00:00Let me just give you some more of the particulars here on Soto before I move on from it.

00:09$765,000 for $15,000.

00:10He gets a $75,000,000 signing bonus.

00:17And Heyman Roan here, a state tax advantage because he's a Florida resident.

00:20I guess that means he doesn't get taxed on the $75,000,000 because he lives in Florida.

00:24I guess that's how all that works.

00:27He gets about $120,000,000 overall pay in 2025.

00:31No deferred money in this deal.

00:33He can opt out after five years.

00:36He'd only be 30 years old.

00:38He gets a Citi Field suite for his family.

00:41That's an estimated value of $500,000 per year.

00:44He gets a suite as well in the deal.

00:49So there you go.

00:50Lots of the particulars when it comes to Soto.

00:55He's did bid $760,000 for $16,000.

00:59Now there's another story that's been floated in the last hour or so that Hal did have a

01:04chance to go match blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:10Who cares at this point?

01:11He's a man.

01:12I don't want to hear all the, all the secondhand stuff.

01:14These right.

01:15At least people that want to carry water for the Yankees and for Hal and try to make it

01:20look like they were so close, but whatever they didn't get them.

01:23They didn't get the job done.

01:25And that's that.

01:26So that's, it's over with.

01:29And he can leave in five years.

01:31He can opt out in five years.

01:34Yes.

01:35Now, would you opt out of a deal where you get, I guess you're only 30 years old.

01:40I guess.

01:41Can you get another 700 million at 30 years old?

01:42I'm not too sure.

01:44Although I'm sure five years ago we didn't think someone would, or maybe we did think

01:49someone would get $765 million.

01:51So what do you think someone could get five years from now when they're still 30?

01:56So I guess it's possible that he could, you know, we saw a ride billion, someone's going

02:03to get a billion.

02:04I think some player will get a billion bottom line is if he's miserable in Queens and if,

02:10you know, it doesn't go well and they're booing him and he hates it, he can leave in five

02:15years and I wouldn't be surprised if he did 15 years is crazy.

02:21I don't want to give anybody in any sport that many years.

02:24I think it's too much.

02:25I mean, the money's gargantuan, good for him.

02:28He gets all that, a suite and everything else, and he can leave in five.

02:31He got all the cards.

02:34He got all the cards.

02:35That was probably the deal breaker for how he didn't want to give him the suite because

02:39that's money.

02:40Like, yeah, he gets money from this.

02:41I'm just, I'm making a joke.

02:42Obviously.

02:43I didn't want to give him a suite when it came down to it at the end of the day, the

02:47Mets were 12 to one for next year's World Series before signing Juan Soto.

02:53They moved all the way up to seven to one after signing.

02:57They are the second choice on the board behind the Dodgers who of course spend also like

03:03drunken sailors.

03:04So plus three 40 for the Dodgers plus 700 for the Mets.

03:08And look, this is remember it was a good run for the Mets to the NLCS last year, but they

03:16were, what did they finish in their division this year, Scottie?

03:20You know, they, it was, you know, they were, they didn't win the division.

03:23They were a wild card team.

03:24You know, it's, they were good.

03:25They were a good team.

03:26Now, who can they sign is the question when they give this guy all this money, how can

03:33they sign other people?

03:35You start wondering about who they're going to be able to sign.

03:38It sounds like Alonzo will be gone.

03:40I don't think so.

03:41Oh, I don't think so.

03:42Oh, I think this guy's gonna, I think he's good for a lot more.

03:48I don't think they're done in any aspect.

03:50I think he'll bring Alonzo back.

03:52I think he'll sign either Fried or Burns.

03:54I think he'll get the Tanner Scott, you know, go get him to assist.

03:58You got to remember what now you see the Mets fans are going to, they're going to love this.

04:03They are now what they hated forever.

04:06The Mets are now what they hated.

04:08They despise the Yankees being able to do this for a very long time.

04:11This is now them.

04:13Uncle Stevie can just walk up the aisle like he's at the supermarket.

04:18I'll get a starting pitcher here, I'll get a closer here, I'll get a first baseman here

04:22and he'll just keep throwing things in the cart because there is no limit.

04:27The guy's worth seven or $8 billion or whatever.

04:29It's probably more than that.

04:30I'm probably selling him a little short and there's no limit to what he could do.

04:34This is a drop in the bucket, $765 million for Juan Soto.

04:38I think it's the first time they've ever really shown up the Yankees.

04:42This guy's finally done it.

04:45He's made them, you know, more important than the Yankees.

04:49They got the best player.

04:50You saw what he did for the Yankees.

04:52He took them to the world series.

04:53He carried him on his back.

04:55Let's face it.

04:56In the playoffs.

04:57He was their best player.

04:58It wasn't judge.

04:59It was Soto.

05:00And he was just clutch as hell.

05:02And now he's playing for the Mets and the Mets are now the deal in town.

05:07And his buddy judge is left out there in the outfield without him now.

05:10So I think they have to go sign pictures.

05:13I think they have to go spend money now on other players.

05:17Like I said before, they lost a Domus.

05:19So go get arms.

05:21Arms are what win playoff games.

05:23Arms are what gets you to the world series.

05:25You get a couple of bats like they had last year with judge and Soto.

05:31It gets you into the playoffs, gets you to the world series.

05:34But Soto is the reason they got there.

05:36And then they blew it, obviously.

05:38Now he's gone.

05:39So they got to go get arms to make that team better because the bottom line was they were

05:44just outclassed by the Dodgers.

05:46Let's face it.

05:47They got their ass beat.
