2024 MLB Season [ARCHIVED] Baseball • Page 875

I said what I said

 

Only question now is when does Cashman reaquire Tyler Wade

 

do you think the court reporter types poster or poaster

 

Im getting back to the top next season tho, my team is gonna be the kind of awful that’s fun to watch (manifesting)

 

Depends on the context clearly

 

normal day in a troll yankee fan

 

good evening to @Mark III i look forward to hearing your thoughts

 

No excuse to not bring Gleyber back now tbh

 

What if he’s just a bad hang

 

How many of the Yankees fan in here live in New York? Just curious

 

Mark is in Connecticut

 

only when he isnt in poughkeepsie, or at the scarsdale chick fil a

 

I'm in Connecticut, mom is from New Jersey I hope I am allowed to keep my official fan pass

 

Definitely this and not the potential 800 million value

 

Well, figured that would happen. At least they made an indirect sign they won’t cheap out on pitching (I think)

 

youre just not taking this well huh

 

Nah I'm pretty fine with it. He didn't wanna be a Yankee and Cohen would've kept going up.

 

Burning a Yankee jersey with no name on it is hilarious. Like just stash it in a drawer and see if some other good player wears 22 lol

 

I don't think you have to assume "he thinks the Mets have a brighter future" to come up with a non-monetary reason he could've chosen the Mets though. Dude already has won a world series; he checked that box as early as you possibly can. Maybe he likes the idea of being what, potentially the second-greatest Met of all time after Seaver? With the Yankees, as good as he is, he's not even the best guy right now. And maybe just a shot at top 10 for the franchise all time?

I think elite players care about legacy stuff like that more than we think they do. For all the "aw shucks I'm just trying to help the team win" nonsense platitudes they repeat in interviews, this is a sport built on individual accomplishment more than team accomplishment and the best of the best know that. Soto might just want to be THE dude. He's never been that on a roster before, not quite. And all due respect to Lindor but he's that now, unquestionably.

It's probably the fact that it's actually an $800M contract though.

 

I'm sure there was an ego aspect that he's not gonna be THE guy with Judge there.

 

Juan Soto Lands the Richest Contract in Sports History

 

do we think the Mets are Soto’s last ever team? maybe we can check back here in 15 years if the forum still exists

 

any forum that has survived to this era of the internet will be here forever imo

although it’s insane to think that sotos contract is as long as I’ve been posting here and on ap (join date may 2009 but had lurked since at least 2007 sometime)
