Stupid ****ing Boras… Him and Bregman looking for 11 yr, $350 M deal.

Players gotta learn that Boras ain't the only good(?) agent out there. Pick another one, get your money.

If the Mets don't get him, please let this happen

I've been against long contracts because I hate the idea someone being paid huge money at the back end of their career and then they're just clogging up a roster spot because of what they're paid, but I'll worry about that in ten years. Give Soto whatever he wants and bring him to Queens

Agreed. Well, not everything he wants. Love the offense. Everything else is meh. However, I do understand why they're going for it.

Nick Martinez accepts Reds Qualifying Offer

This shocks me. I can't believe no team would give him 2 years. Maybe the scouts know something I don't know.

Matt Chapman and Alex Bregman are about as comparable (age, position, profile, WAR, both Boras clients) as it gets. Chapman ended up with a total of 7 years, 168 M from the Giants (and the last 6/151 required a show-me season in 2024 first). If I was a Bregman suitor, I'd love for Boras to explain why Bregman is worth over double what Chapman got. I'd also invite Chapman himself and a MLBPA official to listen in.

Which is funny, because the Red Sox also believe they've got a great chance.

Nobody knows until the ink is on the paper.

Soto supposedly looking for a 12-14 year deal at 45m a season.

Good luck Mets. Enjoy Bobby Bonilla Day 2.0 when you're paying Soto deferred payments until 2075.

Re: 2024-2025 Hot Stove Thread

Anytime I see a rumor that Soto is likely to sign with, I rule that team out and figure the rumor was leaked to give him leverage with the team he's actually negotiating with.

As good as he finished with the Astros, that still feels like a lot for a 34 year old SP. He could just as easily post his 1st half 2024 numbers in 2025.
