Vlad wants Soto money.
Toronto better trade him.
He's not going to stay no matter what, and he is definitely not worth Soto money.

He won’t get Soto money.. but he’ll get 500+

He better learn to throw a curveball or win the triple crown if he wants Soto money

Sucks that it's happening to Pete, but nobody told him to bomb after publicly turning down a fair contract. All he had to do was be, Pete Alonso, average but he couldn't pull that off.

I still hope he comes back because he is the best Mets homegrown batter since Wright, but he's gonna have to do it at Stearns price

Some content creators are whispering a 3 year deal with a player opt out after the first, in order for him to bring up his value. While I'm cool with that, everyone's saying that the pressure of a walk year is why he performed so badly. It would technically be the same thing.

I like that idea, but I don't think he can mentally process walk year pressures. Maybe 2 high AAV and an opt out after 3. It'll hopefully take some of the pressure off.

Possibly the angels

Somebody sell Bregman to me. Because he seems like a good player.. but not a 250+ million dollar guy. What am I not seeing here?

Too much smoke with the Mets being interested.

Gold glove defense behind a pitching staff full of ground ball pitchers who can still hit 30. I'm not terribly thrilled at the idea, but in Stearns we trust.

Gold glove defense behind a pitching staff full of ground ball pitchers who can still hit 30. I'm not terribly thrilled at the idea, but in Stearns we trust.

Things to like:

Gold glove defense at 3rd.
Rarely strikes out.
4.1 WAR .. i'm assuming that's good? I'm semi anti analytics


Things not to like:

Boras's asking price.
Hasn't hit 30 HR's since 2019. (I couldn't believe it, with as much as he's talked about)
Only driven in 100+ twice in his career.. lastly did it in 2019.
Doesn't necessarily walk much.


I don't know breh.
