10 sats \ 5 replies \ @grayruby 4 Dec 2024 \ on: Soto Nearing Decision Where Will He Go?! Stacker_Sports
I think it will be the Mets. The Red Sox haven’t been players in the big FAs for years now. They got Story and re-signed Devers but weren’t in at all on Judge or Ohtani.
I just have a feeling with how deep the roots go for the Boston org that if Soto doesn't go all out on the Money Mets that Boston would fit esp. when I was reading about how he was a huge fan growing up and if Ortiz can make a pitch to him to play there.... hard to beat that!

Don't disagree but I would be surprised if the current Red Sox management gave him a 600M contract. Doesn't seem to be their strategy. I think they are building a pretty interesting team. They need pitching more than hitting but on the flip side if you can get one of the top 5 hitters in the game you probably go for it

I dont know if you have seen the same rumors I have that all 5 teams in the running have offered at least $600 mil so the floor was set there... I thought the contract would only run 12 maybe 13 years as he would go for the high AAV but I am reading they are all 15 year contracts which blows my mind

All these massive contracts will end up being disasters. 15 years?

Yeah 15! Its through I want to say age 41 or 42 for him which the age isn't the worst thing but the length is what threw me because its so wild
