[@robertcropley7714]

When discussing the production level of Soto and trying to replace it, it's worth pointing out that his offensive stats received a bit of a boost in 2024 from the benefit of batting ahead of Judge. Depending upon the lineup construction for the Mets this year, his stats may fall a little bit this year.

[@4lyeskas]

Yeah, there's definitely not a bat on NYM's lineup that's big enough to offer Soto the same protection. If they bring Pete back, that'd definitely help, but right now Lindor and/or Vientos likely aren't enough.

[@robertcropley7714]

@@4lyeskas I'm thinking that Lindor will remain at the leadoff spot in the lineup, he was under performing last year until they moved him there halfway through the season.

Hal Steinbrenner leading the charge for a salary cap during the next CBA negotiations is going to be fun.

[@pinverarity]

_they still have to have a season relatively injury-free for it to work out for them_ Really? ‘Cause it seems like they don’t. They dispatched your team in five games with a one-armed Ohtani, a rotation in tatters, and a staggering number of days lost to the IL. In fact, it seems like they’re specifically planning a campaign to repeat that includes planning for injuries and leaving as little as possible to chance.

[@carbone172]

To answer your question, as a Yankee fan, in relation to the dodgers quotes: Yes. He sounded like an absolute buffoon saying: “Now, we’ll see if it pays off,” Steinbrenner said. “They still have to have a season relatively injury-free for it to work out for them, and it’s a long season, as you know, and once you get to the postseason, anything can happen. We’ve seen that time and time again. We’ll see who’s there at the end.” About a team that since 2014 has won 11 division titles, made it to 4 World Series, and won 2 (including one against the Yankees not 4 months ago) when the Yankees have missed the playoffs entirely as many times as they've won the division and lost to the Dodgers in the one World Series they've been to. It doesn't get more foolish.

[@kylejohansen689]

Hal lumps the Yankees in with most of the other owners but the Yankees were prepared to give Soto $750 million. They are the Yankees. Clearly they can spend a ton.

[@-clutchcinema-]

first the Cubs owner and now the yankees owner as well have said they can't compete with the dodgers. Give me a break 🙄🙄

[@Noseyy]

Damn trade rumors segment before Ha-Seong Kim singing segment is crazy

[@matrix30008]

From an article I read after Soto signed with the Mets.Soto's mother at the meeting with Hal asked for a luxury suite for Soto's family members. Hal told her that Juan would have to pay for it and stated to her that even Jeter paid for his.

[@Feanor026]

Yes I saw the suite and a lot of other things in that deal, while Soto will be winning 50m a year for 15 years... I actually applaud the Yankees for not accepting this deal, and lost respect for the Mets.

[@clerns]

And Soto couldn't afford to pay? Seems like a petty thing to spurn the Yanks over, unless Hal was really rude about it.

[@4lyeskas]

​@@Feanor026The alleged shopping allowance for his mother AND the free premium seat tickets alongside the suite lmao. Who's sitting in the seats that won't fit in the suite??

People like Hal keep ignoring the real reasons why the Dodgers have been able to go hog wild and it is a combination of Shohei pulling a Brady, their own successes enticing free agents like him and other teams just not being aggressive enough.

Franchise value has nothing to do with how much a team can spend on payroll. What a ridiculous argument. However, the Yankees still make a little more yearly revenue than the Dodgers.

[@kevinmcdowell11]

Bassitt, gausman, Scherzer feels like an AARP rotation foundation, especially compared to the rays and red sox. Very curious to see how those 3 guys hold up over the season this year.

[@paul-gz9zh]

From the Boris/ Alonso camp to the Mets my take would be our portfolio of offers has been an attempt to understand any way that you would be willing to be flexible on your current offer. You haven't been direct with us if at all in any ways with which you would be flexible or willing to compromise and come to an agreement. At this point it would be incumbent upon you to disclose to us which areas you would be more willing to compromise. Whether it be escalators in the contract years total value, or other compensation.

[@heeno758]

[@hotwaff]

Judge gets hot a couple of games sooner and the narrative around Juan Soto changes. Yankees were close to taking the World Series back to LA up 3-2. That happens, they win one of the next two and Soto is a Yankee for the rest of his life. A game of inches.

The jays could be 2nd in the division or last in the league. All of us Toronto faithful know this is the case. Having said that the American league is very weak and if things go well they are competing. And lets remember someone from the AL has to make the WS even if the dodgers are gonna win it. And thats massive incentive to go all out. Im not sure the jays are gonna spend another 20-25M on alonso but thats probably what they need.

[@GamingTall]

[@halofan502]

@blakecheboygan Dodgers, and zero

[@MrMtc228]

Mets had a better offseason than the Reds and the Cubs. Just stop. Juan Soto was the biggest signing of the offseason. And Clay Holmes is nasty, we'll see if he translates into a starter. Minter and Stanek help make a nice back end of the bullpen. Siri has gold glove upside. Montas, in this pitching lab, could be very decent. This team is just as good as the NLCS team from last year. If they bring back Pete, then I don't want to hear this question again about who had the best offseason in the NL outside the Dodgers.

[@dahnawa1839]

Dodger haters: Your owner is a billionaire too. Dodgers also have a top 5 scouting dept. and are known for developing major leaguers they play or trade for value. Free agents know this. Your owner could put more money into development, scouting and free agency but he’s pocketing the money. And sorry the bandwagon is full.

[@mdubidydud]

I clicked on this thinking foolish bailey would be here

[@Math.Bandit]

Man y'all *crazy* low on the Jays lol. ZiPS is just one projection model obviously but it's one of the better ones imo and Dan had them winning 84-85 games *before signing Hoffman, Santander, and now Scherzer*. Saying they're more likely to win 74 games than 88 is just wild.

[@Aaron-rv8qj]

ZIPS also had the Jays projected to win 87 wins last year, and they went and won 74. On the flip side, they projected the Royals to win 73 and they won 86. It's not super accurate tbh.

I don't know why people are being so negative towards the Yankees, they've had a good offseason. I expect them to win the east again, and be a legitimate WS contender. The Dodgers look unstoppable on paper, but nothing is certain after 100+ games.

[@Sharvictus]

As a Yanks fan, the team obviously spends money, I can’t be upset with them for that. But it’s hard for me to see the Yankees lose the World Series and the team that beat them got soooooo much better right after. I’m not upset at what the Yankees have done. I’m upset because I don’t think they’ve bridged the gap when I believe they could.

[@djrythm7312]

DA YANKEES R BETTER WITH OUT SOTO SOTO IS A GREAT PLAYER BUT NO ONEIA WORTH 800 MILLION. NO ONE IS WORTH 300 -500 MILLION INCLUDING OHTANI. BUT HE PROVED HIS WORTH BY DEFERING APL DA MONEY SO HIS TEAM CAN WIN. SO THAT WHAT MAKES OHTANI HIS WORTH

STOP CRYING HAL YOUR DAD DID DA SAME THING FROM 2000-2023

[@Jukeboxster]

Hal didn't say the Yankees were poor, he said no other teams can do what the Dodgers are doing right now and he's right. There's a difference between being owned by a group that earns all of their revenue from baseball and one owned by a private equity firm with $300b assets under management. It's not just about revenue, it's about the degree of financial risk each team can take because of their total organizational assets.

[@kevinchang5082]

Gtfo you think the new york yankees dont have access to capital markets? 😂😂😂. They could easily bring in another hedge fund or private equity partner. Also just because Guggenheim has 300bil AUM doesnt mean they can pull money out of their ass for their CEOs baseball team, an entirely separate business.

Tampa may be forced to spend more money if the player's association files a grievance against them and Mia could be looking at the same thing.

[@zaneplatt3533]

But why? The Rays have had a lot of success despite a low payroll

[@robertcropley7714]

@zaneplatt3533 The player's association has started to step up as of late to force the hand of owners so to speak in terms of spending more money on payroll when they file a grievance against them with the commissioner's office. This is the reason why we're seeing Oakland suddenly spending more money.

[@crucito67]

The Yankees are definitely better than the Mets.

[@Jackson09]

As a life long Braves guy, and so as dictated by law when rasing a child in Braves country, I was indoctrinated to never pull for the Yankees under any circumstances....(of course being in my Mid-40's) I can safely (maybe...lol) share that growing up obviously my team was the Braves & especially the teams of the 90's.... however....lol..that being said, I collected baseball cards as kids did, and my favorite baseball player was....let me make sure no one is around ...ok ..lol ...it was Don Mattingly (who for the record- I don't care what the HOF qualifications are-hell idk if anyone does anymore-but Donnie-Baseball should be in the HOF...I say all that to say this...Being a Braves guy, we just destroy the Mets year in & year out and have nice healthy hatred for them in general..I realize they got excited because they won a lil bit last year, but they'll met all of again this year

[@christopherclayton7345]

Yankees treated Soto like an employee, but he wanted to be treated like family. I die on this hill, that he was NOT seeking the most money, there was just an infinitely greater opportunity for him to feel at home in Queens rather than the bronx

No you're wrong! Soto will always going to the highest bidder

[@daverice7855]

Getting tired of this seemingly endless line that the Yankees lost the WS because of their defense and now they are so much better defensively. First, they didn't lose the WS because they played bad defense. They played bad defense in ONE game, in fact in ONE inning of ONE game. It gets hyped because it all happened in the elimination game. That's all. I remember Game 5 of the 1978 World Series, Dodgers vs Yankees in the Bronx where the Dodgers, a very good defensive team that year with four all stars (Garvey, Lopes, Russell and Cey) , kicked the ball around the yard to the tune of 3 errors that certainly cost them the game. But not the series. Take away the 5th inning of Game 5 and the Yankees, whether you like it or not, played average defense in the other 4 games. And as I pointed out, even good defenses can come apart under the intense pressure of the World Series for a short time. So this line of reasoning is just overrated. The Yankees won't be going back to the WS next year because they made a couple of improvements on defense (I mean the Yankees offseason is basically Max Fried and 3 one year rentals), hardly transformational IMO. And there is absolutely no way it can be argued they are as good offensively without Soto. Teams are going to pitch around Judge all year long.
