🕵️‍♂️ Transcript:

all right for a little more perspective we bring in ESPN baseball analyst Eduardo Perez Eduardo first let me get your reaction to the contract itself 765 for 15 and no deferred money what does that say to you it’s impressive you know what it is 51 million aav per year uh Juan sto just eclipsed everything that we even thought that we were talking about this uh hot stove to be able to get that amount of money with no deferral whatsoever he automatically easily becomes their best hitter in the lineup but my goodness juano right now with this 765 million I would say that’s probably over $35 million more than I thought he was going to get and really impressive and really deserves it right there in The Perfect Storm the New York Yankees is going after him he already showed that he can play in Pinstripes you have the Dodgers interested in him as well the Boston Red Sox the only team also north of the border the Toronto Blue Jays in this was a perfect storm perfect season for juano the only thing he missed was a world championship yeah it seemed like so many teams had the monies about how much money how many years and you mentioned if any of that money is going to be deferred whatever he saw from the Mets is what he wanted to sign for so let’s talk about the team aspect of this because if we W go back to this past season for maybe the majority of the Season at least more than half of it uh the Mets were a disappointment based on their preseason expectations they got hot late they made a nice post season run so then you set the expectations for 2025 you mentioned he automatically becomes their best hitter but what does he do to the overall lineup there in New York that would potentially make them one of the favorites in the National League to get to the World Series well look what he did just as a direct impact with Aaron judge it made more pitches in the zone than he had ever seen because of Juan sto’s on base percentage this past year his on base percentage again over 400 to be exact 419 that’s 75 points higher than the highest on base percentage of the New York Met player last year and that was Francisco Lindor and you could even say 90 points higher than everyone else so look that he changes the dynamic of the way that you approach a lineup it is a well balanced lineup where most likely the Mets still have to see what they’re going to do with uh at first base are they going to keep Vientos move them over to first base and then look for a third base or trust in batty and give him an opportunity or are they going to go back to pet Alonzo and and sign him but is there enough money left in New York with Steve Cohen I bet there is all right let’s take it to the other team there in New York the Yankees it’s rare that they get out bid for a player especially a guy they already had on their roster in their Clubhouse this past season what type of void does that leave there in the Bronx it leaves a tremendous void because now we’re going to see again how teams are going to approach Aaron judge without Juan sto how teams are going to approach that lineup without two of the main guys to the two hitter and the three- hole hitter in that lineup the guys that can beat you at any time especially with the discipline that Juan stto has at the plate look New York put in a valiant effort 16 years it’s it’s they’re saying at 16 years $730 million that’s a very good offer yet no one was goingon to outbid Steve Cohen and the New York Yankees are now have to go and plan to plan B and and trust me on this one they did have plan B ready and they should be very aggressive moving forward after missing out on Juan stto yeah that was the big Domino to fall in terms of position players with Juan stto now we see what happens with other players and to your point what the Yankees can do to fortify that lineup now that Juan stto is going from the Bronx over to Queens Eduardo Perez here on Sports in appreciate you [Music] he
