big news overnight it’s Juan stto for mere $765 million going to the Mets Shani 700 million Mike Trout 426 A5 mooki bets 365 Aaron judge 360 Manny Machado 350 Francisco Lindor 341 Fernando tatis 340 Bryce Herer is 330 kids the heck with school go out and play baseball remember when I was told you know by former general manager said you know SoDo is going to get more money than show aotani and I remember having Jeff passen on who does a wonderful job and he goes nah he’s not going to make more I said are you kidding I mean it sounds like he’s going to get $700 million and then all of a sudden I’m watching the price tag and it continues to go up and then all of a sudden it’s like how many years like 15 years 15 years for 76 5 million if I said you can have sh Otani right now or you can have Juan soda is it even a debate now stto is 26 I think he’s four years younger than Otani and I know I sound like the old school guy I would think for that amount of money you got somebody that you were going to go out of your way you’re going to want to watch them you’re going to want to go see them now if I’m a Mets fan I don’t care although you are going to pick up some of with the tab here with Steve Cohen he he’s not taking on all of this I’m going to guess ticket prices concessions everything is going to go up a little bit but if you’re a Mets fan you’re like yeah we’ll take him now need some pitching but you got Juan sto and he’s a guy that you can plug in 40 home runs 120 rbi’s and you know he’ll play decent defense you’re not bringing him in for that I mean he’s really one-dimensional he’s just a great hitter but with Otani I get the unicor I get somebody who’s going to be pitching next year also hitting we saw what he did when he went 50/50 and I get an entire Market I get worldwide with him certainly with the Japanese market and I think they were averaging 15 million people watching the World Series like I get that I get somebody and by all accounts seems likable uh presentable and you’re playing with the Dodgers you’re in Los Angeles but Juan sto when’s the last time you went ju see stto last night and I don’t know if that matters but it does to me if my owner is paying that kind of money what are we getting and I don’t know what you’re getting other than he’s been on what three teams now four this will be his fourth team but he’s got a 15-year deal for $765 million and it’s not deferred he didn’t do the Otani bargain stuff not Scott Boris uh we’d like our money now please okay yes Paul can you make the case though that Steve Cohen the Mets owner is the perfect owner to have he doesn’t care about the finances it appears he’s spending his own money almost maybe too much two years ago remember he had that big lineup and it didn’t work out but he tried but he said he wasn’t going to do that again and then it felt like they went back to just being a regular baseball team and then they played well this year and then all of a sudden it’s like we played really well let’s go back and start spending again billionaires don’t have patience and I’m sure he’s like well I usually buy my way out of things all right here’s a big ticket item and you got him W stto 15 years I may not be alive when this contract’s over whole question possible P question which ends first me or W Met’s career we’ll revisit that uh I don’t think he’ll spend his entire career with the maps just saying I’ve been around a long time no no that’s a that’s an eternity that’s that 15 years what could go wrong and then you have to go well how many how many World Series do they have to win well they have to win one just one you win one Mets fans will be like all right you know what we can ride that one for a little while and you take him away from the Yankees I understand that part of the process as well but you’re still going against the Dodgers in the National League and the Dodgers won’t stop they will continue to spend yes PA you can almost make the case that even if Otani let’s say hypothetically he doesn’t pitch again or doesn’t pitch a lot his hitting is so it’s improving as he gets to 2930 54 homers 310 and all the steals like just is a hitter he’s a better hitter than SoDo yeah I mean he’s the Unicorn there’s no one like him that’s why whatever they were going to pay he was probably going to be worth it and in that market and they just won the World Series now he gets to pitch even if he doesn’t pitch well or maybe he doesn’t pitch after this year maybe they decide to just make him a hitter I’d rather have him as a hitter than I would wotto as a hitter and Otani also gives you 50 stolen bases he’s going to hit you know 45 home runs but the Mets made the Big Splash I don’t think anybody’s surprised here I know that the Red Sox were involved the Red Sox have some real good prospects they’re just not ready to win now I thought that maybe uh the Giants or the Blue Jays would get involved in this and and a lot of times what happens with Scott Boris is you know you’re trying to drum up interest and then sometimes you’ll mention a team even though that team’s probably not going to be in it Dodgers I don’t know how competitive their offer was but as I said when this happened he’d go to the highest bidder that’s exactly what happened
