Blitzer Report once again predicted the ransom and destination of major 2024-2025 FA on the 21st (Korea time). It is unexpected. Juan Soto (26), the biggest fish, said he will stay with the New York Yankees for $569 million. It is different from the market price that the industry sees.메이저사이트

New York Mets "billionaire" owner Steve Cohen called for $660 million in his first meeting with Soto, and there are even reports that the Mets can pay more than $5,000 more than other teams. In this situation, it does not seem realistic to sit down with the Yankees on a $500 million contract.

However, Bleacher Report said, "Over the past few months, the Soto contract's forecast has become completely ridiculous. Some predicted that Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers) would make more than 700 million dollars without any delay in payment," adding, "Most reasonable people with sources offer AAV of 41 million dollars to 44 million dollars for more than 10 years. You can spend 43.77 million dollars for 13 years."

This means that the existing outlook of the U.S. media is too bubble. It seems true that Soto's market price has been raised from $500 million to around $600 million, but it is not known how many clubs will actually bet more than $600 million on Soto.

Blitzer Report said, "500 million dollars. Even if it's 600 million dollars, or even 700 million dollars, young Soto will soon become quite rich. Regardless of the Mets' recent offer of a $606 million contract, it feels inevitable that he will remain with the Yankees."

This suggests that Soto may be worth more than money. In fact, Soto has never really opened his mouth about the FA. During the season, he avoided saying that he wanted to talk after the season, and when the FA market opened, he became silent. Instead, it stands out that he meets with Scott Boras in person. However, there were only clichéd reactions such as "I was touched, it was impressive." It is highly likely that he hid his true feelings.

Blitzer Report said, "Soto didn't even make good use of Yankee Stadium's short outfield. In fact, he hit long balls on the road (0.580) better than at home (0.559) in the 2024 season. Unless the Yankees underestimate him terribly, it's hard to believe that he will leave a great game in front of Aaron Judge."

In an article that predicted the starting lineup for the opening game of the 2025 season, Blitzer Report predicted that Soto would protect the Yankees' No. 2 right field.
