Juan Soto Trolls Us As The Offers Pile Up!
According to NJ.com’s Yankees beat writer Randy Miller, Soto is officially the hottest commodity in free agency. He’s got five teams throwing money at him and the Phils are interested: the Yankees, Blue Jays, Mets, Red Sox, Phillies, and Dodgers. Yeah, the usual suspects.
But here’s the kicker: Soto wants a 15-year deal worth more than the record $700 million Shohei Ohtani got last year from the Dodgers. Oh, and Soto isn’t here for any of that deferred money nonsense that Ohtani agreed to. Nope, Soto wants his cash upfront, like a man who knows his worth—and honestly, respect.
Let’s be real. While the Yankees are hopefully putting together a competitive offer, you know who else has their checkbooks wide open? Steve Cohen and the Mets. That guy is like the Monopoly Man on steroids. Reports suggest Cohen isn’t playing games:
“We’re going to find out,” Cohen said. “It’s either going to be yes or no, there’s no in-between, time will tell.”
Translation: Cohen is ready to back the Brinks truck up to Soto’s house, and Hal Steinbrenner better wake up before the Yankees get lapped by the Mets. Could you imagine? The Mets getting Soto while we re-sign someone like Jake Bauers for “depth”? No offense Jake.
Negotiations with Soto are entering their next phase, with offers getting “increasingly more serious” over the coming week. The timing? The Winter Meetings in Dallas from Dec. 9-12. If the Yankees don’t step up and close this deal by then, fans might riot. Or worse, start wearing Mets hats. I kid, I kid, I can’t stand the Mets… they’re just the Mets.
Oh, and the Red Sox? Those guys just upped their offer to Soto on Tuesday, which means Boston is very much in play. Imagine Soto slugging homers over the Green Monster while Yankees fans are stuck debating the wisdom of another “high upside” bargain signing. It’s sickening.
Meanwhile, Soto is out here trolling us all. On Tuesday, he posted a video on Instagram, standing at a podium and making it look like he was about to announce his new team.

Hal Steinbrenner has a chance to prove he’s cut from the same cloth. Land Soto, and suddenly the Yankees are back to being the Evil Empire, feared and respected across baseball. Let him slip away to the Mets or the Red Sox, and it’s another black mark on an organization that’s already been too cautious for too long.
The Yankees need Soto. Not just because he’s 26 years old, a generational talent, and the missing piece to a lineup desperate for star power. But because failing to get him sends a clear message to the rest of the league: the Yankees aren’t who they used to be.
Hal, if you’re reading Bleeding Yankee Blue (and you should be), remember this: You’re not just signing a player—you’re saving the Yankees’ soul. Don’t let Cohen, the Red Sox, or those smug Dodgers beat you to the punch. Pull the trigger, make the deal, and let’s bring Soto to the Bronx. Anything less is unacceptable.
If we don’t get him? Don’t be surprised if fans start chanting “SELL THE TEAM” in April. You’ve been warned.
