Yankees TRADE for Devin Williams + beef with Soto? | Baseball Today

[@JMBaseball]

Kyle Tucker goes to the CUBS! Rose, Plouffe, and Jake will be discussing it over on Talkin Baseball today. Baseball Today will be back on Monday!

[@BringsTheSnow]

...and right as I finish watching the ep, Tucker goes to the Cubs. XD See you guys again soon, I guess.

[@oscarechevarria-rodriguez2536]

First of all Judge and everyone in the team respectfully gave him space throuhgout the process because they know how it is. In fact he had a post that during the season is where they tried convincing him to stay. Nothing wrong with that.

[@kevinhu7684]

Yeah, the comment Juan made seemed pretty consistent with his approach. When Judge was questioned about reaching out during the contract negotiation phase, Judge was pretty clear that he knew Juan would want his space. I think people were respecting what Soto wanted the whole time.

[@strange-universe]

@@kevinhu7684 and, at the same time, a guy goes a year and doesn't develop any relationships? That's not space.

Lose Soto to the Mets, next they get someone who gets owned by the Mets 😂

[@elephantisland695]

“He did it! He did it!”

[@thekingofpingas]

I’m with Trevor, this is not a deal at all. Soto has been what he’s always been. He’s a Mercenary and that’s perfectly fine. Soto is not be the vocal guy or emotional leader, but It doesn’t mean there was any animosity between Soto and teammates. He’s a loner guy and there are plenty of athletes that are and have been like that throughout sports history.

[@YankeesAvenue]

Some of Cashman's best work

[@ramongonzalez6653]

Nor Judge or any Yankees called Soto to congratulate him, but that goes both way as Soto did not call Judge to congratulate him for winning the AL MVP

[@georgemichaels3rdnut]

Not disagreeing cause you are 100% right. But maybe there was more to the relationship soto had with the Yankees that we dont know about.

[@christopherclayton7345]

From what I can tell, it seems like the Yankees treated him like an employee, a colleague. Whereas he was looking for a place that treated him like family

[@ramongonzalez6653]

@@christopherclayton7345 HOGWASH! Soto wanted every cent he could get and didn't really care about any allegiance!

[@funforalgernon]

What it is, a teen soap opera?

[@shashmi324]

Turns out Soto changed his number after the season… didn’t give it out. What a bum to not mention that.

[@OilCompany95]

You guys were my number 1 podcast 2024. I had 77 hours!

[@cubewizard4366]

I think Chris is missing that Cohen was going to exceed whatever Yanks were going to offer and Soto was going to go to the top dollar regardless.

[@MLBTwins]

The first thing I thought when he said he hasn't talked to them is he didn't like those guys and that's why he went with the Mets.

[@strange-universe]

I watched probably 120 Yankees games, and never had the feeling he was a Yankee long term. They say his number was changed, these guys are behind on the overall story.

[@yetigonecrazy]

That definitely replaces 41 HR and 129 BB

[@Zo3yX]

I think trev is wrong and we should expect our captains and superstars who want to win to try and reach out and get players. The player to player interaction is Why you are he captain now be it.

[@christopherclayton7345]

100% it could have been something as simple as just sending a text. It just seems odd to me that Judge didn't really play a role whatsoever

[@Ryan6OC]

@@christopherclayton7345Same could kind of be said the other way. In that timeframe Judge won the MVP and Soto didn’t even reach out to congratulate him? A bit odd from all sides here

If not one Yankee player called to recruit Soto does that say more about the Yankees players or more about Soto?

[@supreme1572]

The Yankees culture failed Juan Soto. In the introductory press conference they all constantly mentioned family and the friendly atmosphere of the Mets and BOTH Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo had lengthy conversations with Soto during the negotiations.

[@ebilworld]

Manaea actually had a great 2nd half for the Giants just saying

[@jessumandco]

I think Elly and Soto talk! I wonder if they spoke?

[@ItsMinarmy]

Tucker is a Cub

[@Edbball5]

people who have never seen that kind of money can't imagine that an athlete makes these decisions on anything besides the money. yeah, I think the ability to earn up to 805 mil in one fewer year was appealing to Soto, of course. I think what Trev said is right. Soto can be more himself and have a chance to go down as the Mets all time greatest player, instead of being second to Judge for another 7 years and then behind dozens of other yankee legends in history

[@createdrosters]

Soto even said (paraphrasing) other than the money (so it was about money too) he thinks this is the best place for his family and he likes the vision of the future. I don’t think he needs to say more than that and that feels like the truth. Idk why this is such a thing

[@asdfaeou]

I think..... we're trying to establish a great deal about inter-personal relationships based of a single sentence.

[@geromc]

Why isn' t a thought provided to the fact that Soto may have paused before answering because English isn't his first language? He maybe comfortable and able to speak English fairly fluently but allowing a guy to gather a thought and probably translate it in his head should be given some consideration.,

[@SJD631NY]

Wasn't Judge given some sort of position at the table when it came to roster choices? That's all I heard about after he signed, how he and Cole will be a part of those type of discussions. That's where I'm confused at Judge not recruiting.... Unless Judge didn't want Soto in the Bronx 🤷

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Buster Posey was hired to look at the intangibles, not just analytics, when evaluating talent...

[@digbickb0i809]

20:45 thank you Trev! Imo Yankees are dated. They are NOT the top of the top anymore.

[@Objectivity-w5j]

Maybe thats just who Soto is. It appears thats how he was with the other team he left as well. Not a big deal.

[@stormchaserjoe2842]

Bit of a bit,h move at the 20:17 mark toward trevor. I really love the show, but cant stand the arrogance

[@JohnBtons]

Rose wants judge not talking him to be the reason so bad. Im with trev. He was on so many teams and this off season was for him. Its not about texting people he's trying to leave

[@ryanbautista2393]

Tucker cubbie

[@troutrunnerjh6535]

Just stop Chris. The difference between 700 m & 800 m doesn’t matter at that point. Like Trev said Soto didn’t want to be a yankee because they’re a lame old school organization that is out of touch and is stuck up thinking they’re better than everyone. Soto would have lost a ton of fans if he was a yankee for the rest of his career because most people hate yankee players because they think they’re the best and think they’re special. They’re not they’re lame and make the players shave and no names on jersey etc. Yankees are OLD man get it through your head the difference of 50 million doesn’t matter at those numbers and Trevor is saying it in a nice way but ask Trev he knows bellinger wouldn’t want to be a Yankee either because they’re stuck in the past

[@christopherclayton7345]

100%, the yankees' offer relied on their history but Steve Cohen only talked about the future with soto in it. Tbh, I could've convinced Soto to go to the Mets, it's not difficult to see how Cohen could build such a compelling narrative about why Soto should be a met

[@Huff211]

These young great players don't want to be told how to have their hair, or beards. Let them grow it out and get with the times. The Yankee organization acts like it's the 1950's with their stupid rules for the players and such. Only players they get are through trade, players who grew up a fan, or they don't care about cutting hair/beard. Too Old School!

[@ddsara6566]

Give me a break. For some people the difference in money does make the difference. Why are you pretending that everything we heard about Soto for years is not true? It’s been said he wanted the top dollar. Guess what, that’s exactly what happened. He went for the top offer.

[@croyfrmdao_214]

I bet the Yankees players tried to call Soto but the loser changed his number and was told not to communicate with his former Yankee teammates

[@Brandon.Murphy]

Yankees gotta get some bats tho…

[@kevinmcdowell11]

Maybe jazz moves to 2B and they go after bregman or arenado? Or jazz stays at 3B and they try to get Brandon Lowe from Tampa?

[@denningfamily2145]

Rosey is giving too much thought to Soto's pauses etc. His English isn't as strong as you think it is, he has to think about it, make sure he is saying it the right way. He takes his english speaking very seriously and has worked at it for a very long time.

[@el_puma_real]
