New York Mets owner Steve Cohen will meet Juan Soto - The Michael Kay Show TMKS Nov 7 2024

[@RichMc-ys5hr]

At the end of the day Soto is no different from everyone else on the planet he will work for the club that pays him the most money he’s loyalty is to himself. At the end of the day honestly there is nothing wrong with that

[@TheDeepShallow]

If the owner can’t be bothered to meet with a guy you’re paying 600 mil. That’s a problem.

[@rhh3828]

I think what you guys are missing is that Boras only negotiates with the owner. He refuses to meet with GMs for most of his clients. That’s why he called Hal. Because an emotional owner who isn’t as baseball savvy will give him more of what he wants

[@mentionifwrong]

Kay is so absurd. Comparing Mets fans to “rich kids.” What a joke.

[@rokka222]

Trump is President, again. People can believe literally anything.

[@drumitar]

well they are going to outspend the yanks, so hes right.

[@mentionifwrong]

@@drumitar so a kid of someone who is worth $350 million is a rich kid but being the child of someone worth $327 million is not? He’s an egregious person, but I don’t think that was his point. His point is that Mets fans expecting their owner to sign a superstar is being spoiled. I guess in his logic, only other teams are entitled to superstars.

[@stephenciccone1739]

Lmao I’m a die hard Mets fan and think that’s a funny comment. Also true. Why is it absurd?

[@danabrahams7892]

Michael Kay... THIS is NOT about what Sterns wants or has BEEN operating. THIS! OBTAINING JUAN SOTO IS ALL ABOUT WHAT STEVE COHEN WANTS. "YA GOTTA BELIEVE," baby!!! 😂😂😂 #LFGM 🏆🥂🍾🎉🎊✨️

[@rayfonseca6292]

It’s pretty hilarious guys. If you both agree fully that he’s gonna go for the most money. Why spend the whole show talking about it lol.

[@brandondavenport6147]

No team should pay Juan Soto what he wants

[@Matt-r8v7c]

I want to start by saying we all love baseball and i don't hate any team or their fans. Thing is i remember george s buying players left and right. The mets could never compete with the Yankees. So when i see yankee fans complain soto just going to the highest bidder is just a lack of loyalty i think you gotta be kidding me. The Yankees used to buy championships, now the mets are the top money guys and they say its petty. The best thing to happen to the ny mets org is steve cohen becoming owner and his honest love of this team and getting david sterns as pobo. You saw how exciting they were last yr and its only going to get better for the mets from ere on out. I hope the yanks do well. But im super psyched for the next decade of mets baseball. LGM

[@Robert-hr6pj]

Absolutely correct

[@Am31719]

Exactly ! Been saying this. It was all fine when they did it for years but now they’re complaining bout the dodgers or Mets spending like crazy. Sorry y’all aren’t the only spenders anymore.

[@andrewmein7457]

Only a clown would think that the Joe Torre dynasty were 'purchased championships.' One of the best modern sports team was created by a phenomenal farm. Sure, they were able to afford to keep their superstars, but they became superstars while on that team.

[@Matt-r8v7c]

@andrewmein7457 dude why you gotta go there? You can disagree fine but why with the names? Look mets are spending getting guys others simply can't. They're priced out. I remember the 70s and how frustrating it was. Best of luck to you all you made it the the WS and even if you don't win you got a he'll of a lot of fun out of the year. You can't only enjoy the years you win the WS because if you did you'd spend more time n9t enjoying the game than enjoying it. But whatever, cheers.

[@cejannuzi]

I like Soto as a full-time DH and occasional OFer. Perhaps he's a better fit for the Mets actually--or LAD. Especially if Dominguez succeeds as a NYY OFer. NYY are stuck with Stanton. And we know play-off Stanton is not the same thing as full-season Stanton. And as a long-time NYY and MLB fan, I can't for the life of me show great joy over 10 year plus contracts. They never pan out.

[@leam89]

At 26 nobody will be full time DHing Soto. He's not a great outfielder but his bat is so good you overlook the fielding. I do think his lack of athleticism will be a problem on a big contract similar to Pujols

[@keysersoze503]

Soto will end up a DH. He's a lousy fielder. Dominguez is not that good.

[@stonksbrrrr8669]

Didn’t Gerrit Cole do the same thing? He took the huge offer from the Yankees then tried to say it was “because my dad is a Yankees fan and he took me to the games when I was a kid”

[@Eiuol81853]

Money aside, if I'm Soto, I would want to go somewhere just so I can build a legacy somewhere that isn't currently a legacy superpower. Going to be a forever player with the Metropolitans would give Soto that chance. The Yanks already have Judge. Juan can go to Queens (or Frisco or Toronto or Boston) and lead to the franchise's resurgence.

[@guidofeliz8384]

When will we ever stop to think that no person, regardless of talent, deserves that kind of money? When will baseball return to baseball?

[@cgtz9526]

It starts with the owners. They raised the prices and are worth billions . If a team bring in 80 extra million dollars in from winning extra games bc of Soto and merch etc then he should easily get 50 .

[@guidofeliz8384]

@cgtz9526 : True, but it doesn't make it right? Soto to possibly make more than 50 million per year while the rest of humanity has to work twice as hard in other avenues of work just to get by. Do you honestly believe that Soto is better than you as a person? For example, I am a professional guitarist. I bet Soto does not play guitar. So, you see, I know something the great Soto does not know how to do. In conclusion, no one is better than anyone else. When rich and famous people die, they are buried in the same cemetery with everyone else, famous or not.

[@cesarcussianovich6175]

Guido Loser Kamala supporters shouldn’t talk about baseball ,. Move on or move to another country,. What a loser !!!!

[@cesarcussianovich6175]

Guido ,.do you think I should care about how much you make or you should care about to get a job and pay your own bills ? So now with are going to have. 14 years old mentally losers talking about how people make money Who wants to deal with your comunist dialectical Listen comunist This is a free country Soto was very clear He will sign for the team that will offer him most money case Mr comunist

[@widiwidi8685]

@@guidofeliz8384 What are you talking about? it is simply about market price of product, don't bring humanity into conversation about money. If Soto have ability to play baseball, can bring a team into higher ceiling and raise their floor skill, have big market that will follow him, and brand that is in par with the other high earners of the sport, why is he wrong for pricing himself as high as he can? Again, this is business, Soto have a product to sell, it is limited, and market willing to pay. Bring your humanity talk to Ukraine

[@johnfadian15]

Remember the only time in Yankee history Ron guidry and Randolph were co-captians

[@BBB17470]

Kay saying judge is bettter than Soto is just plain stupid, Soto hasn’t even reach his prime yet and has proven to excel in the post season unlike judge who is a choker

[@enriquemorin1238]

And will sing......

[@markmilitant]

The reason why the Yankees lost is the reason they’ll keep losing stop going for the biggest name players fix the weakness the defense the hitting not home runs

[@silverscreenpreviews]

Judge without Soto is appx 44 RBI's less. Doesn't Hal have to keep his "Captain" happy?

[@chalkbunt81]

Its not" myriad of reasons", its " myriad reasons". You're welcome.

[@G3ro_Oni_mo]

It's a business at the end of the day. When we add feelings to the mix everything gets blurry. I love Soto but giving him all that money just doesn't make sense If you want to build a complete championship team.

[@bentley230]

I don’t understand why Kay is absolutely certain that money is the ultimate be-all-end-all for Soto.

[@JoeyAgzBDA]

That’s why you hire Boras..

[@Rickhorse1]

Gee, Alex told Kay...and Kay believes him. Not like Alex ever lied! LOL Is there any player who was LESS believable than Alex Rodriguez?

[@33moneyball]

Ohtani makes $46 per….not $70. That money is the product of extreme deferred money and a nominal rate of return anyone could easily earn. Soto is NOT getting a real $60 per. He might get a real 10/500…..or 14/600 at the very highest end. Prediction 14/$550

[@Robert-hr6pj]

Mets are going to let Alonso walk. Soto seems like the one exception where they will pay a ridiculous price.

[@NC2871926]

Soto will go to the Dodgers. 100%. Come back to this comment

[@kennethfrawley2420]

Yankees don't have an option, they HAVE to bring back Soto or that trade will have been awful for them. You spent Michael King, Higgy and others and a year later have nothing for it

I can't wait to see the look on Don's face when he winds up going to the Dodgers and snubs Stevie.

Short term, high dollar. Mets will keep it under 7 years.

You're making shit up

Did you see him in the playoffs? He’s the best pure hitter in the world. The best big game player in the world. He’ll be worth every penny

[@mickeymelendez1605]

How many injuries Ohtani have 4 or more. Juan Soto none 💪

[@keysersoze503]

You are so right. He can't field, run or pitch. He's basically a .280 power hitter. He's 1/2 of Ohtani and 2/3 of Judge.

[@jeyfez8851]

I think Michael Kay is completely wrong here ... Soto has always been fawned of the Yankees ever since he was 16 said in an interview .. if the money is close he stays with the Yankees

[@lukaxxlunchpailguyxxdoncic9293]

Michael Kay is failing upwards!

[@robertponzini3422]

The idea that Cohen can pay whatever it takes because he's got 20 billion dollars is ridiculous. Yeah, and the reason he has that much money is because he wouldn't throw it away recklessly and is financially responsible.

You apparently missed his first 2 years as an owner lololol

He did on 2 over the hill pitchers.

I guess you never play the game. Ohtani 4 or more injury's. Juan Soto none 💪🏆

[@Mykall777]

Been saying for weeks the Yankees lost the World Series from bad fielding and lack of depth in the lineup. Let the Mets overpay him and use that money on Santander Kim and Walker

[@leam89]

Yeah but it was mostly one inning and judge wasn't judging. That's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes

[@Robert-hr6pj]

Yankees wouldn’t have gotten there without Soto. That can’t be ignored

[@Mykall777]

@leam89 Gleyber not cutting the ball off properly and giving Ohtani a free 90 feet is what cost them game 1. In a way, that kinda highlights my point, signing better fielders to improve the defense and hope that Judge figures it out.

[@Mykall777]

@Robert-hr6pj definitely not, but in the end, with or without Soto, Judge has to be better. Resigning Soto gives Judge more room for error but the only way the win a world series is if he's better in the postseason

[@Robert-hr6pj]

@@Mykall777 absolutely, Judge has to look like the captain in the postseason not just the regular season. We will see if the Yankees get Soto or if he goes to my Mets.

Michael Kay barely disguises his contempt for Cohen and the Mets. When the Yankees were the money bags of baseball it was O.K for Steinbrenner to buy the best players but now that the Mets are wealthy its not fair. Boo Hoo Yankee Boy! Kay has become a bitter old whiner. He must have found out how much more Gary, Keith and Ron make.
