[@anthonyreyes8868]

Wow a video thats actually worth watching from Kay these are rare

[@Dre2Dee2]

Hal: "So uhh.... you'll take a discount right?" Soto: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Hal, turning to a translator: "What'd he say?"

There’s no way you read his comments and thought that

[@tankwfw]

Kay: "The Yankees print money. They can get anyone they want" Also Kay: "You cant criticize Hal, he spends $295m a year on payroll!!!"

[@MikeD_]

Steinbrenner's quotes indicates he's not planning to lose, but there is a point when it can become ridiculous.

[@JustMeELC]

You'd think $660 million is far past that for in reality a dh only

[@engell3707]

[@GFS695]

Kay has been knocking Soto all off season, if Soto goes back to yanks he should call out this clown.

[@Dre2Dee2]

He wont cause Kay already knows Soto is gone, the Yanks told him. Kay was given PERMISSION to attack Soto, and is following orders

[@johns.7501]

Rather use the money to fill up the many holes Yankees have; 1B, 3B, LF,RP, SP

[@stinkyglitch]

Soto took us to the world series. We should sign soto bregman goldy skenes. bring up lf jason dom and platoon goldy at first with rice.

[@johnpestano22]

@@johns.7501 right go build a team instead of building a 4 player team. We went to the WS with Soto and lost. Which proves we're not good enough to win a championship.

Hal makes all his $ off licensing fees & real estate ffs. Ps a dh only player isn't worth 700 million 🙄 The hype train has gone off the rails massively lol

bro Soto is not worth $600-$700 million move on

[@engell3707]

I know right? Look at the Padres, they did better this year without Soto. What does that tell you?

[@milesbolton734]

The fact he thinks he worth Ohtani money is asinine

Walk Soto, bring the prospects, get Arraez, get more, more pitching.

Yankee prospects are always bunk action.

If George Steinbrenner were alive, no question that Soto would be a Yank.

[@Dre2Dee2]

If Steinbrenner were alive, Cashman and Boone would've been out on their ass years ago

[@engell3707]

@@Dre2Dee2and Kay for that matter

[@RedLetterRedux]

So if they sign Soto, they will be counting an awful lot of internal players picking up slack. Jazz will stay at 3B and hopefully be a consistent defender. Durbin is likely the 2B. Decent change of DJ/Rice timeshare at 1B. Dominguez would for sure be a starting outfielder.

[@Yabdielrr27]

It’s crazy seeing what the owner of the Dodgers is doing, and I’ve been thinking, on how Hal doesn’t get off his ass and do the same. It’s time to accept reality, we’re not going to be a winning team for a while.

[@dbreiden83080]

Hal better pony up or face the wrath.

[@bright6200]

Or face the wrath of what? You? Get a brain, if it doesn't make sense the yankees shouldn't do it.

[@joekasprzak9701]

Let him walk

[@UcciMeis]

Listen guys, The Yankees make money and have the money to buy all 29 teams. Don't be fooled because we have the money for any athlete.

[@pmoney7248]

Yanks need him for sure they will not be nearly as good without him but i dont see them going over 45mill a year tbh perfect fit him and judge DH/RF when Stanton leaves hell be like 29 then so makes sense for sure if he was a better fielder and wasnt slow af he would get close to 700 easily but over 45mil a year getting kinda crazy

[@mikehenry1698]

😂

[@ncogneeto]

Doesn't matter yankee revenue is 4.5 billion

[@malkinmalone]

If Soto ends up on the Mets it swings the power balance in the majors so heavily over to the NL. You are talking about the best teams in baseball being Dodgers, Padres, Mets, for sure. You could even argue Phillies and Braves are all better than any team in the American League. Of course there are always surprises when the season starts but the yankees line up without Soto isn’t looking that promising. Of course picking up Walker would be a big help but his bat isn’t Soto’s. They’re looking like a .500 team if Judge has to miss any time at all.

[@user-by9jb2kj3c]

The conversation regarding Soto from Steve Cohen point of view is ridiculous. You’re not talking about six $700 million a year you’re talking about approximately $47 million a year. So give us a break. Thank you.

[@CaboSteveJ]

One player does not a Championship team make! Will fans flock to Mets just to see Soto if they are still a loosing team?

[@Am0ment0fB]

LGM Ha.

[@mikeniles1792]

Far too much money Fans will pay in the end Soto Hitter & Great personality is so so fielding & running bases

[@MarvinLeSure]

if 700 mil wouldn't affect him why hasn't he gave soto the money and called it a day or why hasn't he beat the dodgers and won multiple world series for that matter

[@haitiyouyou76]

Because Scotty Boras wants to pump the negotiations more. He's probably looking for 800 Millions. The man wet dream is to bankrupt the Major League of Baseball

[@EliLove954]

Some people got the money but try to take the cheaper route 🤷

[@SO-if3yn]

Kay is very childish with Soto not favoring the yanks and wanting the most money. His mindset kept players at a low salary with no Free Agency for past players.

[@Ihnw2]

He is going to the Mets, this coming from a yankees fan. He doesnt care about the history or the championships, he wants the most money. The mets can offer that. This yankees team is horrible defensively, and has been for a long time. They rely on offense aka the homerun way too much. They need to spend big on upgrades for the infield, one solid outfielder and one solid pitcher. 600+ million would do that, the only thing is they wont spend that much to do it. If they dont get soto theyll spend about half of that and plug in in house options. People also mention the payroll but its relative to their market. They should be a top spender every year they make the most money in baseball.

[@tmc1967]

He gone. You’re in denial. lol. Also, Mets revenue is about 60% of NYY. How can you be a broadcaster and not know this?

[@alyssafriedman7726]

Baseball needs a cap. All sports have 1. Its time again

[@joshuachelette6277]

Na

[@g311music]

Why? What’s your premise for wanting a cap? Are you paying the players salaries? Why should the franchise be able to make all the profits and screw over the players who make them wealthy? Everyone deserves what they generate the top players deserve the most money because people pay to see them play when’s the last time you went to a Yankees game to watch Tim Hill pitch! You pay to see Judge Soto and if Cole is on the mound Cole!

[@g311music]

Michael Kay acts like the Yankees are the Pirates these fools can buy every superstar on the open market if they wanted to! Hal has to play within the luxury tax threshold, if there wasn’t a tax Hal would probably be spending much more for players.

[@Dre2Dee2]

Hal would spend a LITTLE more, but Hal is not going to operate the Yanks for a single season if he's not making money off the top, he's just not. He doesn't love baseball, he loves money, let's be real

[@JorgeFeliz-v4l]

He’s going to the mets nobody outbidding cohen

[@engell3707]

I don’t know. If Cohen sees that Boras and Soto just want to milk his ass, he might step off.

[@signaturefloors4288]

This conversation is completely pointless….. Seriously boys?…. Of course Cohen is going to dip into his other sources of income.

[@luisventura3055]

You guys are freaking selfish, it does not matter how Steve get the money from to sign Juan soto, not of your business. Remember Steinbrenner senior back 80s. 90s and early 2000s no teams on the mlb couldn’t compete with him on getting top talent so it is Mets turn and other teams turns. Thanks God Steve cohen bought the Mets to end your selfishness

[@dirksingleton5550]

86

[@stinkyglitch]

Steve cohen couldnt even get to the world series with his payroll how much more billions will steve burn on the mets?

[@MikeD_]

George was reinvesting the Yankees money back into the team, not his personal wealth. George wasn't that wealthy comparatively, putting maybe a couple hundred K of his own cash into the group that bought the team. He then kept putting all the profits back into building the team. Cohen is using his own personal money. Not saying that's wrong or right, just noting there's a significant difference.

[@charleskletter8974]

Stop making Steve Cohen out to be some kind of genius with wealth. The Mets have no history of winning. They replaced the Brooklyn Dodgers now LA Dodgers and the NY Giants aka San Francishitgo Giants. The last championship the Mets won was 86 when they developed their own talent from the draft and farm system no blow everyone away with mega contracts to players who’s agents are greedy - Scott Boras. If the Mets really wanted Soto why didn’t they trade for him this past 2023 off season. They didn’t. They have a GM who believes in developing the team within the farm system. So you Muts got to the NLCS. You got lucky as the playoff system is wide open with this stupid wild card system. Buying players doesn’t lead to championships. Even George Steinbrenner knew that when he was reinstated in the early 90s. There is no winning history with the Muts/Mets. I don’t care how much money your uncle Stevie Cohen has, it’s how you build your team not buy your team. The Yankees, Dodgers are winning franchises. The Mets will never be. They like the Jets and Rangers never learn that blowing money at players doesn’t lead to success. It’s how you build your team within. Cohen is one of these spoiled little rich boys who grew up a Mets fan seeking revenge against the Yankees. If he was smart he would let his GM run the team and build within the farm system while making key trades. Same can be said about my Yankees. With Soto, Yankees don’t lose star players when they have them. Your owner Cohen has the media by the balls. Even if let’s say Soto signed with the Mets, they would go nowhere. You use your teams resources not your own personal finances. It’s called smart business something uncle Cohen needs to learn and spoiled immature Mets fans need to learn.

[@dirksingleton5550]

Nah soto would just have years with no championship met fans are going on 38years and counting

[@EliLove954]

@alyssafriedman7726 As much as I'd like to see him stay. I have to admit, I can live with him going to the Mets for more money. You can't be mad at someone for wanting a pay raise. However, I would probably lose respect for him if he signed with The Dodgers or Boston. That changes the whole dynamics. If he stays in NY and goes to the Mets then hey he's gotta do what he's gotta do. I ain't mad at him.

[@stinkyglitch]

Soto aint going to the mets for less than $10 m a yr extra

[@MikeD_]

The Yankees, if they lose Soto, can potentially be a stronger team by addressing other areas with the money that was going to Soto. It's baseball. No one player guarantees anything.

[@thomastronetti7719]

After we lose him, we gonna run back the half ass " all -in" jive you tried selling us last year??? Of course you are, Hal! Sell The Team!
