Exceptional Overpay: Juan Soto Signs with the Mets for $765M; Jeff Passan & Eduardo Pérez React

Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Jeff Passan and Buster react to Juan Soto signing a 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets. The guys discuss the power of Steve Cohen’s bank account, Cohen becoming what the other owners feared, the Yankees missing out on Soto, Shohei Ohtani’s contract looking like a bargain, if Alex Bregman could make it as a Yankee, the litmus test for Boston and feeling bad for Toronto. Then, Eduardo Pérez stops by to talk about Cohen securing his Picasso in right field, how Soto and Lindor will mesh, and how Soto’s departure could impact Aaron Judge in the Yankee lineup. Plus, Eduardo on Dave “The Cobra” Parker and Dick Allen’s selection for the Hall of Fame. Later, Buster rifles through more signings, including additions to the Orioles.
