all of those players spent several of their prime years in Washington. Vladimir Guerrero Sr. And they're one of the youngest franchises.
@@TiagoGomez-hb9te Looks clunky in the outfield and gives off Manny Machado prima donna vibes which is bad for the clubhouse. Plus we already won without him and it wasn't even close. Saved a lot of unnecessary expense IMHO.
You could see it after that locker room interview following Game 5 of the World Series. Soto did not come across as a player eager to return to the Yankees. He sounded like a free agent, who was ready to move on and go to the highest bidder. And he did.
Exactly , and as a real fan ? No way in hell did I want that contract on the books . Do you know much we would suck for years with Soto eating 51 million alone every year on a 300 million budget? We dodged a bullet and if you know the Mets ? Like the jets ? And the nets ? Soto will blow his back out by year 3
When the Yankees lost the World Series, it hurt their chances of resigning Soto. The Dodgers had a $1 billion offseason last year and the Yankees were hesitant to sign any of the Top-tier free agents because of their luxury tax situation at the time.
Ouch, I feel for Yankees fans. The Dodgers kick you in the teeth and beat you in the World Series now your hot girlfriend leaves you for your richer yet less successful neighbor. 😂
Soto was there for one whole year, and Yankee fans act like he was a Yankee lifer since birth or something. Not getting Soto will most likely turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Yankees anyway because there's no way Soto is worth $765-mil. He's good, but not that good. But if Yankee fans are still mad that Soto went elsewhere for more money, then they should instead be mad at Hal for not ponying up that extra $5- or $6-mil to outbid Mets.
It depends on the marketability of the player that determines the worth. The Dodgers made back the 700m on Shohei in one year based on all the viewer/sponsorship, ticket and merch sales. I'm in the Philippines, and I watched the Dodgers all year long because of Shohei. I do not know Soto's juice in the Latin American market, but if it's even 15 percent of Shohei's in Asia, the contract is worth it in the long run.
@kaleosin7871 its all to much money it is out of control people need to stop . Enough is enough the world continues to divide Rich and poor people need to stop the madness.
Yankees fans breaking down over their star leaving for money is hypocracy at its worst Their franchise built their dynasties on other teams' stars doing exactly that
Thats not true at all, there wasnt a single dynasty team in the Yankees history that was loaded with FA talent. Most of their best talent was either homegrown, signed low for a long period of time like Brett Gardner or chose to move teams after their past team fucked up big time like Mark Teixera or Alex Rodriguez. Pretty much every single big contract in Yankees history was an extension contract, not a trade contract(aka resigning a player for a ton of money rather than trading for a player using tons of money)
😂😂 I'm a Yankees fan but omg! The meltdown I'm seeing is crazy... I went into a Yankees Group and say we need to stop the btching and crying and get Cashman fired and was met with hundreds of comments saying how fake I was 😂 I'm literally standing dressed with everything Yankee on my profile pic... 😂 At this point I'm just having fun with all the crybabies.. The big problem with the Yankees is up on the management of the team.
I think the thing that hurts most for Yankees is that in the end it really wasn’t about the money. The contract structure, and the preference of ownership was most likely the deciding factor here. So basically he chose to be with “little brother” over them and that’s got to be a massive reality check over there
Baseball stopped being a sport decades ago. It’s a business. The only losers will always be the fans. Ticket prices are ridiculous. The concession prices are ridiculous. Less and less people give a shit about baseball every year and that’s a shame. It was great once. I’m old enough to remember, but those days are gone forever.
I've been a Yankee fan since the early 1970's and been blessed to witness at least 7 championships in my lifetime. The greatest players were not big contract players or purchases like A Rod or Soto...the greates came up from the farm system and they didn't play for money ...they played for the fans and the team legacy.
I KNEW SOTO WOULDN’T BE BACK, BUT WHAT HE DID IN PINSTRIPES WAS PRETTY SPECIAL…..AND FOR THAT, I SAY THANK YOU. I WOULD RATHER HAVE HIM IN THE NL THAN THE AL EAST…..EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT THE NL IS OHTANI’S PLAYGROUND SO SOTO WILL HAVE HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM…. NOT ONLY THE DODGERS TO CONTEND WITH, BUT ALSO PHIL & ATL. GOOD LUCK.
Soto said he wanted to grow facial hair. He said it's boring being a Yankee with their boring rules, lol. Yankees loved him two days ago, saying he is worth whatever he is offered; now their tune is different and they're BIG MADDDD, LMFAOOOO. 😂
765 million for doing one thing is a travesty to baseball. At least arod could play defense and had a baseball iq when he was paid his massive first in sports.
@@jimboscooter432not really you just not seeing , people get paid for what they do and also people will pay you better if they really want you. You don’t have to be better , the Mets wanted him simple as that.
I think in the end the Yanks dodged a bullet. There have been players that have played with Soto and he's supposedly a very selfish egotistical person on and off the field.
Yankee fans are pissed cuz Soto chased the money….thats karma coming around and slapping every Yankee fan in the face cuz Yankee would buy their championships in the past. Now they are just another team who can shell out money. They ain’t special anymore.
The is an ignorant take, based on long ignorance over how the Yankees champ ship teams were built. Go ahead,look at the 96-2000 Yankees and tell us all exactly who were the high priced free agents brought in. Bernie, Posada, Pettitte, Rivera, Jeter, Mendoza, Lloyd, Bush... All homegrown players, and not the only ones, to have big impact for one or more championship winning teams. Tino, Paulie, Brosius, Clemens, Wells, Cone, and on and on, were trades. The big free agent pickup in 96 was Kenny Rogers. 98 it was El Duque, out of Cuba. That's really it for big free agent signings during the stretch. Outside of that, there were trades and signings of guys who were reclamation projects, second chance guys, vets who appeared to be done. Like Strawberry, Gooden, Raines, Boggs. Everyone always says they bought those rings, and it is as close to the opposite as it gets.
Yankees fans pissed that the Yankees can no longer consider the entire league their personal farm system. Now you know how the rest of the entire league has felt about the Yankees for decades.
This Yankee fan is happy, instead of overspending on Soto the Yankees can now go out and get a great left handed batter and some pitching (starting and bullpen.)
@@mikegraphone2736 Smashed? The Yankees lost two of the games because of defense and Judge is the best player on the team. I'm happy the Yankees are not spending $51 million a year on one player, they have already gotten Fried and, for the same price as Soto, have $24 million/yr to spend. Yes, I'm happy the Yankees did not spend that much on one player.
@@fridaysatjons1097 Sounds like wishful thinking from a delusional Mets fan. With Fried the Yankees will have an amazing rotation next year and plenty of cash to go get someone like Kyle Tucker plus bullpen help.
Well I'm a Mets fan , I totally love the idea of getting one of the best Sluggers in the league but come on He got traded for the Yankees. He don't ask for It , I spend the entire season telling my co workers he will only be a Yankee for one year to complete the contact. But Steve Cohen have the fight by KO sense Soto came out of Nationals . He just waited until he became Free agent because he knew No team will beat him in the money race for Soto.
People need to stop saying it’s only a difference of 5m$, it wasn’t. Of the contract details I’ve seen and I could be wrong, with the opt out/cancel, it’s 45$m in total money and 4.5mil AAV which goes up to over 10$mil AAV with one less year and no deferred money, where as it’s been reported that the Yankees did have deferred money. These contracts were not close financially and the Mets just way outbid the Yankees. Probably had nothing to do with him not wanting to be a yankee and just being a mercenary.
I may be wrong but I think as time passes the Yankees will benefit from this. Soto is a great player but we don’t know what Dominguez will bring but it appears he will bring a lot. The Yankees need a solid lead off hitter and a get on base guy who doesn’t strike out a lot. Soto will be Soto no matter where he goes but if the Yankees play their cards right they may come out better in the long run. Last years team, even thought they made it to the Series, was funky and out of sync. You never knew what you were gonna get. With just a couple adjustments that can change.
Yankees fans don’t be pissed that we lost Soto just remember that the Mets still have two win 25 more championships to come close to the Bronx bombers and we also have something else that the Mets don’t have that is a storied history and a place called moment park
It's not hard to figure out some obviously not all are spoiled Brat Yankee fans. If he took the Yankee deal he's a hero worth every penny now he's a traitor not worth the money and they rather giver out the largest contract to a left handed pitcher ever for 8 years 32 years old with a history of injury problems. Hilarious. Love it keep it up.
It just ain't about 4 million extra dollars a year that made the deal and if you believe this you're clueless. The Mets are the more exciting team in New York, look what we did last season. The Yankees are so boring to watch and they've lost their great Yankee aura a long time ago. Juan wanted to be a part of the exciting Mets, simple as that. New York is Mets town now. LFGM!!!!!!
I’m sooooo glad he’s going to the Mets and not the Dodgers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 in case you didn’t figure it out. I’m a dodger fan. Greetings from Southern California. 🤗💋🥰
It's coming out that ppl at the stadium didn't respect his ppl. It happened twice. Maybe he's a vibes guy. He sure is. He saw how much fun the Mets where having this year. He wanted that. He wasn't going to get that with the Yankees
No, he saw more money. If Yankees offered the literal same deal as the Mets, no serious person thinks he would choose the Mets. Yankees history matters, and not in a way where players just want to be part of it. It matters in marketing. You make more marketing money in pinstripes than in a Mets uni. You just do. You have a better chance of being in the postseason based on long historical, and recent track record, and that means more postseason money. And I'm not hating on Soto or the Mets over this. It is just a fact that the Yankees, if salary is equal, is objectively the better team to land on for all the reasons I laid out.
thepresidenthatesme5045 wrong. The Yankees didn't offer him basically the same contract. It's all about the money not some made up story about his uncle.
While this contract is crazy, it's not nearly half as crazy (literally) as Karim Benzema's contract who had a 2 year contract worth over $447 million dollars. Which is almost $224m/yr.
Rather Soto than Judge!! Very disappointed but Cohen wasn't going to stop. Soto has no loyalty and in sports players don't except Trout and look what that got him
Dawg I’m a yankee fan & this is just sad lmao, Whoever is talking shit did not see the contract & how the Yankees tried to play him. I would’ve left too. Besides that. The Mets have the BETTER Team. Soto watching. Judge just crumble in the post season. Another reason why I wouldn’t come back either. It’s just not the yanks time anymore sad to say. Mets got the most money, better organization. & are allowed to do whatever & not follow silly codes like the Yankees carry.
I've been a Yankees fan since 2003, but the 2023 and 2024 seasons have broken me. (Specifically, the organization's complete lack of accepting responsibility for blatantly obvious issues) I was waiting for Soto to officially go to the Mets to decide that now I'm a Mets fan. Cohen is the owner I wish the Yankees had. He is literally more like George Steinbrenner than George's own son. Cohen is really trying to build the dynasty the Yankees should have already built, and he's getting closer each move.
There’s two things going on here first Soto is showing his true colors. He is an absolute selfish mercenary and I would not want him on my team. I don’t care how good he is offensively that’s my opinion. The second thing going on here is shame shame on the Yankee fans you knew when you signed him That there was a chance he would be there for just one year and guess what he was there for just one year move on. I’m gonna tell you something Yankees. It’s a blessing in disguise. Now you can take all that money and get what you really need and you don’t need a megalomaniacwho doesn’t play any defense and may not be good for your clubhouse. Remember this Juan Soto has been on four teams in seven years and by the way, the Padres are doing well without him just remember that.
It’s not the same money as the Mets. Yankees offered 760 for 16 years. Mets offered $765 for 15 years, is not event close. It’s a year’s salary and 5 million.
*PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND* why a guy who was *traded* to the Yanks (so never asked to go there) & was a Yankee for a total of ONE year, owes the Yanks or their fans anything?
Juan Soto was the real winner he rejected a $400 million dollar contract from the Washington Nationals. Was trade twice and this was the first and most likely the only time he’ll ever be a free agent. The point is he gambled and won that’s why he’s the main winner of all this.
This is why you don’t get a guy for a one year rental, let alone buy merchandise Tbh the contract is way overpriced so all things considered most Yankee fans are split between being salty or recognizing we dodged a financial bullet
I don’t know why anyone is pissed about not getting Soto. I’m actually ashamed of the Mets.. what a disturbing deal to give any player! It would be a miracle if he completes that contract. There are so many players better than he is making a ton less. He’s good don’t get me wrong but the Mets just look like a bunch of chumps to me that overpaid severely for Soto. Yanks dodged a bullet..
I used to think like you but then I realized it's not my money why should I care. Steve Cohen has 22 billion dollars at age 68, might as well spend it before your time is up.
Yankees fans went from being the most annoying fan base in all of baseball to the funniest literally overnight. The lack of coping ability has been a shaedenfraudist dream.
It's the equivalent of going from the Lakers to the Clippers, only with more vitriol because it's either Yankees or Mets in NY. In L.A., that above trade would be met with a "(very long pause) whatever). Or Dodgers to Angels... same reaction: meh.
Probable unpopular opinion: Soto isn't worth over $765 million. I know that he's making $51 million AAV, but this isn't what he's worth. Hopefully, the Mets don't get another Bobby Bonilla.
arent the mets still paying that other players salary too from the old days? or did that finally end last year??? when the mets spend they sure do it wrong because there is no way soto should be making more than Ohtani. 😂
Thing is why I’m mad is Yankees are a better team and they made ws despite loss but Mets never made it money yes but I feel like he wants to be the Aaron judge of Mets shows how much of a selfish prick he is
I get why Yankees fans are upset, but lol they are acting like if Juan Soto was Derek Jeter suddenly deciding he wanted to play for the Red Sox after 2004. Dude was there for one year, and it was very clear he was a mercenary looking for the biggest bag. Ya think Juan Soto rejecting a $400M+ contract with the Nationals, ya know the team that drafted him and won a WS with, would have been the first clue. Or ya know, him saying all 30 teams are open to negotiate right after the WS ended.
He said forget you. Boone is Mr softee. I don't want him as manager. It is what it is This has to be a wake up call for the Organization something is not working
Yankees fans need to chill. Seriously. Soto can go where he chooses. As a Phillies fan, I get to see him on a regular basis now. He's a good player. I wish him luck...just not against the Phils.

The Yankees are so boring to watch and they've lost their great Yankee aura a long time ago. Juan wanted to be a part of the exciting Mets, simple as that. New York is Mets town now. LFGM!!!!!!
I’m sooooo glad he’s going to the Mets and not the Dodgers. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 in case you didn’t figure it out. I’m a dodger fan. Greetings from Southern California. 🤗💋🥰
Soto getting flipped around from one team to another more than a 304 gold digger.😂
It's coming out that ppl at the stadium didn't respect his ppl. It happened twice. Maybe he's a vibes guy. He sure is. He saw how much fun the Mets where having this year. He wanted that. He wasn't going to get that with the Yankees
It was all about the 💰
He sees a sinking ship so he decided to jump off.
No, he saw more money. If Yankees offered the literal same deal as the Mets, no serious person thinks he would choose the Mets. Yankees history matters, and not in a way where players just want to be part of it. It matters in marketing. You make more marketing money in pinstripes than in a Mets uni. You just do. You have a better chance of being in the postseason based on long historical, and recent track record, and that means more postseason money.
And I'm not hating on Soto or the Mets over this. It is just a fact that the Yankees, if salary is equal, is objectively the better team to land on for all the reasons I laid out.
@@snerdtergusonthe Yankees suck, they’re overrated
@snerdterguson Yeah, but he chose The Mets, you can think or say whatever you want. History is history, let's move forward now.
@@snerdterguson The Yankees basically offered the same contract. Soto didn't like how yankee fans treated him and his family.
thepresidenthatesme5045 wrong. The Yankees didn't offer him basically the same contract. It's all about the money not some made up story about his uncle.
While this contract is crazy, it's not nearly half as crazy (literally) as Karim Benzema's contract who had a 2 year contract worth over $447 million dollars. Which is almost $224m/yr.
Imagine calling the only World Series champion on the Yankees roster a bum…..lol dude they’re so stupid
As a jays fan I always love when Yankees fans are mad like this, Yankees fans are treating Soto like he was there the whole time 😂
Oh yeah, I forgot about the blue Jay's existence
Rather Soto than Judge!! Very disappointed but Cohen wasn't going to stop. Soto has no loyalty and in sports players don't except Trout and look what that got him
Dawg I’m a yankee fan & this is just sad lmao,
Whoever is talking shit did not see the contract & how the Yankees tried to play him. I would’ve left too.
Besides that. The Mets have the BETTER Team.
Soto watching. Judge just crumble in the post season. Another reason why I wouldn’t come back either. It’s just not the yanks time anymore sad to say. Mets got the most money, better organization. & are allowed to do whatever & not follow silly codes like the Yankees carry.
I've been a Yankees fan since 2003, but the 2023 and 2024 seasons have broken me. (Specifically, the organization's complete lack of accepting responsibility for blatantly obvious issues) I was waiting for Soto to officially go to the Mets to decide that now I'm a Mets fan. Cohen is the owner I wish the Yankees had. He is literally more like George Steinbrenner than George's own son. Cohen is really trying to build the dynasty the Yankees should have already built, and he's getting closer each move.
Always knew Soto wanted to stay in NY
There’s two things going on here first Soto is showing his true colors. He is an absolute selfish mercenary and I would not want him on my team. I don’t care how good he is offensively that’s my opinion. The second thing going on here is shame shame on the Yankee fans you knew when you signed him That there was a chance he would be there for just one year and guess what he was there for just one year move on. I’m gonna tell you something Yankees. It’s a blessing in disguise. Now you can take all that money and get what you really need and you don’t need a megalomaniacwho doesn’t play any defense and may not be good for your clubhouse. Remember this Juan Soto has been on four teams in seven years and by the way, the Padres are doing well without him just remember that.
This is very much true. Juan Soto’s too much of a Money Sink for most team, _except Steve Cohen_
Soto plays for the name on the back not the front
Yankee fans you guys need to grow up.
It's simple, the Mets have Grimmace
It’s not the same money as the Mets. Yankees offered 760 for 16 years. Mets offered $765 for 15 years, is not event close. It’s a year’s salary and 5 million.
Plus the extra 45 million after the 5 years
0:31 Brother, he chose the better deal. As a Yankee fan, I respect his decision. I’m still upset, but it isn’t the end of the world guys.
*PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND* why a guy who was *traded* to the Yanks (so never asked to go there) & was a Yankee for a total of ONE year, owes the Yanks or their fans anything?
Ball players are hired guns. Never get too attached to them while they’re on your team.
Clowns I never get why regular ppl idolize athletes. lol
Deal with it, as a cub fan this is every year for us.
Juan Soto was the real winner he rejected a $400 million dollar contract from the Washington Nationals. Was trade twice and this was the first and most likely the only time he’ll ever be a free agent. The point is he gambled and won that’s why he’s the main winner of all this.
Y'all surprised? He wanted to leave before the Dodgers popped their champagne.
This is why you don’t get a guy for a one year rental, let alone buy merchandise
Tbh the contract is way overpriced so all things considered most Yankee fans are split between being salty or recognizing we dodged a financial bullet
Dude just burned his Clayton Kershaw Yankee jersey
Not his fault he wanted to play for the mets
As a Yankee fan I don’t care he went to the Mets. If a player doesn’t want to be a Yankee let them go. Who cares it’s just a game.
I don’t know why anyone is pissed about not getting Soto. I’m actually ashamed of the Mets.. what a disturbing deal to give any player! It would be a miracle if he completes that contract. There are so many players better than he is making a ton less. He’s good don’t get me wrong but the Mets just look like a bunch of chumps to me that overpaid severely for Soto. Yanks dodged a bullet..
I used to think like you but then I realized it's not my money why should I care. Steve Cohen has 22 billion dollars at age 68, might as well spend it before your time is up.
Mets won’t sniff a World Series chance to get there Soto and judge were a deadly duo and you go to that to this lol 😂
Yankees fans went from being the most annoying fan base in all of baseball to the funniest literally overnight.
The lack of coping ability has been a shaedenfraudist dream.
Yankees fans talking about money is so funny when Yankees always buy their championships it’s the only way they can compete
The Yankees haven’t been relevant in 15 years.
0:40 I’m definitely gonna be burning my Soto T-shirt since it has his name on it
Only way he was staying with the Yankees was a WS win and even then it would still take that much money, maybe slight less, that's a maybe.
It's the equivalent of going from the Lakers to the Clippers, only with more vitriol because it's either Yankees or Mets in NY. In L.A., that above trade would be met with a "(very long pause) whatever). Or Dodgers to Angels... same reaction: meh.
First losing the WS and now Soto, time to enjoy more Yankee fan tears
As a Dodgers fan I’m mad too I wanted him
Probable unpopular opinion: Soto isn't worth over $765 million. I know that he's making $51 million AAV, but this isn't what he's worth. Hopefully, the Mets don't get another Bobby Bonilla.
This is why Soto didn't want resign with the yankees.
Let’s go Juan Soto win a world series with the Mets and hit 89 home runs
They mad because they know they’re coming in 5th in the east and know this year was a fluke.
Yankee fans are very entertaining. You got a good channel bro
arent the mets still paying that other players salary too from the old days?
or did that finally end last year???
when the mets spend they sure do it wrong because there is no way soto should be making more than Ohtani.
😂
Soto is a better hitter than Ohtani, 5 years younger, and Ohtani is coming off his second TJS, his elbow is being held together by spit and duct tape.
@@ForestOfSleepBut Soto is essentially a 0 on the bases and defensively, and the offensive difference is negligible
You wouldn't be saying that if the Yankees had been able to signed him up.
Yankee fans make it seem like if soto came through their farm system lol
The Yankees are finishing 50-112 next year.
@@fridaysatjons1097 How do you know this please? Elaborate on the Yankees please?
Yankees fans throwing a tantrum over money is peak irony.
I am an Athletics fan, it makes me laugh to see this.
Thing is why I’m mad is Yankees are a better team and they made ws despite loss but Mets never made it money yes but I feel like he wants to be the Aaron judge of Mets shows how much of a selfish prick he is
I get why Yankees fans are upset, but lol they are acting like if Juan Soto was Derek Jeter suddenly deciding he wanted to play for the Red Sox after 2004. Dude was there for one year, and it was very clear he was a mercenary looking for the biggest bag. Ya think Juan Soto rejecting a $400M+ contract with the Nationals, ya know the team that drafted him and won a WS with, would have been the first clue. Or ya know, him saying all 30 teams are open to negotiate right after the WS ended.
We'd all take the money. Every single one of us.
Wood came to the Nationals in exchange for Soto. Preller is a fool. That's why they can't beat the Dodgers.
"First of all Yankees jerseys have no name on the back" at 0:51 you just showed a jersey with Soto name on the back lol.
Judge should have signed with San Francisco
Why would he want to play for a team significantly worse than his own? 🤣
@@derekconstantino7759he hasn't won shit with the Yankees since he's been there 😂
And maybe save that money to sign seager and sign Soto long term
He said forget you.
Boone is Mr softee. I don't want him as manager. It is what it is
This has to be a wake up call for the Organization something is not working
overpriced
Blue Jay, fan here. I approve of this message
Easy answer for a good season. Contract year.
Look at Anthony Rendon.
Yankees fans need to chill. Seriously.
Soto can go where he chooses.
As a Phillies fan, I get to see him on a regular basis now. He's a good player. I wish him luck...just not against the Phils.
