Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto is over. (Mets)

Martino is Yankees and Mets both (as it says in his Twitter bio if you click through. He published a book about the Yankees earlier this year, "The Yankee Way: The Untold Inside Story of the Brian Cashman Era".
Is this in context of Soto stuff? Ed's a prospect guy so I'd think he'd be more relevantly effected by trades.
I'm guessing that is about a possible Crochet deal, but even he has no idea what the insider means there, as he says in another tweet.
Edit: What @simplicio said.

Absolutely no idea - but it came moments after reporters started saying Soto might be resolved tonight... so who knows.
Here's a deal - 15 years, $15M, and JWH gives Soto the Liverpool FC. Win-win for Sox fans. We'd never have anything to complain about.
I like him. He loves baseball and he’s really into it. Not much ego either from what I’ve watched.

800 million is some FU money.

At this point I hope it's true and I hope he takes it. I don't want to see him play out his best years as a Yankee, but even with an "it's not my money" mentality I don't want my team spending that on a fantastic hitter who doesn't pitch, field, or run like an $800M unicorn. Going to the Mets offers short term satisfaction (he's not on the Yankees) and long-term relief (we don't have that contract).
I'll edit this post when the Sox sign him.

If this is correct, then we can wrap up this thread and migrate over to the "after Soto" thread.
I don't see it that way. Pages and Outman haven't exactly been lighting the world on fire out there.
It’s what we always thought from the beginning. Nobody was going to outbid the Mets It has been said for weeks and appears to be very much the case. The hope was he wasn’t all about the money and other factors would win out. $800 million is just insane. What a world.
FSG paid $900 million for a hockey team that’s lost money for most of its existence. They could go to $800 for Soto.
If I was FSG I’d do that right now. First billion dollar player. Deal expires in 2 minutes. Take it or leave it.
I may be reading this wrong, but if you're suggesting that he might sign a minor league deal your reputation is going to take a hit.
Just as a fun reminder…luxury tax likely takes that contract well above $1b.
What is the opportunity cost for a baseball team of $1b?
New stadium?
Investments in medical and analytics staff?
Sign all of your best young players to long-term deals?

I learned today that in order to expedite the comprehensive, state of the then-Century repairs to Notre Dame, it took an astronomical $900M. Or they could have had Juan as a bell-ringer inside the still-smoldering structure.
Edit; to add that they would have no choice but to name him “Quasisoto.”

Cohen is trying to win the top spot in NY, which would make him way more than 800m over 15 or whatever it is he's bidding. It's a smart move.
The numbers bandied about don't mean that much without knowing the deferrals and other elements.
This is awesome. The owners are all loaded and making tons off being in the coolest club on earth. Loosen the purse strings and make it crazy.
I'm pretty sure there are some teams that could be had for that. I mean, for that money we could have Burnes, Fried, and Teoscar.
I'd want an extensive genetic genealogy done to make sure he's not a serial killer.
True, but most fans don't look at that. They'll just see "Mets Land The $800M Man" on the back page of the tabloids
I don't know any more than anyone else on this, but I don't think there will be any deferrals here, same as Yamamoto last year.
