worth 31 million and avoids
arbitration.
Is there any talk that perhaps
they work out a long term deal
before he hits free agency?
Yeah, I don't see that.
I mean, we know that he had
turned down a 440 million, I
believe it was with the Nats for
15 years a while back.
I mean, this is Scott Boris
client.
He's now, you know, months away
from free agency.
So, uh generally those kind of
players, uh even lesser players
than Juan Soto is one of the
certainly one of the best five
hitters in baseball.
Uh They don't sign uh at this
stage, I mean, you could give it
a shot, but I don't know what
the success rate would be.
I would say probably less than
1%.
So I think they can look forward
to him being a free agent and
they certainly would be expected
to try to keep him in New York
once the year is over.
Ok.
Uh, fairly quickly about, I
don't know, 1012 miles away at
Citi Field, Pete Alonso will be
there with a agreement worth a
reported 20.5 million avoiding
arbitration.
So, same thing.
What's his future with the Mets
short or long?
Same thing.
I, he's going to be a free agent
and they'll talk to him after
the year.
I mean, just like with aaron and
Judge and a great slugger over
10 or 12 miles to the north at
Yankee Stadium.
They went to the end of the year
, they ended up getting it done
at $360 million.
Uh, I do think the Mets have a
very good chance to keep Alonzo
long term and they do want to
keep him.
I do believe that obviously
there'll be other, he's
interested.
We know the Cubs like Alonso
very much.
I'm sure a lot of teams do since
he came into the league in 2018
, he's hit more home runs than
anybody.
So I, I do believe the Mets will
make an effort, but it's gonna
be at the end of the season, uh
, just as the Yankees effort
with SOTO will be at the end of
the season, john Haman all over
this.
