December 9, 20241 yr The Yankees have certain character standards for their players that he does not meet. Yeah like being a winner

December 9, 20241 yr Good for Soto and good for Cohen. Ohtani and Trout the first go round should have pushed for much bigger deals.

December 9, 20241 yr Just now, Helobious said: Lol at posting this like some kind of slight to yankee fans. Everything that guy said is completely valid. Soto is dead to us now. Oh, that wasn’t a slight. I don’t need to post anything for that. Just saying yankee is enough to get the job done.
December 9, 20241 yr Conforto to Dodgers https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/42864704/los-angeles-dodgers-michael-conforto-reach-1-year-17-million-deal
December 9, 20241 yr With alot of these younger players coming into the league, they are about identity being thier own person, free spirit kind of thinking. Days of nyy getting big name players to sign cause they are the Yankees are coming to a end. All due to the face hair, chains and other "rules". Sure the lord of all nyy fans on here will disagree
December 9, 20241 yr Players typically sign for the most cash, all that other shit is just old men yelling.

Because I can kind of see DET wanting him to rotate 1B/DH and work with Torkleson. And TIL that Detroit's primary DH last season was: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/malloju02.shtml Pretty sure he'd throw El Mago in el lago at some point, too.
December 10, 20241 yr Weird thing with their roster is not trusting Mr. Lauren Burke to handle RF most nights. Just turned 27, 34 starts at DH, 3 LF, 36 RF. Bad back cost him 2+ months though.
December 10, 20241 yr When I think about the storied Mets franchise, I’m confident that in no way will paying Juan Soto over 2/3 of a billion dollars blow up in their faces in the most hilarious and destructive way possible.
December 10, 20241 yr On 12/8/2024 at 9:11 PM, shadow_operative2.0 said: So who was going to pay Soto 40mil a year for 15 years? The idiot was probably bidding against himself.
December 10, 20241 yr ^ Guess you didn't read much further down. 23 hours ago, Captain Obvious said: Yankees alleged final offer was $760 million over 16 years. That was reported by many.

December 10, 20241 yr 31 minutes ago, shadow_operative2.0 said: ^ Guess you didn't read much further down. That was reported by many. Yeah, that offer did get reported by a number of respectable sources today. Yesterday however, it seemed like the few places you could find that were your typical pro-Yankee mouthpieces. For a while there, it seemed like Cashman/Steinbrenner were just throwing that out in public so they couldn't be accused of being cheap. Edited December 10, 20241 yr by Captain Obvious
December 10, 20241 yr Someone actually signed with the White Sox lolMike Tauchman....not sure the details but I bet it involves hoping he does something to get traded by the deadline

From the franchise that employed ARod, Clemens, Giambi, and a plethora of other roid heads and cheaters of varying severity.
December 10, 20241 yr Soto was a great hitter but a complete liability in the field. Passan is right, the Mets paid $51 million a year for a guy that will be a DH most of that contract. I’d much rather spread that money to a bunch of complementary pieces as Dominguez blossoms into a star
December 10, 20241 yr Cashman has yet to put together a complete roster this decade so I wouldn't hold my breath he won't fuck it up like he did when Cano walked. If you're focusing on the contract details, you're missing the forest for the trees. Cohen just bigdicked the Yankees for a HOF player that from all reports loved his time in the Bronx. The real winner of the tussle won't be known for years, but Hal just got shown the backhand and there's not a single thing Yankee fan can do to stop it from happening again whenever Cohen has an itch. The Madoffs are gone and the cross-town team now has an owner that spends and a real baseball man in Stearns. Just be thankful the Mets have a tougher road in the NL so the embarrassment will be limited in the near future.
December 10, 20241 yr The mental masturbation that Helo does to make himself feel better is fun to watch.

December 11, 20241 yr Author I kinda like Horwitz. He can really hit, but he's already 27. I think they jerked him around in the minors for too long because he's so bad defensively. Sounds like Edgar Martinez so far.

December 11, 20241 yr Crochet to BOS for a bunch of prospects, including their 2023 and 2024 first round picks.

December 12, 20241 yr There is no way to spin losing Soto to the annual failboat in Queens as a positive. He is, barring injury, going to be one of the top 10 hitters to ever play the game. He’s competitive and performs well in big spots. Basically the opposite of Judge. I have no idea what kind of teammate he is. It seems a bit odd that he’s on his 4th team by age 26, but that doesn’t much matter. The Yanks should have pushed that offer well above an AAV of over 50 per season. Fried is a good signing. The starters need a lot of help. So does the batting order, but Fried is a good one. The Yanks still have e a better chance to be in the World Series than the Mets. I hope Soto enjoys getting pimp slapped year after year in the playoffs by LA. If he wanted to leave he should’ve stayed in the AL where he had an actual shot to be in the Fall Classic. That chance is near zero going across the bridge and having to see Ohtani and Co. every single year.
December 13, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, UpperWestside said: If he wanted to leave he should’ve stayed in the AL where he had an actual shot to be in the Fall Classic. Career track says he enjoys variety. And since he already got pimp slapped by the Dodgers in the Fall Classic playing for the AL, maybe he's just looking for something different.
December 13, 20241 yr Dipshit probably got it for Ellsbury and lucked into Soto playing there and having same# lolBut yeah that wasn't the smartest idea. Maybe Bregman will wear 22
