Decent chatter that Soto straight up takes the offer with the most money, which per sources is apparently north of the 14/640 we were seeing being thrown around. MLB network was speculating that as of now Toronto is the team with the highest offer out there.
Definitely the type of deal where I sign it and ask questions later. Personally I think he ends up in Boston. I'm willing to believe the Jays are in the mix but thats as far as I go after Shoheigate.

I think the Red Sox can make an aggressive, good faith effort to sign Soto... and still not get him. The five finalists are all financial juggernauts, each with their own positives and negatives. It shouldn't be too much of a shock if he signs with any of them.
The team's reaction to losing out on Soto will be key. They can still have a really good off-season without him.

K ratio is still elite but that’s totally surprising to me.
In my head I imagine they just offer it because they know nobody is actually gonna sign there

From a baseball perspective it’s a no-brainer, him and Tanner Scott are basically the same guy at this point and Scott is gonna get like 4/60. They needed a lefty reliever and they got one of the better ones they could have gotten
It’s on a human level that this move sucks. But I guess we still celebrate Manny in these parts so
…if he helps on the field everything will be overlooked by most

I don't like it
I don't. I make it a point to remind everyone that Manny Ramirez is not just some goofy, loveable character. He is a terrible human being.It’s on a human level that this move sucks. But I guess we still celebrate Manny in these parts so

Cannot wait to see Aroldis give up a bottom of the 9th homerun in the playoffs

They always were in theory. Owned by one of the largest corporations in Canada.

It’s his swing-and-miss capability off the field that concerns me.

MLB's moral line in the sand has more twists and turns in it than a cheap garden hose.

The thing that annoys me the most. If this were the Dodgers and they had a choice between Aroldis at a cheaper amount or Scott for more, theyd go Scott. Scott would provide the same as Aroldis and longer term without the baggage.
