Around Baseball 2024

[Barrelsandbombs]

Yankees final offer was 760/16

 

[Spanky99]

Juan Soto is signing with the Mets.

 

 

Wow... Jays gave er the ole college try, godammit, now lets move on Birds announce Teo now.

[BTS]

No deferred money wow

 

 

Holy f***ing s***

[Stangstag]

Juan Soto is signing with the Mets.

 

 

As most of us predicted

[John_Havok]

Holy f***ing s***

 

I know right? Even for Cohen that's ... wow

[Stangstag]

Just glad he’s not going to Boston. Would’ve been gross

[John_Havok]

Just glad he’s not going to Boston. Would’ve been gross

 

Or staying with the Yankees. Best to get him on the other side of the sport.

[BTS]

Teo and Santander are both going to easily clear 100M now as the other teams scramble. Profar could get 80.

[Jays24]

Imagine offering 16/760 and it still not being enough. Dear f***ing God lol.

[Spanky99]

51 million AAV

 

. The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal reports that the deal includes a $75MM signing bonus, while Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Soto’s deal contains an opt-out after the 2029 season.

 

Wow, he even has an opt out, lol... mindblown.gif

[Jays24]

Boston offered 15/700

Wonder if the Jays offer will get leaked.

[Stangstag]

Teo and Santander are both going to easily clear 100M now as the other teams scramble. Profar could get 80.

 

Yeah likely.

[BTS]

Soto even got an opt-out after 5 years. Has a team ever been bent over this thoroughly?

 

[Omar]

Yikes, you know what this means? Vladdy is going to want a boatload now.

[Abomination]

Apparently Soto also has escalators in the agreement that can push it over 800M

[Terminator]

Ohtani contract looks like a bargain now just a year later

[Omar]

Imagine a contract that ends in 2040!! This is insane.

[glory]

Teo and Santander are both going to easily clear 100M now as the other teams scramble. Profar could get 80.

 

I don't know about Profar getting that much, but agreed on Teo and Santander. Those two will be the back up plans for the teams that missed on Soto. The Dodgers were never truly in on him (anyone who doesn't take deferrals is dead to them apparently) but Red Sox and Yankees are going to pick up the best of what's left most likely.

 

I think the Jays end up disgustingly overpaying for someone, but it's hard to figure out which player that will be. Could easily see Bregman or Santander, but depends on what their markets are.

That LAD rumour for Teo was 4/96 with deferrals.

[G-Snarls]

Almost every contract so far except maybe Kikuchi's feels like a substantial overpay

[BTS]

Yankees biggest holes are 3B, OF and SP. We'll be bidding against a humbled Yankees team on guys like Bregman, Teo, and Burnes/Fried.

[L54]

51M AAV is insane

[saskjayfan]

That LAD rumour for Teo was 4/96 with deferrals.

 

So 4/70 present day...just go beat it.

[G-Snarls]

Yankees biggest holes are 3B, OF and SP. We'll be bidding against a humbled Yankees team on guys like Bregman, Teo, and Burnes/Fried.

 

The prices this year will remain insane

[L54]

Imagine the pain of Yankees fans tonight

[saskjayfan]

Almost every contract so far except maybe Kikuchi's feels like a substantial overpay

 

O'neill's contract was very reasonable given this insane market.

[G-Snarls]

Imagine the pain of Yankees fans tonight

 

The package they traded for 1 year of him is gone

 

1 sandwich pick in return

[G-Snarls]

O'neill's contract was very reasonable given this insane market.

 

I was about to say exactly this

[G-Snarls]

Burnes, Fried, Santander, Teoscar and Bregman are going to get paid handsomely

[Eat My Shatkins]

Remember when Soto turned down $440 million?

 

Boy did that work out well for him in the end
