Kay says Cohen is wiling to go $50 million over whatever anyone else offers Juan Soto, and he doesn’t think the Yanks will be near the $660 million for 15 years that Carlos Baerga said was on the table

  1. He probably ends up with the Mets but I find it very hard to believe that if someone matches 660 cohen just throws 710 on the table, even with his endless money.

  2. This is like listening to a fighter saying they’ll “kill” through opponent when the fight begins. Okay.

  3. any mathematicians out there? what’s $50M divided by 15 years? my guess is not a lot cmon over our dominican prince

  4. Sure, but after 5-6 hundred million, does it really matter another 50 million? Like honestly 3.5 million more per season? The dude will make over that in endorsements per year.

    Get a crazy high number, then pick whichever team can cement your legacy as one of the best hitters in the generation/ever, and look to win long term.

    The Mets spent a ton of money a few years ago and traded people away as soon as they underperformed.

    He might view them or the Yankees as the best for long term, or just cash but the Redsox if they can come close on money can offer a really strong looking future team around him.

  5. I find it hard to believe, at that level of spend, $50 million makes a huge difference. Over 15 years that’s what, another 3-4 million a year? Soto WILL break a record for non deferred money, but I have to think more will go into this choice besides “most money” when you’re already talking 650 million

  6. if the contract is close enough, I feel like Soto would take a little less to go the Red Sox over the Mets because for as much as Soto apparently wants to be the guy, its also then a worthwhile assumption to make that he wouldn’t to want to play second fiddle to Judge on a different team in that close proximity ie a Clippers Lakers situation

  7. This is why it isn’t as simple as the Red Sox either get him or they’re cheap, don’t want to win and were only pretending to be interested. If another team is going to insane to get him they have to draw a line somewhere.

  8. We can’t tell what he’s thinking obviously, and his mind may be made up already. But if he truly is undecided and is weighing his options. The Sox need to pull out all the stops for this one. The fan base would be able to accept losing this guy if the Mets lose their minds, but I dont think they would if it comes down to Henry and co cheaping out at the last minute.
