We were never in

There was no way Shatkins was going to pay Soto 700 million when they won’t pay their own guy 300 million. This BS talk about the Jays being a dark horse was a media/leverage play by Boras. We were never in this lol

We're not getting Soto. There's maybe a 1% chance he comes here. So just give him a ridiculous offer like 13 years a 70M just to raise the bidding and screw the Yankees and Dodgers. Meanwhile, have our real number 1 option ready to sign. lol

Just like with Ohtani, the Sota money was from a different budget. If we don't land Soto that money is not available to spread to others.

Nobody protected from the rule 5. Didn't really think there would be. Most of the players that might have been in consideration had pretty bad years
