Soto to the yankees, what an outfield
There is an unspoken thing, we are iron brothers and sisters, we are to support each other and...It is our duty to support our brothers and sisters in the iron game!

surprised no one beat this offer

Face it, you need me. I have far more value ITT (and in life in general) than you ever will. Just say thank you and we can end this.

Great deal, especially if we keep Soto long term.

Whatever they pay him is going to be paying way too much for one player though. I have my doubts he'll be an effective 2-way player for much longer. He's already not pitching next year. Then I can see him maybe pitching his age 30 and 31 seasons before tapering off with that being a good idea.
He's going to end up being a massively overpaid DH for 9 or 10 of the 12 year deal the Dodgers probably give him.

The shortest distance between Los-Angeles and Anaheim is 24.10 mi
The shortest route between Los-Angeles and Anaheim is 26.17 mi (42.11 km) according to the route planner.
The driving time is approx. 34min.
this is a no brainer

This is either fake news or all his talk about wanting to go to a contender is fake news
Would love for him to not go to the Dodgers though.

Braves continuing their run of acquiring bum ass players. U mirin dedication? So far we got:
-Max Stassi
-David Fletcher
-Zach Logue
-Angel Perdomo
-Evan White (traded back out)
-Marco Gonzalez (traded back out)
-Jorge Juan
-Leury Garcia
-PTBNL
-Penn Murfee
-Jackson Stephens
-Tommy Doyle
-Andrew Velasquez
-Ben Bowden
-Grant Holmes
-Luis Liberato
-Luke Williams
-Reynaldo Lopez
-Jackson Kowar (traded back out)
-Aaron Bummer
LMAO at this endless string of minor league signings/tradings with a few subpar bullpen arms mixed in. Happy they traded for Kelenic still but I swear this team makes moves just to make themselves feel like they accomplished something over winter while not actually doing jack sh*t.
For comparison the Dodgers have signed and traded for a grand total of 3 people to this point. The Yankees have doubled that with 6 players, but 3 of those players were Juan Soto, Trent Grisham, and Alex Verdugo. Ya know actual f*cking players.

The economic impact he had on the US economy in 2022 was something like $150 million from ticket sales and merchandise
Keep in mind ticket sales was for both home and away games in this estimate, the away earnings being something Dodgers would not be getting. And a heavy percentage of merchandise sales (like 85-90%) goes to the manufacturer (Majestic and New Era for example), not to the team. Plus you factor in revenue sharing that’s required to take another piece of that away from the Dodgers.
I’m not bothering calculating out what the Dodgers will or won’t make off him cause I don’t care enough, but I think you’re overestimating how much they’ll make by calling this a cheap deal.
I think it’d be generous to say they clear $100 mil off him while paying him $70 mil though.
