Not that Soto’s age justifies a contract of over $700 million though.
Soto was never my favorite player, but as a Mets fan, I hope he gels with the team and helps them win a championship, even if it will be somewhat cheapened by the fact that they are outspending everyone else in what seems a somewhat reckless way.

Also a Mets fan. Reckless? Steve cohen made $8bn since he bought the Mets at least. The Dodgers added Snell to that team already. The Yankees made the WS with the help of Stanton, who they overpaid and mothballed until he could contribute after many injuries. Those two made the WS. What do the Mets do, let them get all of the top players and wait five years to build the farm system better? They will do that too, and be competitive for years to come. They have been outspent for decades while having poor ownership. It’s their time. Let’s see if it helps!
