Yankees’ Worst Nightmare: Soto to Mets Imminent?
Are the Yankees about to make one of their biggest blunders in franchise history? BT and Sal break down the potential fallout of losing Juan Soto to free agency. Did the Yankees do enough to secure him for the future, or will he end up with a rival like the Mets? From missteps in offseason planning to the looming threat of an absurd bidding war, the guys discuss what it all means for the Bronx Bombers and their fans. Could a post-Soto Yankees team actually build a better roster, or is this just wishful thinking?

The Yankee household name doesnât hold the weight that it once did. âThey are the Yankees!â Not really. If they let him walk, itâll be a sign of the times.
let's face it Cohen has more money then the Yankees so if we lose Soto you have to understand
Dodgers and Phillies are involved so donât touch the money yet !!
How about instead of spending $700 million on one guy; they allocate that money to build a better team
You guys act like itâs your money . If the Mets donât stop spending big because of it then who cares
You guys act like itâs your money . If the Mets donât stop spending big because of it then who cares
If not here the Mets canât let him go to the Phillies n dodgers
soto 12 yr $710, million who care not my money? đđđđđđ
I think Sal may be insane in the brain.
Mets should sign Soto and trade for vlad jr and extend him . Maybe that would be enough to convince Roki here
Biggest nightmare would be an AL East team or Houston, not the Mets. C'mon now.
If the Mets gets soto they canât go cheap the rest of the way . They need continue and spend big otherwise they should spread the money around .
Iâm sorry, man a grown man wearing a hat backwards like a highschooler is not a good look
Next year is Kyle Tucker Bo bichette and vlad Guerrero jr . I want one of Tucker or Guerrero jr
It's only baseball not real life remember that a kids game
Soto is not Ohtani, Yankees made it to the World Series, did the Mets make it, no it was the Dodgersđđđ this is not a worst nightmare for the Yankees. If they donât get him they will drive up the price for the Mets to over spend as they do every year and accomplish nothing
Please stop cutting each other off so much
They got outbid for Aaron Judge!!!! Only the NY media thinks the Yankees are those Yankees. They're not!!!!
Sal is a moron! Invest in a guy who's a so so in the OF and not a team leader. Judge hits homeruns that change the momentum of the ball park. Soto doesn't do that! The Yankees have THE BEST PLAYER!!!
Sorry Judge is not the best player in the last 50 years
Should Soto to the Dodgers even be allowed?
Lindor is the guy.
You can put whoever you want on the Yankees but you cant change the Boone brand of baseball ! and until you change that nothing will change
The Alien will play centerfield.
Honestly if Soto was worth that money the Dodgers would scoop him up and make him an offer he cant refuse !
building the team around one guy is nuts. let him go.
True – Yankees can't afford to lose him if they want to win world series. Mets need him more though because they have to beat the Dodgers in the NLCS next year and they need a star next to Lindor to do that.
Compare Soto and Ohtanis 2024 numbers just not close no way is he worth that contract , no way
NY sports is trash compared to LA. No rings in anything major the last decade. Pathetic!!
Yankees second place đĽ
Not a Yankee fan but if there is a chance Soto is gone and defense was their big struggle why not go after christian walker to play 1st, get someone like Cedric Mullins to play center and as much as I like Jeff McNeil, see if they Mets would bite on a trade. With McNeil you get someone who can play multiple positions and at above average rate as well. Winning without Soto can be done especially if you get the right pieces in place
Soto is not going to the Mets the Mets have too many holes he is going to the yankees or l.a
The rumored Mets offer for Juan Soto is 15 years $660 million dollars which breaks down to $44 per year⌠#MLBB #JuanSoto #yankees #Mets
Soto is a great hitter but he is a liability in the outfield as a defensive playerâŚhe is a terrible outfielder and on the bases where he is a terrible base runner and doesnât steal basesâŚ
He is a DH and do you pay a DH $660 million dollars over 15 years???
Look at the long term deals for Puljos, Stanton, Cabrera, etc, .. Let Cohen overpay for him and get stuck with that contract when Soto is 35 and hitting .220 and fielding even worse than he does now.
Soto is a one tool player he will not get Ohtani moneyâŚSoto is a bad outfielder and base runner who doesnât steal basesâŚHe is basically a DH you can put in the outfield in a pinchâŚOhtani 50 HR/50 SB and he will either be a Starting Pitcher or a CloserâŚOhtani is worth much much more than Soto who is a great hitter but thatâs all he is he offers nothing elseâŚOhtani is worth much much more than SotoâŚSoto will not get Ohtani money nor does Soto deserve Ohtani moneyâŚ
I don't think he would ever win a championship with the Mets but I also think he doesn't care because he already has a ring and now it's about the big bucks for him
Bozo in the hat Trying so Hard to make it seem like soto is replaceable 𤣅. LITTLE BROS OUTBIDDING THOSE BUM YANKEES LMAOđ
couldn't care less. next season the yanks will make the playoffs but not win a title. plenty of teams have won the ws without juan soto.
If Juan Soto didnât get on base in every at bat Judge wouldnât have that many RBIâs. It was 30% of his RBIâs Juan Soto helped judge out a lot
BT really saying Judge is the best player heâs ever seen. đđđ bro acting like Griffey, Bonds, Trout, ARod and Pujols never existed in his lifetime
Heâs not leaving the Mets donât have judge
