No lie, that at-bat probably added 50-100 mil on the contract

yeah I still can't believe how hard these fans bring that up as a "dominating factor" when making a decision to join them or another team. These players are younger than you now! They don't care about that s***. They want the best for them for the foreseeable future

Bidding against Cohen is f***ing impossible, he probably would've gone to a billion if that's what was required especially if the other side was the Yankees

Never saw anyone seriously refer to that beyond the dressing, he had the best season of his career & was instantly loved by fans & was in the f***ing World Series, how awful a situation lol

Boras

of course no one who’s all business is turning down a contract worth like a half a dozen small nations economy combined

s*** crazy lol

You can add in every single external factor you just mentioned, but if the Yankees are offering 765,000,000 and the Mets are offering 765,000,000.01, a Boras client is signing with the Mets 10 times out of 10

dude was probably liking judge hate on his burner actt once they went 3 up

hard to understate how much Cohen needed this signing to happen

not sure how many other superstars will hit the market in the next couple of year

ultimately its on him still, snell deferred to go to the dodgers, his priority was maybe staying in NY but he didn’t give a f*** if it was with the Yankees clearly lol

Yeah after coming in as the bottomless pockets guy and having already struck out a few times, there was no way he was missing out on this

Soto's free agency at that age is a once an era situation anyway, I don't think anyone can or should fault him for going above and beyond

If you want any chance of competing with the Dodgers over the next ~5 years this was the only way to open that door

He would've been with the Yankees if Hal was the highest bidder. Boras actually did something he doesn't normally do, he kept the Yankees informed the entire time and kept giving them chances to adjust their bid

really never seen a player give it to a owner like this, but the way he would talk in interviews about signing even when the vibes were immaculate should have been an indication lol

yea he wants to be Dodgers east, can’t do that with just one MVP candidate in the lineup

this was the first real shot he had at one too. Ohtani never interested, Judge they withheld from going after.

It always had to be Soto, which is why Mets fans have been so confident about it for a while

man lol

My team has been burned by Boras so many times, and the guys he forced out liked and cared about Washington a hell of a lot more than Soto seemed to care about the Yankees

Hilarious that we offered him 440 million 3 years ago and Boras flat out said it wasn't even a competitive offer

Credit where it's due, he was right

And even Ohtani was 29 when he hit the open market, Judge was like 30?

Soto at 26 is a whole different animal

Them niggas talmbout some "Yankees history" lol yeah keyword history. As in the past. Issa new day buddy boy

In for the NL East bloodbath next season
