I really dont understand why he is so overvalued. I understand that he is young but what has he done so far? He is 26, right ? Trout has won MVP three times and one natting title already when he was 26. How many MVPs has Soro won? He has won ond batting totle in covid year, thats it. Has hit more than 30HRs in only 3 seasons. Acuna is same age as him and he is (to me) way better than Soto. He is not a must see TV like Shohei, nobody is gonna watch the game just because he is playing. I know Cohen has money to burn but its really overpriced, over hyped off season signing.
LOL what a bad deal. The guy is a 7 - 9 WAR player - they are paying like $6.5M for every win. For that kind of money they could bring in 15 WAR spread over 3 guys. Feels like a bad deal.
Disappointed but thankful for the amazing season. However Yankees need to allocate their money elsewhere. 765 million for a guy who can’t pitch like Ohtani and doesn’t even have better overall offense number than Ohtani isn’t worth it to me. He is a clutch player, but still too much money. Farewell Juan.
Yeah, one and done for Soto with the Yankees. As you say, he doesn't even have quite the same offensive stats as Ohtani and doesn't pitch like Ohtani. He doesn't steal bases either. (Look at his SB numbers. He steals very few bases and at a terrible percentage in success rate. ) A player makes what someone is willing to pay, and obviously the Mets owner was determined to pay the highest price. I don't buy that Soto views the Mets as ascending more than the Yankees, with a much better future. It's about money to him. No deferred cash at all, while Ohtani deferred more than 90% to help his team sign other good players.
His stats will never justify this money. He needs to hit twice as many dingers, get 160 RBI’s compared to a 25 hr, 80 rbi guy. They are out there at 20 - 25 m. Right?
Glad this crap is finally over!!! Glad the Yankees didn't commit that much payroll to a bat and nothing else. Let Steve Cohen deal with that... enjoy!!! Let't go Hal, start rolling in the new squad! 🎉🎊🎈✨
The Verlander and max deals were flyers to fast forward the chance at being competitive. A short term calculated risk that was affordable and worth it in the context of the situation and resources available. Honestly, it almost worked with the Mets winning 100 games. The soto deal is different. An overpay? Maybe to most teams but again, it's all about context. Soto is going to be a top 5 guy for the next decade, anchors the line up and will likely be a hall of farmer wearing orange and blue. Have what ever opinion you'd like, the Mets are a much better team than 3 hours ago and the Yankees are worse than 6 weeks ago🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Way OVERPAID. Soto has never won an MVP, didn't top RBI, HR, or AVG, never won triple crown, never even hit for the cycle, this is all Steve Cohen's ego flexing his insider trading money. He already paid 1.8B in fines keeping him out of jail, what's another 765M try to clear his name. Pressures on for Soto to perform and earn it, anything less than a championship will be a failure.
The ridiculous part is how Soto can opt-out after the 2029 season. Like, he's expecting that he can get a better deal than $51-mil AAV at age 31? Maybe he's thinking that the inflation will get so bad that $51-mil AAV won't be that much in 5 years.
State of my is 48% taxes on your paycheck and then you get taxed on the rest of your assets and you get about 30% of your money you earned that is why he got that much money to sign the contract
The most overpayed player ever, at least shohei ohtani hits better and pitches and he even deffered most of his contract, and he already generated almost 120m for the dodgers this year and will bring more in the future per year. Hell, the dodgers could pay shohei even if he didn't defer with the money he brings in. Mets will regret this in like 5 years.

The Ohtani discourse is so flawed. Entirely different situations. Ohtani wanted to be a Dodger from the get go, it was not open biding season. If Ohtani initiated a Boras style bidding war, he wouldve gotten a much more favorable contract.
It was always going to be Mets. Cohen wasn’t going to be outbid. Only thing I can say is kudos to all the teams that helped drove the price up to $765million
For everyone saying he’s overvalued- the comparable guys at his age for his numbers in the history of baseball are Jimmie Fox and Mickey Mantle. $765 mil for a potential inner circle HOF at 26 years old
The domino effect you didn't discuss is the effect that it will have on the ticket prices for the fans. I understand it's easy to look at this from a former player prospective but when ticket prices rise in this economy it restricts how many people have exposure to be able and come to a game.
Not the Yankees fault! Soto got a record breaking deal. Cant blame the guy for taking it. Can’t tie that much money into one guy if you’re the Yankees. The Yankees can get two corner infielders, get a solid center fielder and have Judge return to right field then rebuild their relievers. Strengthen the team with the money they were going to use with Soto. Good riddance Soto and thanks for the one good year. Good luck. No hate. Can’t turn down that money.

Not too long ago you could have brought a team with that kind of money. Well, Soto's grand kids and great grand kids are really going to appreciate this contract.
The opt out did it for Soto. His greedy ass will be opting out of that contract after 5. As long as contracts have grown by then, he's looking for more money!!!
the panel making sure to not "put their foot in their mouths", saying the politically correct responses. i'll be the voice of reason, soto is not a ticket draw compared to the likes of ohtani much less judge. soto will be a dh in no time and the panel knows his defense isnt that good. if soto can get the mets a ring within 5 years then ok i'll say it is a good short tern deal, but getting every penny out of 15 years is another story. soto will be telling bobby bonilla to "hold my beer" before its all said and done.
@johnsepulvedacruz6428 except for the part that he isn't. Acuna isn't as consistent as a hitter and is much more injury prone. WAR isn't everything but the fact that Soto is 10 points higher than him despite them coming into the league the same year says alot

What I learned is that Soto cares more about the money than his legacy. Had he been a Yankee for the next decade plus, he could have been considered an all-time great regardless of stats. Now his ceiling is a mid-tier HOF'er.
The Mets now need another hitter because after Vientos, Lindor and Soto, it’s an unimpressive group of bats. They also need another high end pitcher to pair with Kodai because Manaea isn’t it. He’s better suited as a #3/4. What’s in the Mets favor though is that Soto’s work ethic in hitting can be transferred onto some of the younger players with big expectations, like Vientos and Acuña.

Mets will never win a ws for atnleast 20 years
I bet you Treinen gave the Dodgers exclusive negotiations. They signed hin for two years knowing he'd miss one. I don't see Blake taking calls from the Yankees.
Oh man not a mets fan but oh God please let them win 2025 WS im okay with that so this contract at least means something for Mets
Red Sox need to get everyone else now. At least he’s not on the Yankees anymore
I’m a Jays guy. Good for him.
But I feel the Jays need to insulate Vladdy with some legit hitters! Santander would be sweet. 😊
Soto is going to be playing with dudes who are in kindergarten right now when this contract is up.
Wow. So much hate in the comments. Everyone needs to relax, and just enjoy the sport. Well, all I'll say is - LGM
I knew it!!Dodgers just toying with him!!
No deferrals says everything you need to know about him
Yankees can't replace the money the same way. Soto's making 50ish mil per season. That's the AAV for Adames + Luis Severino
The Mets still need pitching
Everyone will pitch around him ...he will be the all-time WALK KING...way below average defensively...doesn't steal bases...Mets are Idiots..
No one in the universe is worth that much money. At least the Yankers didn't get him!!!
Let’s not get it twisted the Yankees offered 16 years 760 and he still chose the Mets
The opt out at 5 with the Mets voiding it by uping his AAV to 55 for his last 10 years. I think Cohen dumps this contract if he opts out after 5.
