I don't really pay attention to other sports besides hockey so, in that context, it's bonkers to me what players make in the NFL, NBA and MLB. I get that they, as leagues, bring in more money than the NHL but the difference in salaries is mind boggling.
@wokenpancake Because the NHL Commissioner kicks the you know what out of the NHLPA every single negotiation. The players need a lawyer who will rep them instead of looking to be a mediator. The superstars need to step up and be their teams spokesperson so they are heard. But no. They're fine with how things are because they are paid. Totally different from the other 3 majors.
I grew up as a Mets fan in the post-madoff era, watching terrible offseason after terrible offseason Steve Cohen has really changed the direction of this franchise for the better
Yup. We could never dream of being as rich as these guys. And just think, he'll be making less by orders of magnitude than Elon Musk. The wealth inequality that still exists in the western world is staggering
did you take into account he only works 7 months and around 3 hours/day? cuz i think it's more like 25k...and even that isn't accurate because of off days.
Honestly, as much as the NHL has its flaws, this is why the league had to get a salary cap. Because based upon how a handful of teams were spending in the late 90s, this kind of contract would have been handed out by Toronto or the Rangers. And baseball refuses to acknowledge that they’re a league in decline. Not sustainable to keep handing out contracts like that
How so ? It’s not the ticket sales, concession sales and season ticket sales that pays the players salary it’s Cohens unlimited bd k account from all that hedge fund money.
It is absolutely insane. I remember when A-Rod got his massive contract and thought THAT was insane. There needs to be a Salary Cap. The Luxury tax is a slap on the hand is all.
Why punish teams for spending when thats been the case for decades? Shouldn't the owners who penny pinch and pocket the luxury tax instead of putting it into a better product be penalized instead?
Baseball doesn't need a salary cap, it needs a salary floor so the cheap owners who don't want to spend actually start doing so or sell their teams lol
hey Shannon, i love watching you vids on the hockey guy channel and has really gotten me into the sport but im an even bigger baseball fan, would love to see some mlb content on this channel!!
Blue jays again tried to go all in on the biggest free agent without a backup plan. Now theyre gonna lose Guerrero jr next offseason for nothing. Bad time to be a jays fan.
If i can help explain modern baseball metrics: the most important stat, like the new batting average if you will, is OPS. It’s OBP + Slugging pct and it essentially gives you the best estimate of how much damage a player actually does, like how often they get on base and how much power they hit for. There’s also an absolute ton of sabermetrics that you can look at on baseball savant that can tell you where a player ranks in the league on some underlying metrics. Soto tops out in the 100th percentile in most of them, which is why he got such a contract.
I'm a Mets fan, so I'm pretty excited by this. Some people are upset about the size of this contract (or sports contracts in general), but I heard someone say this about athlete salaries and I think it's true. A pro athlete at the end of the day is an entertainer, it's more similar to being a movie star than it is a normal job, and no one is bothered when Tom Cruise gets paid hundreds of millions to star in a movie franchise, so why should we care when an athlete gets paid a lot. It's not like the owners are losing sleep over these contracts, so why should we. Let's go Mets!
I remember when Kirby Puckett got the first 3 million per year contract, and soon after lots of top players received similar contracts. That seemed like a ton of money. Thirty years or so later, that is considered an insult. Crazy times.
Something that is under the radar is that after 5 years Soto has the choice to either leave to go to FA again or get a $5 million raise per year. Even if he’s terrible he can get a raise if he wants.
The ROI for an Ohtani is much better because you're getting money from the Japanese market. You pay Soto because you want to win because he's not bringing in that extra money. The Padres signed him and then traded him to New York because him Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr were getting paid a lot (which ownership there was willing to do initially) but they weren't winning.
Pitcher power rankings are fun. The best of the best starting pitchers are so much fun to watch. If you do want to get more into baseball, try making sure you're leaning towards watching the best of the best. There's so many awesome pitchers to become a fan of!
Theres an owner Mark Attanasio of the Milwaukee Brewers: in order for him to afford Sotos contract not only would he have to give up his ENTIRE NET WORTH of 700 million dollars(which is a fortune over 10 lifetimes in itsself) but take out a 65 million dollar loan
These baseball contracts are nonsensical. They gotta have the mob involved or something. Baseball was a dying sport with a rapidly aging fanbase until these massive contracts came out of nowhere.
Maybe but compared to nfl and nba salaries it's normal. Like dak prescott makes 60 million a year and he's average. He just didn't sign for 15 so it don't seem so bad.
I am a life long Mets fan. This is insane. This past playoff run really reignited a love for baseball, and the Mets. I will say paying $40 for parking to find a fake spot under the highway in Queens is lame. Concessions also hurt as well.
I would love to see you cover baseball! I think that’ll be fun! On Soto’s contract, I can’t imagine anybody turning down that kind of money. Good for him for securing the bag and good for the Mets in acquiring a massive player on the market. However, I can definitely see a world where this backfires on the Mets tremendously. If Soto has a cold month or two, immediately the contract becomes an albatross… and that’s a realm of possibility.
It’s just insane to me that Soto is getting THIS much money. Like of course he’s a really good player worthy of a big contract, but… he wasn’t even the best player on the Yankees this year, and arguably wasn’t even the best player on the Padres when he was there. And yet he’s getting hundreds of millions more than Aaron Judge. It’s weird. I feel like the Dodgers outdoing everyone’s predictions on Ohtani caused the price of the next big free agent to drastically inflate. No way Soto would be getting anywhere near 725M if Ohtani was given 600-650M. Just makes me worry how these huge numbers will affect future MLB free agents. Will all big names from now on only become available to the Dodgers, Yankees, and Mets? Because no way my team (Mariners) is getting a significant free agent ever again if they’re all expecting 600-700 million. And certainly many other teams are much cheaper than mine is. I suppose we’ll just see in the coming future how this’ll all go down. And also, I think baseball content would be cool Shannon! Baseball and hockey are my primary sports that I follow, so how convenient would that be if the same guy was covering both of ‘em. Just don’t get yourself all sports’d out now!
Quoting UrinatingTree when I saw the terms of the contract, "OH MY GOD, WHATTHE (BLEEP) IS THAT?" You would think that a team that gave us the "Bobby Bonilla Day" meme had learnt their lesson and not dish out megadeals like this, but those who fail to heed the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them. The terms of the contract, even if Soto suddenly falls off a cliff production-wise, he is still getting paid. No deferred money, a massive signing bonus up front, and the opt out option after 5 years, Soto has the power to decide whether he wants to stay or if the Mets will match a pay raise to keep him around. The Mets better know what they are doing, or the next generation of baseball fans will be celebrating "Juan Soto Day" to mock the Mets.
I think there's a difference between Ohtani and Soto not signing with the Jays. Ohtani was clearly using the Jays to get a better contract with the Dodgers, giving the Jays so much hope just to sign with another team. Soto it seems like it wasn't just the Jays that were seriously in on him, I just want to see Schneider fired and Guerrero traded before he walks for nothing next season. Time for a complete rebuild imo.
This contract is just as unusual as Ohtani's, we won't really see a FA deal like this again for quite some time. It is exceedingly rare for a player of Soto's talent to come around already, and even rarer for said player to become a FA at TWENTY SIX YEARS OLD. He's most likely worth every penny, they'll probably make several million back instantaneously on jersey sales.
Only difference with Ohtani's is basically all of his is deferred. Soto is getting all of this $$ over the next 15 years. The age is def a bigtime factor. Soto turned down a 450 million dollar deal with Washington a few years back cause he knew this deal was eventually going to come. So good on him for betting on himself. If Ohtani hit the market at 26, he might've gotten a billion dollars. Also agreed that this type of deal wont be seen for a longgggg time. Maybe Paul Skenes gets a crazy contract a few years from now but I doubt that even reaches half of this since its not a player who plays everyday.
@@kiroolioneaver8532 Both the fan market, and the player market from there. Everyone Japanese player that gets posted is automatically linked to LA because of Ohtani. The guys reach goes beyond what any other player in the league offers in terms of being a cash cow for his franchise.
I'll be honest - there's no one poised to pass him in the foreseeable future. Soto is the rare player who reaches free agency at age 26 and is already considered to basically be a lock for the HOF. No player is going to have leverage like this again unless they appear out of nowhere.
The Mets are a big market team, but the most important variable is that their owner (Steve Cohen) is the richest owner in MLB and desperately wants to win.
what in the world are these baseball contracts?, 99% of the dudes stand around all game, pitcher and catcher doing most of the work, dudes roided to the gills to stand around and occasionally swing a bat... almost a billion dollars for that?!?!!? the eff. then you have hockey, $12ish mill the highest...going full bore night in night out, taking contact etc. baseball is so weird to me , i just dont get it.
Players are using the Jays because they know they are in a desperate position and will put a big offer out there. Soto had a better chance of signing to play on the moon, than in Toronto.
All the Yankees fans saying “I’m glad we passed on him” yet they are also angry and are stewing heavily inside. I’m a Mets fan I’m happy we got him but that is a rediculous amount of money but hey Steve Cohen has enough money to do it why not, the Yankees started the big spending when George Steinbrenner bought the team they are to blame for how rediculous spending had gotten
I am just happy the jays didn’t waste their whole farm system on trading for Soto last year. He easily would have walked this year. As they say the trades you don’t make are the best ones.
I can't think of any professional baseball player right now (including minor leaguers) that I think is capable of getting a contract larger than Soto. Witt would have been the best possibility, but he's already signed a contract. So I think it'll be at least 10 years until we see a contract bigger than Soto's contract. If I had to pick someone to beat it out, I would pick the amateur Ethan Holliday, who is probably about 10 years away from reaching free agency. But my guess is that it'll be someone even younger than Ethan Holliday who ends up being the person to get a contract bigger than Soto's contract.
65 Million more then Shohei Ohtani who may/probably will go down as the Best player in MLB History I dont see how Soto is worth that much in my opinion
the mlbpa and the owners are gonna go to the mat in 2027 over salaries and possibly a salary cap. On one hand The RSNs collapsing have put a huge dent in revenues and with a bad economy attendance is going to drop which is bad for smaller teams.

@@fishman432 Yankees had a pretty easy run, going through Kansas City and Cleveland, both from a relatively weak AL Central. They got SMOKED by LA in the World Series.

More than Ohtani. ? How is that possible? I don't think there are any soccer players making that. I could be wrong. Mbappe or Messi maybe? Formula 1 drivers make that kinda $$.

I am a Mets fan but my god talk about over spending. How can the owners keep committing to these crazies numbers. Baseball needs a salary cap bad.
It’s the players’ fucking agents. And the MLBPA will nuke the entire league before standing for a salary cap.
At least it isn't the Dodgers but this contract right here, as well as Ohtani's, is the EXACT reason why MLB MUST implement a real salary cap
Eh. I’m fine with no cap as long as you have ownership willing to spend.
He's making something like $5900 an hour for the next 15 years.
Yup. We could never dream of being as rich as these guys. And just think, he'll be making less by orders of magnitude than Elon Musk. The wealth inequality that still exists in the western world is staggering

MLB has a serious problem when 3-4 teams are the only ones who can sign top free agents. The luxury tax penalties need to be stiffened considerably.
