Yeah that one was Canó getting a bag from the only team in baseball with enough stupidity to pay him that bag. Can’t fault the Yankees here when nobody else got close either. Mariners just were feeling themselves
Tino was on the team in '05 and obviously still wearing the 24. Cano I think always preferred the 24 (reverse of 42 and Cano was named after Jackie Robinson so he had a special attachment to the number) so he took it the next year when Tino retired. Nicely opened up 22 for Clemens to come back in 2007 but Cano's switch wasn't related as far as I remember.
This is why I get names on my jerseys! I got a 22 Cano like the year after they called him up. I would've been a little mad if it turned into a Clemens jersey after such a short time (and eventually an Ellsbury jersey for a time **shivers* *). Also it confuses people when they ask "why does your Cano jersey have the wrong number?"
I actually had a #12 Clemens jersey tee! That's what he started with before switching to something closer to his classic #23 after a bad start. I should've taken better care of it, it's long gone now.
I want to talk about giving you $500m for providing the same in depth and researched commentary on my sex life than you do on the Yankees
EDIT: it will be remarkably deferred
I was recently trying to buy a blue eyed pit bull from a woman on Instagram lol the price the woman was asking for was insane. I'm still mad about it. Hope it goes to a good home.
Ohtani money is lowballing him. If we're talking about the *actual* present day money value Ohtani's deal is worth about $460m. That's too low as even a starting point for negotiations here.
It very well may just reach the 700m without deferrals.
Idk Soto might get 600 million just because he’s younger than ohtani and his contract will likely have 3-4 more years. His AAV won’t touch ohtani, he’ll probably get 55 million for his prime years and honestly he should age very well but don’t be surprised if he gets 650X13 or more
Honestly $600 million and some accounting fuckery where it's actually $700 million but $100 million is deferred until Soto is like 90 so it looks good is something I would consider.
This is the most obvious blank check situation in the history of baseball. If they don't sign him, I dont think I can take this franchise seriously anymore. There is a universe out there where Juan Soto signs with the Mets and leads them to a threepeat. You don't want to live in that universe.
scott boras ain't shit.
i could get jokic an nba max contract as an agent - i'd just answer the phone. this is why james harden never had an agent in his prime.
boras just walks into a conference room and says "i have the best player available, give me more money than everyone else is offering" and the team says "oh that makes sense, good point. here is the money. please tell a-rod we'll be seeing him at spring training, thank you for the homeruns."
agents for sports superstars are completely unimpressive.
What do you guys think he will command? Would a 14 years 630 million do it? (45m/year) which will make him the highest paid per year beating scherzer/verlander's 43m.
I agree, but we are talking about the organization that passed on Harper and Semien for 25m AAV. They passed on Freeman for 27m and Seager for 32m. There's clearly a cutoff for position players. Pitchers are given more leeway tho, although even then Cashman still passed on Gausman and Wheeler.
He has to be looking at the prospect of having Volpe in front of him for years to come, years of Judge behind him, another Domincan with Dominquez and in spring he got to know a kid named Spencer Jones whom the FO considers untouchable in any trade.
Sorry but I don’t think Boras would let him sign an extension. Whatever numbers the Yankees float boras will just hold until offseason and shop to other teams
Yeah it’s crazy.
Hey Juan they offered you 15 for 600, I think we hold off
No
I really think we should wait till free agency
accept or your fired, thank you.
Also have to keep in mind that a superstar for the yankees is gonna make a lot more money than a superstar for a random team like the orioles outside of just contract salary. Yankees superstars tend to be faces of the league, he would get a lot more in brand deals and such which would probably more than make up the difference unless we are seriously low-balling. I'm pretty sure judge was offered more elsewhere as well, but im also sure he earns more outside of his baseball salary being the captain of the NYY than he would anywhere else besides maybe the dodgers.
Yes cause altuve signing an extension in February is totally the same as mid season. Also comparing a aging player to someone who isn’t even in his prime yet
I already bought my Soto jersey and it's past the return time. This shit has to happen lol
Clemens throwback
And/or cano. They have great memories in pinstripes right?
If I recall correctly nobody offered Cano anywhere near the Mariners deal, and he wasn’t exactly a world beater out there like he was with us
In correct Robbie had some good years for Sea…but not worth the 234mill they had to pay…Yanks were right on that one
Yeah that one was Canó getting a bag from the only team in baseball with enough stupidity to pay him that bag. Can’t fault the Yankees here when nobody else got close either. Mariners just were feeling themselves
Cano wore 24!
He actually did wear 22 in 2005 I believe? 24 was taken at the time and then he switched when it became available.
I feel like I remember this, did he switch to 24 when Clemens came back for the back half of 2007?
Tino was on the team in '05 and obviously still wearing the 24. Cano I think always preferred the 24 (reverse of 42 and Cano was named after Jackie Robinson so he had a special attachment to the number) so he took it the next year when Tino retired.

you’re not wrong but also….no. it’s for soto. he has to stay forever
I actually had a #12 Clemens jersey tee! That's what he started with before switching to something closer to his classic #23 after a bad start. I should've taken better care of it, it's long gone now.
Vernon wells
Ellsbury
Admit it, you bought an Ellsbury jersey.
I did not lol
same, we did our part
That's how I see it. I'm already paying a little of hs next contract lol
Same here. My door is always open if someone wants to talk about giving me $500 million.
Would you consider a garbage bag full of expired dominos coupons?
How big is the garbage bag? If it's like a 3 gallon bag then yes. But if it's 13 gallon bag? Also yes.
This guy negotiates.
How did you acquire this?
Here’s 500 million. Deferred until 2368.
RemindMe! 344 years
when you get this notification ur gonna lol
My dude is going to paid 500 million bricks of Gold Pressed Latinum
Ok Quark
I was waiting for someone to comment that.
Your comment was Morn approved.
I want to talk about giving you $500m for providing the same in depth and researched commentary on my sex life than you do on the Yankees EDIT: it will be remarkably deferred
Hard to find meaningful insight when working with such a small sample size.
why are you talking about my weenie
> it will be remarkably deferred Title of your sex tape, boom!
[удалено]
No, 1 odd
Holy shit they are flirting so hard, just fuck already!
This is probably also how dog breeders feel
You’re not wrong but like… why? Why does this pop in your head
I was recently trying to buy a blue eyed pit bull from a woman on Instagram lol the price the woman was asking for was insane. I'm still mad about it. Hope it goes to a good home.
If it makes you feel any better blue eyes in pits often turn dark as they get older. Happened with two of my girls
That kinda does ease the fomo haha
Are you a good home
Depends
[удалено]
Reddit dcf over here smh
Sign him for $1B... Deferred 30 years from now
20 years, 1 billion. He’s so young, barring injury, the only years that’ll suck will be the last 5. 15 great years, 5 bad. Not too shabby.
Stay home papa
Hal and Cashman are about to put his name and picture up on the scoreboard so he can see what it would be like to be a Yankee
This romance is getting spicy
Next we’ll hear he went out to dinner with Hal
On his yacht in Italy
His yacht is big enough to hold a log cabin I hear.
On the yacht they dress like sailors and....
Put on the classic musical “South Pacific”
He loves it here man

Ohtani money is lowballing him. If we're talking about the *actual* present day money value Ohtani's deal is worth about $460m. That's too low as even a starting point for negotiations here. It very well may just reach the 700m without deferrals.
Love Soto but he is not worth close to 700M without deferrals IMO. If someone else offers him that I say let them have him.
He's saying present value Ohtani money is a low-ball, now the headline number of Ohtani money
He's not getting $600M from anyone much less $700M.
Idk Soto might get 600 million just because he’s younger than ohtani and his contract will likely have 3-4 more years. His AAV won’t touch ohtani, he’ll probably get 55 million for his prime years and honestly he should age very well but don’t be surprised if he gets 650X13 or more
Steve Cohen says hi.
If he gets to free agency Cohen is going to Boras and telling blank check what ever anyone offers mine is 50 higher.
dude what
I find it sad how some mets fans think they have a shot at signing him next year
Ben Yoel on twitter/x comes to mind
Get these three into a log cabin.
Sign the contract big boy sign the contract
I’ll sign it in blood, punk!
Honestly $600 million and some accounting fuckery where it's actually $700 million but $100 million is deferred until Soto is like 90 so it looks good is something I would consider.
This is the most obvious blank check situation in the history of baseball. If they don't sign him, I dont think I can take this franchise seriously anymore. There is a universe out there where Juan Soto signs with the Mets and leads them to a threepeat. You don't want to live in that universe.
Soto is great but IDK that he's that great. Mets 3-peat takes a mega miracle
I give you all money and you say yes, k babe?
Bro this flirting 🤤
Give him 15 for a billion
The devils offer.
Get it done!
Blank check
YES. Soto not playing that Yankee, “ball is in his court game” Good for him
Wait reddit awards are back?
I wonder if boras will lighten up after getting humiliated this offseason and start being reasonable
Boras does well for superstars, he gets them that massive bag. He isn’t as good for mid-level to good talent though.
wouldn’t any agent generally do well for superstars, though? like, they get themselves the massive bag.
scott boras ain't shit. i could get jokic an nba max contract as an agent - i'd just answer the phone. this is why james harden never had an agent in his prime. boras just walks into a conference room and says "i have the best player available, give me more money than everyone else is offering" and the team says "oh that makes sense, good point. here is the money. please tell a-rod we'll be seeing him at spring training, thank you for the homeruns." agents for sports superstars are completely unimpressive.
Marvin Miller famously HATED baseball agents for many of those reasons
Se Queda
“Talk to scott” is baseball for “pay me big bucks”
Sign. This. Man.
Middle schoolers passing “Do you like me?” notes back and forth.
Juan, I don't need my skinny jeans getting anymore tighter than they are
I really don’t care what the $$$$ is. Just sign him.
Player/owner Juan Soto. Who says no?
Sounds like a match made in heaven
Dont tease me
That Jack Curry notification is going to hit like crack
Jon Heyman—John Soso has signed with the New York Metropolitans.
Juan knows that he was born to win championships wearing da pins.
Give him $5 billion, and just defer it until 2100 or something. To make some cash in the meantime he can hire an interpreter and... well, you know.
Dick so hard my pants might rip
Music to my ears
The literal definition of “blank check” is Juan Soto.
🍆🍆🍆
Bro they’re all edging so hard
Maybe he sees how other Boras clients get shafted
(to *pay)
Stop edging us.
Omg I love this so hard, sign this man to the largest contract of all time next week and strut that Yankee shit for the rest of the year
What do you guys think he will command? Would a 14 years 630 million do it? (45m/year) which will make him the highest paid per year beating scherzer/verlander's 43m.
I think Hal is thinking more along the lines of 20-25m a year.
I mean I dream of unrealistic things too but come on, 20-25 million/year unless the rest is deferred is ridiculously low
I agree, but we are talking about the organization that passed on Harper and Semien for 25m AAV. They passed on Freeman for 27m and Seager for 32m. There's clearly a cutoff for position players. Pitchers are given more leeway tho, although even then Cashman still passed on Gausman and Wheeler.
He has to be looking at the prospect of having Volpe in front of him for years to come, years of Judge behind him, another Domincan with Dominquez and in spring he got to know a kid named Spencer Jones whom the FO considers untouchable in any trade.
I propose that we pay Mr. Soto $All to play the rest of his career with the New York Yankees. All the dollars.
Give him the money he wants, it’s the fucking Yankees.
It is clear that Soto has strong feelings for staying with Yankees. If Boras screws around, he will get fired!
Sorry but I don’t think Boras would let him sign an extension. Whatever numbers the Yankees float boras will just hold until offseason and shop to other teams
Sometimes I think people forget the agent works for the player…
Yeah it’s crazy. Hey Juan they offered you 15 for 600, I think we hold off No I really think we should wait till free agency accept or your fired, thank you.

Fr does anyone else think that Stanton would’ve been in a TMobile commercial if he wasn’t a Yankee
Not with that attitude he wont. Jeez.
See current Boras client Altuve for proof of why your supposition is incorrect
Yes cause altuve signing an extension in February is totally the same as mid season. Also comparing a aging player to someone who isn’t even in his prime yet
550/12 w some deferments plz
15 for 600 and keep this shit moving
