Mama, teach your left-handed sons to swing a baseball bat.
That’s the beauty of DH.
They’re not expecting him to be elite at 41. They’re paying for those years because if they don’t, someone else will. How do people still not understand this?
Wonder who hell end that contract with
Valid reaction
Yeah they will put him at 1st base when he’s 41.
Cano got cut. Cohen isn’t scared to release aging stars who can’t perform.
this is Bobby Bonilla without the deferred money
He’s not wrong, that contract is an untimely Soto injury away from being a decade or more long albatross, time will tell I guess
The mets will set up a soto booth for him when he gets to the age of 38 to sell $765.00 hot dogs with a signed baseball
Tbh i dont think Soto is worth $800 million even if he shat gold after every homerun.
The ONLY reason Ohtani is worth near that is the millions he brings in on merch sales, TV deals, tickets, etc. Ohtani alone wraps team store lines out of the stadium. Homie has a whole nation buying up anything his name is on. Soto doesn’t have that.
he’s got elite bat-to-ball skills and a high walk rate. mets aren’t paying him to be an elite defender for the next 15 years, they’re banking on him becoming a DH in his mid 30s who can hit the ball into his 40s like Pujols
What’s that pfp 
So insane. Bro got so much money, yanks had to match and give him that 15 year contract….
If he’s worth it or not will more depend on how high the tax threshold is in 10-15 years from now more than how good he is at 41
Honestly not even sure how the Mets are worth that much money.
Dad’s a casual.
Ohtani is a better hitter and a better base runner. On top of that he’s an elite pitcher and his contract essentially gave the dodgers domination over the Japanese market, Soto isn’t as good of a hitter or base runner plus his fielding skills aren’t great and he doesn’t come with that market domination.
That’s not what they expect. They expect him to produce $200m of onfield value next hear, $100m of onfield value for a few more years, then millions of dollars in legacy/advertising revenues in his final few years. It’s not rocket science here
When I see left hand throw and right hand batters this comes to mind “ he’s adopted “ lol

This signing bodes well for Kerry Carpenter
