If Soto chooses 10 more million bucks for the Muts then .....

If we lose him for 10 million

As a Giants fan, im not even mad. Operating under the rules, so I cant blame them. What I will say is this:

-this is shameless purchasing of titles

-fans of 29 teams are rooting for catastrophic injuries to the Dodgers stars, as they think thats the only way any other team can compete....which is terrible for the game.

-the way the Dodgers are operating is going to be turning a lot of people off the sport.

28 other teams.
Yankees fans better have NOTHING to say.

Wade Boggs, Clemens, CC Sabathia, Giambi, Reggie Jackson, Catfish, THE BABE, Mussina, Pettite, ARod, effing Dave Winfield, David Cone, Mark Teixeira, MFing Johnny Damon helped the Yankees get a championship.
Ssshhhhiiiiii...

And all those guys together don't equal what they're paying Ohtani

EYE remember when that was the same language about ARod.

 

[HIM]

a lineup of Ohtani-Betts-Soto-Freeman would not need a righty to “balance things out.”

Imo they would. They also have hole at SS defensively, so would love to see them make a huge offer for Bobby Witt jr

Honestly, those Yankee vibes aren't even close to this level. It's Yankee vibes on steroids, human growth hormones, horse tranquilizers, and some on.

inflation something something



also, EYE dont want Soto
we've already fit our former padre quota ...unless HS Kim wants to play for free

EYE remember when that was the same language about ARod.

Arod was different. He was a rescue, so there, another move that shows the Yanks compassion.

 

[g-time]

Yanks also drafted Pettite and brought him up through their system lol

How quickly we forget.
'Evil Empire'

They fielded a team with Giambi, Ventura, Posada, Jeter, Hideki, Mondesi, and Bernie Williams... with Pettite, Wells, Clemens, Mussina, and of course Mariano on the mound.

Lost the WS, but still.
Fast forward to 2009.
Teixeira, ARod, Posada, Jeter, Hideki, Johnny Damon, and Nick Swisher.

Stop this recency bias revisionist history right meow.

 

[g-time]

lol keep putting names up there that were actually from the Yanks system

Also, Mondesi and at the end of his career Ventura aren’t exactly equivalent to those names of the Dodgers. Matsui was a question mark considering his age when coming over.

Stop this recency bias revisionist history right meow.

Agreed, lets talk about today and the Dodgers ruining baseball worse than the Yanks ever did.

Were they on the payroll?
But I already covered that, anyways.
Going all the way back to the Bambino, Wade Boggs, Clemens, CC Sabathia, Giambi, Reggie Jackson & Catfish, Mussina, Pettite, ARod, effing Dave Winfield, David Cone, Mark Teixeira, MFing Johnny Damon... and bringing us to the very present with a WS appearance thanks to Soto & Cole.

The other 29 teams have to do this for DECADES before we can have this 'Worst than the Evil Empire' conversation in good faith.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
