Red Sox/MLB 2024 Playoffs: Dodgers win the World Series

What opportunity?

Scott Boras is involved

Zzzzzzzzero.zero

There are a couple of owners without budgets - actually maybe one: Steve Cohen

This is coming down to Mets & Yankees

I’d skip on Soto & sign Burnes

I would rather have a top of the rotation top pitcher then Soto with where they are at

If you look at the specific teams he's meeting with, the signs clearly point to putting pressure on the Yankees to pay up. Red Sox and Blue Jays are there as AL East rivals willing to spend big money, and Mets as the crosstown rival. If you wanted to lean into the emotions of the Steinbrenners, those are the exact teams I'd pick. Yankees fans would throw a fit if Soto went to any of those teams.

I agree with you, but that doesn't mean Boras won't try to use it. He'll use every trick he's got.
