The
season is over. So, let’s get the elephant out of the Yankee dugout.
Juan Soto told Newsday Sports yesterday: “I don’t have any doors closed or anything like that. I’m going to be available for all 30 teams.”
Wow. Don’t give it a
rest on the same night your team just lost the most important game in baseball.
Nah, just throw it out there that the money train is on the track.
Does this
sound like a guy ready to keep his gear in the same locker?
Obviously,
Soto is available; the question to all of us is should the Mets dive in
here.

I think Juan Soto wants to go to a team and spend the rest of
his career there. I think he wants to play for a winner, and I know he’s going
to ask for a huge deal. There’s only so many teams that fit that bill
I agree
with Mark 100% here. Soto is not the kind of player that wants to flit around,
team to team, during the rest of his career. He wants the whole enchilada this
time, with both money and financial advice to insure he is set for the rest of
his life.
It’s not
just a baseball salary here. It’s also commercial endorsements that can only be
obtained in big market cities.
Can Steve
Cohen compete here? Is the Pope a Catholic?
Will
Steve Cohen compete here? Frankly, he won’t be able to help himself from
avoiding this.
Everything
Cohen has done so far in his life has been top notch. How could he possibly
pass on trying to secure one of the top players ever in this game?
Me?
You put
this guy in right field and you won’t have to worry about it for eight years
(and then he still will be only 35-years old).
You have
to go after this guy with everything you got, have, whatever.
