Us not getting Harper or Machado in 2019 when both wanted to be here, is why we’re in this position. And tbh we deserve it.

Not signing those 2 that year was a HUGE mistake. Losing Soto can be a blessing in disguise, but it depends on what they do the next 6 weeks. Burnes and 3 bats (Bregman, Santander, Walker) combined will be less than Soto and make the Yankees a much better team.

I’m not a Yanks fan but based on what I watched in the playoffs the Yanks weren’t a Juan Soto resign away from number 28. I think they’re better off filling the other holes. They need strength throughout their line up and signing that deal would have kept them from making their team better throughout. They may nit be able to fill those holes in one offseason but that’s my 2 cents. Obviously, it is understandable to be extremely disappointed.

Contracts are gonna keep going up. People are looking at the total dollar value of the contract and saying it’s bad because they’re comparing it to ohtani but this contract is 5 years longer. $51 mil a year is not bad for a dude who’s 26 and is already one of the most complete hitters ever. Verlander and scherzer signed contracts with a $43 mil Aav and wheeler is making $42 mil a year. Even if the Mets exercise the option in 5 years to make the aav $55 mil that’s still gonna be a bargain compared to what other players will be getting paid by then.

Jays fan here - I'm selfishly happy another AL East club didn't get Soto. I knew we wouldn't be the ones he'd sign with, so the Mets are a best case scenario for me. As a fan of Jomboy Media, I was pretty crushed for you guys. The Yankees haven't felt like the Yankees for a while now. When I first started watching baseball in the early 2000's, the Yankees always felt like a juggernaut. I hated them, but I always loved watching them. Soto long-term + a few other big signings felt like the catalyst that could push you guys in getting back towards that status. As much as fans may hate it, when the Yankees and Dodgers are loaded, it makes baseball more fun. It makes them the evil empire and we all get so invested in rooting against it. It's good for the game. Also Jake saying "I'm gonna be telling Baby James about, 'You were in Australia.

It is a team sport and the Yankees have a lot of holes from hitting to bullpen to rotation. Also, talking with pitchers like Fried doesnt mean they thought they wouldnt get him. It's called covering all your bases just in case. They needed to keep talks alive with other free agents just in case and fortunately they did because now we have a lot of opening ti build a championship team. I feel like you guys are way too negative about this news of Soto that isn't and shouldn't be that surprising to you. He's always been about the money.

[@Imthejra]

Would love for the Yankees to pick up Bregman for 3B, Walker for 1B, Fried or Burnes. Obviously nobody gets on base like Soto did, but we need upgrades at defense.

[@fernandoposada5440]

That line up is gonna suck . And thry need both burnes and fried

[@Imthejra]

@ I would love both Burnes and fried, but not sure they are going that far. And what else do we do for the lineup? You can’t replace Soto.

[@jrzygurl]

@jcsquared1111 nah..not really.. I was in the minority of not wanting him in the first place... if the Yankees had gotten him that's all that they would have been able to do.. it would have been a two-man team and it would have failed at the end of the day just like it did in the World Series... the Yankees could get pitching we could get for space filled perhaps a backup catcher the Martian could pay center judge will be back in right..nah dude I'm glad it went down this way.... maybe soro will help the Mets not shit the bed again.... the Yankees took a dump in the World Series, on this there can be no debate, but the Mets didn't even make it that far.....Soto will eventually wind up a DH because he is a subpar filter and he can't run the bases.... he is not a five-point player..... but good luck Mets with your two World Series rings... we will see you in the Bronx😜

It’s obvious he only plays for money, and the fact that teams thought he was worth anything above 500 million is hilarious. This contract no matter how Mets fans try to look at it, it’s not going to end well unless the dude somehow turns superhuman and becomes a 2 way player. Why won’t teams spend that money on multiple players? Dodgers have been doing it and more, they obviously were smart enough to not join in bidding for a greedy player.

@@miked2075 Sasaki, Burnes, Teo, Santander, Bregman, Walker? Getting at least two players from this pool and a trade for Bellinger is a nice recovery after Soto's departure. If they really need the defense, Ha-Seong Kim is a nice addition on a short-term deal (2-3 years with opt-outs after the first and second seasons). He can play third if they miss out on Bregman or Arenado trade, and have Jazz play second.
