[Bill Madden] Yankees deserve credit for apparently going well beyond their comfort zone at $750-760M for Soto but word now is Cohen [and Mets] is going to $800M. If so he’ll be alone.

Here comes the Cohen fuck you money
O K A Y
Uncle Stevie now unleashing his deep pockets.
It’s so over
I’ve offered 900. Step up your game Cohen.
Holy shit! What a bag if true.
Hello fellow f5’ers
Might as well defer enough to make it an even billion at this point.
I just want this to end ugh
Absolutely ridiculous if true
I’m sorry but 800m for Soto is diabolical. Great player, I wouldn’t want that contract if I were a serious baseball team (not mine)
Alright you can just have him for 800
This is unfathomable.
When you are at 750 what’s another 50 to you
That’s an extra $3.4m a year. I don’t care about the ramifications, hit them with that auto +$50m, Ross
800 million is crazy
Blue jays 825
Why would Soto sign today when they add like $50m everyday
Is this guy legit
800 is absurd lmao.
I want an owner who wants to see my favorite team win
Where the hell has Bill Madden been? Out of nowhere he drops this tweet? That’s so weird. He’s not a guy who would make this up.
I swear they’re all sitting together at the winter meetings challenging each other to come up with biggest pile of bullshit.
I simply don’t believe any owner will give out a $800 million contract to anyone. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Should’ve just offered a billion last year to Ohtani….
Hold on, I’m hearing the Mets were just beat. Soto is going to the Kansas City Chiefs, $850 million
Honestly, at what point are salaries just ridiculous? I know most people on this sub just say “owners need to spent more” – and after suffering through John Angelos’ regime I agree – but this is ridiculous.
He is signing for 650 isn’t he 🤣
This has to be a Boras leak to try and get the Yankees to 770 right?
I’ve prepared myself for the Yankees being outbid by the Mets for months, but if these are the kind of numbers the Yanks balk at, then I’m okay with Plan B.
That’s so much money. He’s gonna be getting paid more than the entire NHL
The real offer is going to basically be 3 years/$150m. Because it’s going to be chalk full of opt outs.
Then it comes down to how much do you pay to guarantee the next 12 years.
Juan Soto will simply purchase the Dominican Republic after this
Is he really worth that much lol. I mean jeeesh.
They just keep saying “what’s a few million more” and the next thing we know Soto gets 10 billion.
800 is wild. Even 700 for Shoei is insane even as a two way player. These contracts in the next 3 to 5 years will rival small nation’s GDPs.
Soto about to take a 1 year prove it deal until teams get serious about their offers and get to $1B.
“arson judge appears headed to the giants” vibes
$800 mill?? Holy shit Soto’s a Met
Baseball has lost control of Free Agency lmao
One of my favorite quotes, paraphrased, is from the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger—“it’s true that money can’t buy happiness. Right now I am worth $500MM, but I was just as happy as when I was only worth $495MM”
Steve Cohen has paid the SEC bigger fines than that. It can still go higher
I still remember the day the Nats surprised a lot of people and called up Soto. He was a relatively unknown and unheralded player, not even the top prospect in our organization. But he was raking in the minors, and the Nats needed a spark, so they gave him a chance. Fast forward just a few years, and we’re talking about giving him the biggest contract in the history of sports. Life is crazy.
If Soto chose Mets over Yankees for $5 million, one might think he didn’t really enjoy playing with Judge all that much.
