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.
