The Mets should trade Soto to the Yankees or whoever and get the albatross of a contract off their backs. And I'm saying this because as a lifelong Yankee hater I'm a Mets fan!

LOL, if the Yankees or anybody else wanted that contract, they would have given him that contract to begin with. Forget now giving assets to inherit that contract. He's on the Mets, until he can no longer play baseball, or money becomes meaningless to the Oligarchs who will own baseball teams over the next 15 years.

Also, you're cherry picking stats. He's starting to close in on his usual .400+ OBP and is on pace for a 6+ WAR season...which is exactly what the Mets paid for.

I'm not going to get into the logistics of giving out a 15 year / 3/4+ Billion dollar contract...but I'm sure the guy who owns the team (and is worth about 20 times more then Hal Steinbrenner), and likely makes more then Soto's full contract in a single year...doesn't really need you to count nickels and cents for him.
