Ohtani didn’t defer 97% of his salary so the Dodgers could afford to go out and sign Tommy Edman.

Mets might have a bright future ahead of them?
Where else would their future be? Behind them?
Kinda redundant

If Soto is serious about going to a winning team then it’ll be the Dodgers - hands down. Ohtani signed a crazy contract to allow flexibility to sign FAs like Soto.
Oh, BTW, they’ve won 2 WS in the last 5 years.
I don’t think LA even needs to be the highest bidder. He’d be part of an historic team

Wait! Didn’t the Mets make a very fair offer in 2023 of 7 yrs/$158M? Didn’t Pete turn that down, hire the most aggressive agent in the history of sports and then refuse to negotiate?
How is this on the Mets?
This is Pete’s choice and now he’s a year-and-half older. Dumb move on his part.

Actually that may be a smart move. Why start with your top offer knowing Boras is going to say “not enough”. At the same time Boras can’t dismiss the Mets because he needs them in as serious bidders.
Make Boras come back with a counteroffer then the can begin bargaining

He says that’s his initial offer. Since the end of the WS he has been saying that Soto will sign for $701MM because Boras wants a bigger contract than Ohtani.

Steinbrenner has been dead for 14 years and had not been involved with team decisions since 2005 or earlier.

I also think that MLB would have to compensate the owners of the As and Rays.

Oh, BTW, they’ve won 2 WS in the last 4 years.
What else could Soto want? I don’t think LA even needs to be the highest bidder.

So many of us gladly hand over hundreds or thousands of dollars to watch and support our favorite team but then bitch to high heavens over the cost of a fast food meal or the price of gas.
It’s all about priorities - or lack there of.

Of course nobody needs that kind of $~especially for playing a game. But don’t blame the players, agents or owners. Our society has put that value on sports and is willing to pay more and more for tickets, cable/streaming, merch and more.
The only way things change is if people stop watching.

Not sure exactly when that went into effect but it has Steve Cohen written all over it.

If they sign 2 they might as well sign 3 or 4. Not my $ but losing those picks really hurts.

They’re already getting penalized 10 spots in the draft because of the payroll so they would pretty much be sitting out for the whole draft.

True but also lose picks if they sign Soto, Burnes, Bregman, Fried, Adames, Santander, Walker or Hernandez. Even worse, if a team signs multiple QO players the draft loss increases losing their 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 6th round picks plus lose $1M in international signing bonus $.
Cohen tax. Sucks
