Blue Jays Fall Short in Juan Soto Sweepstakes: How Close Did They Get?
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2024 10:21 pm
So, the Blue Jays were REALLY in on Soto, huh? Under $700 million is still a staggering amount. Makes you wonder how close they truly were. Were they just posturing, or did the Mets simply blow everyone out of the water?
$765 million… FIFTEEN years. Is Soto truly worth resetting the market like this? Is this good for baseball? I'm curious to hear what Mets fans think. Are you thrilled, or terrified by this commitment?
The Jays missing out on Soto AND Ohtani two years in a row… that has to sting. Atkins talks about being “nimble and agile” with the remaining payroll, but is that enough? What moves SHOULD the Jays prioritize now? Is another big swing even possible, or should they focus on depth?
Schneider's comments about Soto's questions are interesting. It sounds like Soto did his homework. What does it say about the Jays that they couldn’t close the deal? Was it purely about money, or were there other factors at play?
What do you think this means for Vlad Jr’s future in Toronto? Does missing out on his friend make him more likely to leave? How does this impact the Jays' chances in the AL East? Let's discuss.
