IDK - the last thing Cohen needs to do is to defer somebody's payments.
OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
That is what these guys aren’t getting- if Cohen did the same deferment to Ohtani last year- baseball would have come up with a new Cohen rule. Mist likely a new tax if you go over a certain percentage of salary in deferred penalty.
I wonder if the Yankees were the top team when Matsui was playing and if the Mariner’s were the favorite when Ichiro was playing
Because I think the team that has the most popular Japanese player becomes the most popular team in Japan.
I will defer an opinion on this until we know who the second and third pieces are.
Giving Stearns leeway here. Seems like more than I would have thought for someone with those numbers. They obviously see some upside though.
At face value not impressed by this signing. I know he spent some of the season pitching in the Cincinnati band box but ERA close to 5
Will Sammon reporting that the contract includes a player option for 2026. That makes it less attractive IMO.
We said the same thing about Severino though. In Stearns I trust.
I hear ya and I trust Stearns however my reaction to this signing is “ yikes” !
not a fan of the signing at $17 per year, player friendly. And if I remember correctly- weren't there problems he had dealing with NY media?
And if he is $17 per- where does that put Seve, Manaea? And does the Montas signing indicate that maybe we are close to a Burnes signing?

Why do you guys even bother? Some orgs are just losers. The Mets are one of those no matter what they do.
NY Mets agree to deal with Frankie Montas as they fortify starting rotation, reports say

An interesting discussion of the Soto melodrama. Some divergent opinions, but one clear point of consensus: the Mets are the team to beat.

Soto favorites have emerged, and rumors are flying. Let's discuss
Mets? Yankees? Red Sox? Blue Jays? Mystery team? While many free agents have yet to come off the board, nearly all of the attention is on 26-year-old outfielder Juan Soto, who by this time next week might have signed a new contract. Baseball’s Winter Meetings begin on Monday, Dec. 9,

According to others, Boston is now the team to beat. The word is the Red Sox will offer more than the Mets. IMO, this is a move by Boras to get more money out of the Mets for Soto.An interesting discussion of the Soto melodrama.

It is one of those- you never know...but, Soto is going to also ring up some major off field cash once he has a home for life- I can't see that happening in Toronto and not really that much in Boston either. I also think a fear for him will be if he signs with either of those clubs- do they trade away the rest of their stars like they did with Betts- because Soto is taking all the cash
But I have been wrong many times before- who knows.
Their tax is insane- I want to say almost if not just over 50% - the good news is- you only have to pay that on 81 games...
I agree with DiComo on this - until Soto signs with someone other than the Dodgers, I am not counting the Dodgers out.
The tax issue is that people there pay taxes instead of everything else. Healthcare and many other things are rolled up into your taxes.
I have a counterpart that is in Canada who is over 50% taxes.
And the way sports work- you pay tax instead of what ever city and or state your game is- in this case, 81 game checks will be taxed in Toronto.
Severino to the As, 3 years 67 million
