Precisely. Ohtani earned as much as he did because he's a multi-hyphenate. Soto is a poor fielder who will move to DH by 28. And even then he isn't touching Shohei. He's worth a mega contract, but he shouldn't be making over 700 million. He needs protection to succeed.

For me, what makes him so great a hitter is that he is the most difficult opponent to face. With the game on the line, he is the most dangerous hitter in baseball. That at-bat to win the ALCS is exactly why he is worth the money. He fouls off well-executed pitches over and over, and he has the power to take advantage of a mistake...if you want to call 98 up in the zone a mistake. Nobody does what he does consistently. He's an average defender. We can find excellent outfielders. You can't find anyone else to hit like he does.

Soto at any cost no, but not because of money, but because of signings that will follow Soto's contract agreement. So maybe its safe to say I kinda agree with BT on a lot of fronts. LGM

[@AWaywardWriter]

This is my thought. If they sign him, great, but I don't want it to be used as an excuse not to chase or retain other players. You don't spend 700m on one guy just to hedge the rest of your off season. They still have to get Alonso, Sean, and a handful of trustworthy starters.

Says the Yankee sympathisers when they realize the Yankees can't afford him after all their foolish prior contracts they signed

[@reginaldoyasay4593]

Not generational. Unless you consider 8 months a generation

[@Xenlacasa45]

He carried his team to the playoffs and a world series title as a rookie come on now he was 19 years old and only played in the majors for a few months and was hitting off elite pitchers like Josh Hader

[@reginaldoyasay4593]

@ Hey, he’s excellent for sure and I would like him on my team. But generational? 0.285 batting average and 30HRs a year and 6 WAR average. Hey those are all good but to me, not generational. Also, someone made a good point to me. How come Judge and his other Yankee teammates are clamoring publicly to keep him. And what happened in San Diego. I think he would flourish if he went to the Dodgers. In case you’re wondering, I’m an Angels fan. Unfortunately. They had two generational players and messed that shit up

[@Xenlacasa45]

@@reginaldoyasay4593 yeah dodgers would be a good fit for him if they resign teoscar first. Soto hit 40 homeruns btw he will likely hit that again this upcoming season maybe more with more experience now and he's entering his prime.

@@reginaldoyasay4593 I miss the angels from the 2000's with Chone figgins and Vladimir Guerrero sr

Couple of weeks ago you guys were acting like he was the greatest player now he’s a fraud because he might not sign if he changes his mind he will be great again

[@elogotya9237]

soto is better more durable and more clutch especially in the playoffs then ohtani, judge or anyone else since ted williams, stop hating on my guy he's going to the mets

[@elogotya9237]

who cares about being a good baserunner or a gold glove defender when the bat is clutch

the cope is crazy

Worth it for 5 years. Opt out and move on

[@JonathanRamsay-ei6pw]

The kid has been destroying that baseball in this league since he was destroying the astros at 19 years of age tell me when you’ve seen a teenager dominate a World Series that’s called generational

[@willm3027]

He is overrated I think. Whoever gets him won’t win a championship and your team will crumble for a decade.

[@user-bmw528]

Lol why?

[@mochacondulce]

13:52 -- Being THE man. He's Dominican. There is no other answer. So, No. 1 Money, No. 2 Money, No. 3 Being the Man.

[@dylangreen7970]

That's what I'm saying. Lose him you have so much room to get even better than with him.

[@Ticonderoga12]

Soto is NOT worth it long term

[@Ticonderoga12]

I really do hope he signs with Boston
