Been thinking about this rant for quite a while. Now that Soto is the latest to walk for a colossal contract, now it seems appropriate. Couple of things:
Perhaps Soto should have consulted with Cano, another who walked away from being the toast of the Big Apple. Sure he got a lot of money. Didn't win any World Series rings in Seattle though. But if all you care about is money, who cares?
The Yankees have 27 World Series championships, and yes, the last one was quite a few years ago now. But the thing is, none of these wannabe pretenders is going to catch the Yankees in my lifetime. And maybe if The Boss was still running the Yankees' show, things would be different. Maybe Soto would still be a Yankee. Who knows? And maybe I will eat these words, but I seriously doubt the Mets will win a World Series anytime soon. They just dropped a realistic chance to buy a World Series with Soto's contract. Who can they afford to bring in around him? They already have to have a sponsor name for their ballpark.
