Part 2/8:
There was a time when the narrative centered around the Mets being the front-runners for Soto’s services. However, during an appearance on the Michael K Show, Heyman revised his stance, indicating that if he had to pick a team, it would now be the Yankees. This shift raises eyebrows, especially as both teams are prepared to make substantial offers that could redefine Soto's market value.
The looming question is whether Soto is truly worth such an astronomical sum. Andrew Friedman, the general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, articulated an intriguing perspective: while an overpayment may be excessive, Soto is certainly a player deserving of a hefty contract. His offensive accolades speak for themselves season after season.
