[Headache in a Suitcase]

we have one hour until the HOT FUCKING STOVE gets heated up

Hector Gomez saying people close to Soto think it would be surprising if he doesn't end up with the Mets.

i could use a little pick me up, Uncle Stevie. Get 'er done.

A few things about Juan Soto. I don't think he's worth 50 mil a year, but the market is dictating that's his worth. I'd never begrudge any player from seeking as much money as possible, though. He was great with Judge and he should be great with Lindor. If he's in NYC, there will be ample endorsement opportunities for him. Naturally, I want him to stay a Yankee because there's nothing like being a Yankee. (Even though they haven't won in 15 years) But, if he brings the Mets a World Series victory, he'll be a hero forever and never have to pay for a lemon ice at The Lemon Ice King of Corona.

"No idea," Steinbrenner said when asked if he was confident the team would re-sign Soto. "We'll be in the mix. I'll leave it at that."

"I could say that about a couple other owners too," Steinbrenner said when asked about Cohen's spending power. "Or corporations, for that matter, that represent the ownership group. So, I mean, of course it's a concern."

Hal's getting nervous.

I think the Yankees were under the impression that, more than likely, 2024 would be his only season with the team. They won 12 more games and made it the World Series. Not too shabby. I think the Yankees should gut the team and plug in either some free agents, young talent or make some trades. They have Judge in the outfield somewhere and Jazz at 2nd or 3rd. The rest are all question marks. They have two shitty hitting catchers who can't throw out base stealers, so even they should go.

There has never been a moment in my life where the Mets and Yankees went head to head on a free agent and most people expect the Mets to come out on top.

Strange days

 

[MrPryck2U]

I can remember 2 years ago thinking Judge was gonna sign elsewhere, but then that 11th hour deal happened. I'm a winner either way because I think Soto will sign with a NY team. lol! I'd be happy for Mets fans if he signed with them. Of course, I'd be ecstatic if he stayed in The Bronx. And imagine if Stanton could survive a season with minimal injury. The dude could actually be a beast.

Gotta give it to the Dodgers. Fitting that Snell contract under the salary cap is impressive, to say the least.

 

[MrPryck2U]

There is no salary cap. They're buying the championship. The Yankees have tried that several times. It only worked 15 years ago.
