They can keep showing that ambition by adding an ace and addressing the other issues.

michaeljordan99.bsky.social•186 days ago

Gonna be impossible to build anything around that contract. Even without a salary cap.

keith35.bsky.social•186 days ago

Fuck off Soto

threezerotwo.bsky.social•186 days ago

Hay good luck to Juan Soto…
also me: F*** Juan Soto for leaving the Yankees

jaymcfly.bsky.social•186 days ago

All that payroll to come 2nd or 3rd in the division 😂

clydetiz.bsky.social•186 days ago

The money though, that's by far the most important. He's headed to his 4th team. Hard to take him at his word that he's into team building. But good for him. Hell of a hitter.

moses0507.bsky.social•186 days ago

He just signed for 15 years

olliejasper.bsky.social•186 days ago

When was the last time a 15 year deal didn't work out?

moses0507.bsky.social•186 days ago

This is unprecedented. Having a top 3 hitter at 26 sure as hell should work out

michaeljordan99.bsky.social•186 days ago

As Mike Trout about that.

moses0507.bsky.social•186 days ago

Good thing Soto doesnt rely on his legs.

olliejasper.bsky.social•186 days ago

That is why you pay now and deal with the fallout in 1.5 decades!! The NBA smartened up and only allowed 5 year deals to protect themselves from themselves!

jblagolden.bsky.social•186 days ago

Haha ok, good luck

hereforagoodtime.bsky.social•186 days ago

Half the talent of the dodgers

drjoep.bsky.social•186 days ago

Odd. He was with the Yankees “dynasty” and ran to the money as fast as he could. Looks greedy in doing so then talking about dynasty.

michaeljordan99.bsky.social•186 days ago

Good luck growing a dynasty when your contract precludes the Mets from acquiring any additional talent.

The Mets put all their eggs in one basket

can't help to wonder, is he thinking, What the hell did i just do?

pzmcg.bsky.social•185 days ago

That presupposes that he cares about winning. He doesn’t.

realtimmartin.bsky.social•186 days ago

How Bobby Bonilla doing nowadays?

pzmcg.bsky.social•185 days ago

The ONLY thing that kids cares about is money. His production will drop off the map. I’m not sure how they can play him in the NL either - the kid dogs it in the field

phdeanucla.bsky.social•186 days ago

I just wish he wasn't such a dick

alexmatthewsar.bsky.social•186 days ago

Nobody cares what this hungry, money grabbing traitor says. During Free Agency in 2023, you should've signed with the Mets instead of the Yankees, that way you didn't waste the Yankees resources you jerk.

colombiaricanny.bsky.social•185 days ago

Just to say, as a mets fan, i dont want him in the mets either. He is only interested in money. He isnt that good either...not worth close a billion dollars. Couldve gotten many good players for the money the mets spent on him.

scottieddd.bsky.social•186 days ago

Um, where is the rest of piece?

olliejasper.bsky.social•186 days ago

Gonna be hard to build a dynasty when they spent so much dough on one dude. There are limits. Maybe he's gonna defer most of it like Ohtani?
