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

00:11$765,000 for $15,000.

00:13He gets a $75,000,000 signing bonus and Heyman Roan here, a state tax advantage because he's

00:21a Florida resident.

00:23I guess that means he doesn't get taxed on the $75,000,000 because he lives in Florida.

00:27I guess that's how all that works.

00:29He gets about $120,000,000 overall pay in 2025.

00:34No deferred money in this deal.

00:36He can opt out after five years.

00:38He'd only be 30 years old.

00:40He gets a Citi Field suite for his family.

00:43That's an estimated value of $500,000 per year needed.

00:47That's sweet.

00:48Gets a suite as well in the deal.

00:51So there you go.

00:52Lots of the particulars when it comes to Soto.

00:57He's did bid $760,000 for $16,000.

01:01Now there's another story that's been floated in the last hour or so that Howell did have

01:06a chance to go match blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

01:12Who cares at this point?

01:13He's a man.

01:14I don't want to hear all the, all the secondhand stuff.

01:17He's right.

01:18At least people that want to carry water for the Yankees and for Howell and try to make

01:22it look like they were so close, but whatever, they didn't get them.

01:26They didn't get the job done.

01:27And that's that.

01:28So that's, it's over with.

01:30And he can leave in five years.

01:34He can opt out in five years.

01:36Yes.

01:37Now, would you opt out of a deal where you get, I guess you're only 30 years old.

01:42I guess.

01:43Can you get another 700 million at 30 years old?

01:44I'm not too sure.

01:46Although I'm sure five years ago, we didn't think someone would, or maybe we did think

01:51someone would get $765 million.

01:53So what do you think someone could get five years from now when they're still 30?

01:58So I guess it's possible that he could, you know, we saw A-Rod do it with the Yankees.

02:04A billion.

02:05Someone's going to get a billion.

02:06I think some player will get a billion.

02:08Bottom line is this, if he's miserable in Queens and if, you know, it doesn't go well

02:14and they're booing him and he hates it, he can leave in five years.

02:18And I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

02:2115 years is crazy.

02:23I don't want to give anybody in any sport that many years.

02:26I think it's too much.

02:27I mean, the money's gargantuan.

02:29Good for him.

02:30He gets all that, a suite and everything else, and he can leave in five.

02:34He got all the cards.

02:36He got all the cards.

02:38That was probably the deal breaker for Hal.

02:40He didn't want to give him the suite because that's money like, yeah, he gets money from

02:43the suite.

02:44I'm just, I'm making a joke, obviously.

02:45I'm sure Hal didn't want to give him a suite when it came down to it at the end of the

02:49day.

02:50The Mets were 12 to one for next year's World Series before signing Juan Soto.

02:55They moved all the way up to seven to one after signing.

02:59They are the second choice on the board behind the Dodgers, who of course spend also like

03:05drunken sailors.

03:06So plus 340 for the Dodgers, plus 700 for the Mets.

03:11And look, this is, remember, it was a good run for the Mets to the NLCS last year, but

03:18they were, what did they finish in their division this year, Scotty?

03:22You know, they, it was, you know, they were, they didn't win the division.

03:26They were a wild card team.

03:27You know, it's.

03:28They were good.

03:29They were a good team.

03:30Now, who can they sign is the question.

03:31When they give this guy all this money, how can they sign other people?

03:32You start wondering about who they're going to be able to sign.

03:33It sounds like Alonzo will be gone.

03:34I don't think so.

03:35I can't say him.

03:36Oh, I don't think so.

03:37I think he'll bring Alonzo back.

03:54I think he'll sign either Fried or Burns.

03:56I think he'll get the Tanner Scott, you know, go get him too.

04:00It's just, you got to remember what now you see the Mets fans are going to, they're going

04:04to love this.

04:05They are now what they hated forever.

04:08The Mets are now what they hated.

04:10They despised the Yankees being able to do this for a very long time.

04:14This is now them.

04:15Uncle Stevie can just walk up the aisle like he's at the, like he's at the supermarket.

04:20I'll get a starting pitcher here.

04:22I'll get a closer here.

04:23I'll get a first baseman here and he'll just keep throwing things in the cart because there

04:28is no limit.

04:29The guy's worth seven or $8 billion or whatever.

04:31It's probably more than that.

04:32I probably selling him a little short.

04:34There's no limit to what he could do.

04:36This is a drop in the bucket, $765 million for Juan Soto.

04:40I think it's the first time they've ever really shown up the Yankees.

04:45This guy's finally done it.

04:47He's made them, you know, more important than the Yankees.

04:51They got the best player.

04:53You saw what he did for the Yankees.

04:54He took them to the world series.

04:55He carried him on his back.

04:57Let's face it in the playoffs.

04:59He was their best player.

05:00It wasn't judge.

05:01It was Soto and he was just clutch as hell and now he's playing for the Mets and the

05:06Mets are now the deal in town and his buddy judge is left out there in the outfield without

05:12him now.

05:13So I think they have to go sign pitchers.

05:15I think they have to go spend money now on other players.

05:19Like I said before, they lost Adamas.

05:21So go get arms.

05:23Arms are what win playoff games.

05:25Arms are what gets you to the world series.

05:28You get a couple of bats like they had last year with judge and Soto.

05:33It gets you into the playoffs, gets you to the world series.

05:36But Soto is the reason they got there and then they blew it.

05:39Obviously now he's gone.

05:41So they got to go get arms to make that team better because the bottom line was they were

05:46just outclassed by the Dodgers.

05:49Let's face it.

05:50They got their ass beat.

05:51They got their ass beat and they have got a lot of work to do now.

05:56Now that they are not going to have Soto back in the Bronx.

05:59But it sounds like they have a lot of money that they can now spend.

06:02The question is, will they spend it wisely or will they spend it foolishly?

06:07We shall see what the Yankees do with all that money they now have to go through.

06:12So there'll be a lot of deals the next few days.

06:13There's been a couple as well here.

06:16We've been the San Francisco Giants have been trying to hand money to people for years now.

06:21Right.

06:22I mean, they try giving money to everybody.

06:25Willie Adamas.

06:26They finally found somebody to say yes.

06:27Willie Adamas, seven years, 182 million for him as he goes out to San Francisco.

06:36Nice deal for Adamas, who was really the only big guy who said, I'm not waiting around for

06:39Soto.

06:40Someone's offered me 180 million.

06:41I'll see you later.

06:42I'm out of here.

06:43Do you think he's worth a buck?

06:4482?

06:45No, I don't.

06:46No.

06:47So much money.

06:48And remember this too.

06:49I think he's a good player.

06:54But one thing about playing in that park, that is not a big offensive hitter's park

06:59out in San Francisco at Oracle.

07:01It's not.

07:02Those numbers are not going to look the same for him going out there.

07:07There's only one guy who put up enormous numbers at that place.

07:11And that's Barry Bonds.

07:12He's the only guy.

07:13You know, that's just nobody else really goes there and hits 40 homers, 35, 40 homers.

07:18It's you know, that's just not what you do out at that place.

07:20So I don't think.

07:21They got better though.

07:22They got better.

07:24And with Adamas, now they got a couple of bats and a couple of guys that can really

07:29on that left side of that infield that can win gold gloves.

07:33It's going to be hard to get the ball through there if you're playing the Giants.

07:36They got a nice defense now on that side of the field.

07:40And you know, bottom line is they're in the same boat as the Yankees.

07:43They need more arms.

07:45Now you got a couple of bats.

07:46You got a couple of really good fielders.

07:48Now you got to go get the pitching to go with it.
