2024/25 MLB Offseason Thread: Early parlay and relocation edition

[Krandor]

No deferrals, opt out after 5 years.

Yankees apparently went up to 760

[Mertron]

whenever hal steinbrenner ends up in hell his dad is going to have some words with him

[Mertron]

whatever. steve cohen is going to get busted in a crypto ponzi scheme and they’ll end up trading him to the marlins while still paying 75% of his salary

[Mertron]

i might be bitter

[synistar]

Edit: beaten

[Krandor]

Dude was pulling in a billion a year even while not actually doing anything after getting caught for insider trading.

It would be incredibly hard for him to run out of money

[Outlaw]

Hoooooly shit!

I didn't even know the Mets had that much cash.

Steve Cohen is worth between 16-21 billion (not sure where he's at these days) and has nothing better to do with his money then spend it on the team

[Obsidian]

Just happy it wasn't the Yankees or Dodgers. It was never going to be the Jays.

[Xno Kappa]

Dog shit unserious organization. They’re never getting another penny or second of viewership out of me until Cashman dies a horrendous death very slowly.

[synistar]

Soto to the Mets. 15 years, 765 million.

Sorry Xno

Reported escalator that the Mets can void the opt-out. Adds another $4M/yr for the remaining 10 years to bring it to a $805M/15 year contract.

[Krandor]

So if he plays well enough that he thinks he could get an even better deal after 5 seasons the Mets can slap another 40 mil onto the deal and he stays

[Melena]

I'm reading it as if Soto doesn't opt out, he gets the extra 40 million. That's one hell of a carrot.

[Krandor]

With a bit more details coming out it just really sounds like it was about the money, and no other MLB team can compete with Cohen if he's willing to get stupid

[Melena]

Yeah. From what I read Yankee's were 5 Mil less, + a 16 year instead of 15 year offer.

[Outlaw]

The creed is greed.

Max Fried
Yankees
8 years/218 mil

[Kirin]

Fried to Yankees. 218M for 8 years.

Way too rich for AA's blood, not worth it. Fried is good, but he's going to miss at least a full aggregate year out of the first 4 with blisters or soreness.

Nats won the draft lottery and will pick first.
