This is literally 10x the entire Tampa Rays payroll.

Amazin’

Absurd.

Will Cohen care if he wins a world series or two in that time span?

I'll sign with the Mets for a mere $76.5M

thank GOD dodgers didnt sign him

Better them getting the money than the billionaire owners pocketing it

I loved having Juan play in DC, but that's just insane money to pay 1 player. The move will sell tickets and merchandise, but it won't result in championships.

LGM

I mean, I was in front of this!

gross

As an American I would also like to know. 👀

Now let’s see if Jerry sells the team 🧐 #selltheteam

I'm a Yankee fan. But I gotta keep it 💯 They got beat up and bullied after school by the Dodgers. And got P Diddied by the Mets.. Can anyone say baby oil?🤷🏾‍♂️

He signed for 5 million more than what the Yankees offered him. He got more years with the Mets offer. Still if he took that little bit more fu$% him. But the Yankees better star re evaluating themselves. Until they reinvent how they spend money the Mets and Dodgers are gonna laugh at them.

I sure hope the Red Sox don't take this as a sign to take another year off

Yankees fans in shambles lmaooooooo #LFGM

Hey, that Bonilla contract is almost off the books, so let's create another contract monster!

Yeah that’s kinda crazy 🤔

15 years 🤨

Last night’s SNL skit was right!

Now Cora has an excuse for another not so good season.

That kind of money instantly makes him Trump’s new cabinet member

Cmon man. Really? The dude is a club house cancer. Likely 2-3 years older than he claims to be.

Insanity..... Also, LFGGGGGGGGGM

#TaxTheRich!

What’s the salary of the entire organization? Where does all this money migrate from ?

So now the Mets have to pay both Juan Soto and Bobby Bonilla next year. 💸

Great deal!💯 but that is stupid amount of money 💰

IMO, the weakness in the example. I wouldn’t say Soto is in top 2, maybe even not top 3. He’s been on 2 stacked teams but this is first time where he is THE star. So this is his chance to show he really is the one.

That's insane!

that’ll get him a nice 2 bedder in manhattan

That is an insane amount of money

That's too much. He's good but great hitter but I don't feel he's a two way threat like say Mookie Bets is

Welp... The Jays had no shot, but that price is insanity. Hopefully this wasn't their only plan like they did last year. He'll make more in a year than some team's payroll.

15 years is crazy

The value it brings to society is nominal, entertainment is a dime a dozen

Indeed

Has won a title more recently than 25 teams in the league.

Wow…

Soto will pay the same rate (37%) on every dollar over $600k as someone who makes $601k a year, and he’ll make $51 million a year. Trump said the last time America was “great” was when JFK was president. The highest marginal tax back than was 91%, not 37%. Tax the rich.

I’m with you, just think it’s disingenuous to say they’ll pay the same in taxes

15 years? Oh we gonna have Bobby Bonilla 2.0.

Seems like a lot but after taxes …

Actually, scratch that. It's not even the biggest deal in MLB history. Ohtani's Dodgers contract is $700M over 10 years. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but 700M/10 = $70M/year. Soto's is $765M over 15 years, which is $51M/year. 70M > 51M

Is that going to be enough?

Wow. Thats a lot of cheese.
