Potential teams for Juan Soto - The Michael Kay Show TMKS Nov 12 2024

[@Standdividedfalltogether]

Bro still hung up on the Yankees needing to take a private jet to Cali for a biz meeting. Lol. Oh the horror.

[@pinverarity]

I just don’t believe that the Dodgers are seriously in on him; he’s basically a DH-in-waiting without any of the positional flexibility (not to say talent) that they value highly. And we’ve already got a pretty good DH.

[@benjamin0089]

bingo. also add to that soto defense is below average that's why some fans want soto to be a DH in the Yankees lasr season.

[@livinb450]

The Dodgers do not want Juan Soto. They don’t use bad defensive players.

[@neorock6135]

I guess, since you say so. All the reporting of their front office saying otherwise, must be dead wrong🤣 He's a generational talent who hasn't even reached his peak - Only 6 other players in MLB history had 200 HR's at age 26, which he turned last week... Including Mickey Mantle & Albert Pujols. But who cares, cuz "defense"🤦🏻‍♂️

[@livinb450]

@ Andrew Friedman has not agreed with Scott Boras on a multi year deal in a long long time. Defense? is very important to the Dodgers.. also, they are big on clubhouse chemistry. wait n see, the dodgers won’t sign him. I do agree, he is a great hitter.

[@kingpinballer242]

I wonder if Rogers didn't go all in last year when they didn't get Otani because they had planned all along to go all in on Soto AND extend Vladdy right after this year? They have only a couple of bigger contacts on the books after 2026 so plenty of flexibility to rebuild around Vlad and Soto. Remember Ramerez and Big Papa years in Boston?

[@boolanny]

i think the same thing, i bet they announce Vladdy, Bo and Juan at the same time and blow everyone away.

[@Floww23]

Somewhere “cool” is subjective New York sucks to live in 2024

[@johnpestano22]

i'm a hard pass on Soto i feel we can get better without him as crazy as that sounds. you don't need Soto to win a championship he helps but you don't need him. spread the money around address the weaknesses on this team which were exposed in the playoffs even in the WS. that game 5 was horrible we lack athletes and competent defenders. the Yankees have put players in positions where they are not comfortable like why is Judge playing CF to accommodate Soto. still it short sides him because he's not a center fielder same with Cabrera. he's not a 1B he's a natural 2B/3B although he handle himself well there. i just feel the Yankees need to address the holes and put people in positions to succeed.

[@mike_0213]

If I was an owner (LOL) I would offer a $52,000,000 for 14 years and not a penny more. Soto is 26, I highly doubt he will sign a $60-65 million contract for 10 years. He is looking for his forever team and looking for a contract to take him to his age 38 or 39 season. Now I could be way off but if Hal offers him a 13-15 year contract at or above $50 million, he might come back. Soto has earned the right to listen to every offer and take the MOST money. How hard it is to make it to the majors and be as good as he is, he is owed the money.. I still feel paying these players 700 million or 600 million is freaking NUTS. This is the world we live in now and have to except that.

[@Standdividedfalltogether]

Mets fan here. Would rather allocate 600+ million to make the Mets a more complete team.

[@weevie833]

No one mentioned which team has the best batting order that offers Soto the best position to be pitched to. Do you think he had a career year in 2024 because he was particularly better this year than others past? Or maybe it had something to do with batting in front of the AL MVP? At the end of the day, the guy loves to play baseball, and it would suck for him if he ended up somewhere where he got pitched around.

Soto left San Diego and that team got better, NO ONE player should dominate the budget on a team sport.
