He isn't worth the money.

@@vivienneduong6541 he is, only if he can be his 2018-2021 self

I'm sure they messed with his launch angle, instead of letting a .300+ hitter hit .300+

Sounds Like A Great Hitting Coach Talking!

That's exactly what I was about to say. You can tell just from those clips that he's collapsing his back leg. There's no power coming through the zone and he's rolling over the pitches.

lived for decades in SD and can confirm

As a Mets fan I’m glad this didn’t happen to us. We wouldn’t ever hear the end of it. Happening to the padres, I hardly hear any mention of it.

Changers franchise : hold my beer

Lol

Not sure that statement makes any sense. , Occurrence?

Yep Nats dodged a bullet

I don't know sometimes I think coaches try to "improve" players because they want to say oh they're doing better than they did in the other team because of us so sadly he could of been doing better in Nats but hey never know we all seen the so called best hitter become nobodies after some type of big change happens

Yea, I'm so grateful I made over a G selling off his RCs.

Yea but u guys got nobody good for him. Tbh cj abarams was the headliner and he just looks awful

Add Rendon to that story

The prospects are not performing either. The only ones that are good is Mackenzie gore and he just had a bad outing. The padres are going to start rebuilding the farm and they started it off by getting the best catching prospect in the last 10-15 years. Also, jackson merrill is a top 20 prospect and will replace Ha Seong Kim when Kim’s contract ends.

​@@OGTirpleOG 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@franciscoverjan7397 whats so funny? having machado, xander, and tatis for 10+ years? Lol

No, prospects are prospects, you have no idea what those players will be, Im sure they would do it again.

it wasnt his choice to leave...lmao

F that greedy mofo! He’s overrated! Without the umps keep cheating for him with the strike and ball calls he would become just average! I hope he remains sucky!

Once they get paid they tend to fall off a cliff. Keep them broke and keep them hungry is my motto

Soto is currently on a fringe HOF trajectory, as opposed to the possible inner circle one we thought he was capable of. If he wants to reset his path, he needs to go to a team with favorable park factors to lefties. Personally, I think it would be best for him to sack off the Padres and sign with either the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, or more interestingly the Orioles and Reds. Going to the Yankees, Dodgers, or Astros would make him a villain, but possibly an iconic one. The Reds make sense as a landing spot if they were willing to open up their checkbook and have the capacity to kick off a dynasty in a weak division. The young pitching core is coming along, they have a farm system carrying potential impact bats, and it's 50% better than league average for lefties towards hitting nukes. If the owner can pull his dick out of his ass, there could be something brewing there. Baltimore is the true wildcard here for me. I could see them actually making a run at Soto in FA. #1 farm system in baseball for the past few years and some of those guys are starting to make an impact. If they get any semblance of a pulse from their pitchers, whether that be development, trades, or free agency, they are a tasty midmarket option. I would advise Soto to keep any eye on how the baby birds develop and what moves the team makes over the next 2 seasons.

Nope Soto can’t blame anyone but himself . He should have signed the big deal.. I don’t like him

pretty damn small sample size to be saying he screwed himself over. the kid is young and is on a new team for the first time. cut him some slack and give him time

I think what he needs to realize is the padres didn’t give up 5 top 100 prospects for him to just try to walk. They traded for him so that he can swing the bat, but when he does swing the bat he’s trying to pull the ball now instead of hit it the other way which worked on the nationals because he had no protection in the lineup with the nationals, but now it’s different he’s on a team full of studs, I think pitchers are starting to realize just grow strikes and he won’t swing, so if he realizes that all this has happened, and just swing at he strikes he gets, he can go back to being a stud, he’s shown it in the past, the walks will come because his discipline is just too good, he just needs to start swinging the bat and trying to hit it to the opposite field

aint all about money man. he’ll still make probably $100M+ in his career. he didn’t want to be stuck losing for the next decade. it would take the joy out of the game

@@scottmccoy432 and how would you know that? Washington won a championship not too long ago. This is not the NBA where 2 teams won the majority of the championships, In MLB any teams got a shot just like football.

@@Light23K hell yeah man I completely agree. It's funny when people make that comment when Soto has literally already gotten a ring from Washington 🤣🤣🤣 most teams are cyclical, We can't all be the Yankees

Lol Juan Soto isn't Cody Belinger. There's a reason he came up so young. He's in a slump. It happens. He'll bounce back. He didn't just come out of nowhere, and he isn't just going to fall off a cliff.

@@thisguy8106 Idk man I work in the league and I've seen this kind of mechanical breakdown with a lot of guys, granted, none of them as talented as Soto. Milt Thompson wanted to work with him outside mlb I still think he should have done it. Praying he bounces back though he's been great for the game.

I still think he is a baseball enigma and will be an all time player. still super young and he will fix things up. imagine batting .175 but having a .366 OBP (him this year.)

@@murishere Anthony Volpe hitting lower with a Higher OBP lol

@@inbredhorses no? volpe is batting higher at .204 and has a lower obp at .338

@@murishere wow he’s hitting a whopping .194 !!

it wouldve been idiotic for him to accept that idiotic deal. Basic understanding of finance would tell u that

@@robesterd8132 $440 million is all the math anyone would need. Basically when 15 years is up he gets $440 million. SIMPLE. Now he would be lucky to get half that for his whole career. Look at ow his is playing so who's the fool now?

@@Light23K Lol hes almost guaranteed to get half that for his career. By the end of next year he will have made over 75M in career earnings. He will at worst get a 10 year 300 mill contract in 2 years, and that's at worst. It wouldve been foolish would take 30 million per year over 15 years with how great he is.

@@robesterd8132 There are no guarantees in life. Look at how many players who are expected to be great but are not.

​@@robesterd8132 generational wealth is generational wealth, you're not guaranteed to make that much amount of money when you turn it down once.

The Braves would disagree

Kyle Schwarber has entered the chat.

Honestly I think most players would take a pay cut, if it meant winning more championships. There is money but also sports people are naturally competitive(especially at the very top), and sitting around on a bad team sucks.

That’s what I thought was the case. He didn’t want to be stuck in Trout’s boat, essentially being stuck on a team in rebuild mode for the majority of his career by taking a mega contract

Yep! Fire sale! Even the owners are talking about selling. 😮 🙄🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ The WS team had some years on it already, but there was potential in the pipeline. Ditching Harper the year before was probably the best move install though.

I'm gonna be the one to say that it doesn't matter. You can't refuse that offer regardless. It I were Soto, I would have signed that contract and put pressure on the front office to re-construct the roster, and if they don't do it, I'd request a trade. It wouldn't affect the contract either.

@@unlimitedpower4101 Requesting a trade with a contract like that is risky at best. Most teams wouldn’t have enough room on their payroll, and even if they did, their future would be crippled for a while because of how much money they would have to pay. The Washington Nationals organization had showed no ability or desire to maintain a winning team, so signing and applying pressure on the front office would only backfire

lol "At some point" dude has been Ted Williams the majority of his career.

Over 15 years is terrible if youre a top 5 player

Imagine signing that and set for life? Literally no pressure to play well and still get paid $440 million after 15 years. Now Soto is facing immense pressure to perform. What a stupid guy.

@@blblbluh4196 Is he top 5 now? EXACTLY. Don't think everything will always goes good for you because life throws you curveballs. Maybe you have a freak injury that you never got over? maybe your in a slump like he is now? Remember Ken Griffey Jr who wants to play on his dad's team(Reds) and got hurt over and over and over again and became a shell of himself?

@@Light23K That sounds easy. Some people don't want it easy. Dude loves to compete and wants to win. Hosmer already pulled that string after a chip and is hated by the whole city now. Character >

Less walking, more HITTING.

The pitch clock doesn't help. He can't exactly do the soto slide all the time

300 plus games of “in a funk”?

He's batting .234 over his past 162 games

Reason hader sucked for a bit was cause he had a kid and prob didn’t have his head fully in the game. I have to think that had a boatload to do with his cold streak

@@jonathanguttenberg4788 I feel as if the reason he started regressing is because his racist tweets from high school were found and it took him a long time to finally start bouncing back + he's only a three-pitch pitcher who relies heavily on his velocity

@@aljon5947 bruh u literally just said the same thing I did in more words

When you have Scott Boras as an agent, there’s greed and he tells his clients to not sign any deal until free agency to maximize dollars.

If he stays the same, it'll be interesting to see the offers he gets in FA.. I'm sure a team will offer him the world regardless of his stagnation.

LFGSD

Chop on we’ll see you tonight

I was telling my mom we just got one of the best hitters in a long time she must think I’m delusional

@@jonny-dp2qr um he just hit an absolute dinger

He goes up to the plate expecting to walk more than actually get a hit.

I don't feel sorry for someone who turn down that kind of money. Had he signed that deal he would have won already, Why bet on yourself? You only bet when you are broke and wants to win big but if someone gives you $440 million and you turn it down so you could win more? Greed is not good.

@@Light23K yea he’s slow

F that greedy mofo! He’s overrated! Without the umps keep cheating for him with the strike and ball calls he would become just average! I hope he remains sucky!

Agreed. I know a lot of people don't like advanced analytics, but it's hard to argue against the fact he's hit 32 balls over 95 mph this season and only has 16 hits total... that's extremely unlucky. So far this season, it's the highest Hard-Hit% of his career at an insane 56.1% of the time. In other words, over half the time (he puts the ball in play), he's hitting a rocket. The one knock on him is his swing-and-miss rate on balls outside the strike zone has gone way up. It's also interesting that the number of Cutters he sees has doubled and the number of Sinkers he sees has been cut in half. That sounds like right-handed pitchers are trying to force the ball in on his hands, causing him to pull more, and hitting a lot of ground-ball outs to the right side.

Yeah, I'm sure not many speculators here have watched most games and his at bats. The stats show and eyes don't deceive, he still has incredible discipline most of the time. I'd also like to see Melvin try him behind Machado instead of in front.

Yeah his expected xOPS isn't really much lower than it was he's just been getting unlucky

Damn I forgot about the LA trade. Both Trea and Max moved on

Too early to tell, but it's still not a good start for sure for the roster they have

To many Ego's

All of you guys were like “we Got Bogarts it’s over”😭😭😭

Money can buy wins not championships but this Padres team could be the opposite lol

You sound like an old man yelling at clouds. It seems just as likely to me that he needs his ego now more than ever. Giving up that contract could have put pressures on him that he didn't anticipate, pressures that don't at all inspire the kind of competitiveness he effortlessly wielded before focus shifted to money.

@@tectomes No he sounds like someone who has probably watched a lot of athletes in his lifetime and seen most all of them and their egos get humbled by their respective games. Proverbs 16:18 said it best. "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall."
