[Ginnitti] “The Mets are reportedly approaching $50M per year with Juan Soto (15 yrs, $750M). The Marlins are almost certain to begin 2025 with a 26-man roster that costs less than $50M.”

  7. Hey everyone, did you know there are teams that spend a lot of money on payroll and teams that spend very little money on payroll? Here’s another comparison between one player and one other team just in case you didn’t know that.

  9. >The Marlins are almost certain to begin 2025 with a 26-man roster that costs less than $50M.

    What’s weird is from his own site with arbitration estimates, it already has the Marlins opening day 26-man roster at $54.15 million and that’s assuming no free agent pickups.

  10. Ok but now that I think about it, why isn’t Miami the prime destination for Latin players? Does it really just come down to them being cheap?

  12. Man I had the tigers as a dark horse pick, the Marlins would have been out of nowhere

  14. That sounds like a Marlins problem. We should designate them for assignment and put them in AAA.

  17. Can’t wait to find out just how wrong all these “reporters” and “insiders” have been about this whole thing

  18. Miami should be a destination for players.

    Jeter got out of there real quick after he realized the owner wasn’t committed to winning.

  20. The Marlins could start the season with a $30 million roster, or a $70 million roster, or anything in between. There’s still a lot of moves to be made before opening day.

  22. Can we just get this shit over with. We’re going by reports that it should end soon. What if they’re wrong and this shit drags out another month.

  23. Ah yes, the 738th different packaging of the same information about Juan Soto.

    I look forward to 739.

  25. This is so bad for baseball that a great hitter gets paid a lot of money. I much prefer when the ownership holds onto the money and demands my city to help cover costs for a new ballpark.

  26. Watching these fools FOMO in at the height is something else. We’re entering looney tunes land and the desperation to appease fanbases is all playing out perfectly for Soto’s bank accounts.

    Lol. This is nuts and mark my words, will go down as the worst team contract in MLB history.

  27. Soto is just using us to drive up the Yankees offer. He wants to go back and is wasting everyone’s fucking time.

    This is getting ridiculous now.

  29. This is why baseball is broken.

    Marlins aren’t a great franchise, but a decently run franchise like the Brewers have the same slim to none opportunity to sign someone like Soto.

    Small markets are literally the minor leagues of the MLB

  31. We went from 600 to 700 to 750… do I hear 800? Do I hear 900? Do I hear 1 billion?

  32. Marlins are damn close to have a opening day roster of league minimum players. 3 Guys, Alcantra, Luzardo and Jesus Sanchez are above that. And the Alcantra and Luzardo trade rumors are already starting.

  37. And it’s no one’s fault but the Marlins, they chose to be a money laundering operation instead of an actual baseball organization

    If they signed Soto and some other Dominican, Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Venezuelan players that stadium would be rocking every night like it does when the Caribbean Series and national teams play in that stadium

  38. if true, and he’s not taking it, it just means he never intended to leave the Yankees, which is what I suspect.

  41. He will come to the Dodgers on a discount. The NY teams are going to be offering $700+. Dodgers will over a 14 year deal below $700 and he will sign this afternoon.

  42. 50M a year for Soto seems insane to me honestly. Does he value ad a franchise that much?

  43. Good for the Mets. And the Marlins should be relocated if they refuse to invest in their organization.
