C-Mac & C-Lo: All Juan Soto reports are 'nonsense,' and he's likely going to be a Met or a Yankee
There have been a ton of reports on Twitter/X claiming to have inside info that the Boston Red Sox will be announcing they’ve signed Juan Soto to a huge contract very soon.
Chris McMonigle says they are full of something, but it ain’t the truth.
“All of these reports are nonsense, 100 percent, and I still think he’s going to be a Yankee or a Met, no doubt about it,” C-Mac said Friday. “There was a report over the weekend that Hal Steinbrenner has upped his offer, which is part of the process, but what, you’re gonna give him a lowball offer to start?”
Seriously, and especially the Yankees, whose checkbook is one of their biggest assets.
“I would think, especially if the Yankees don’t think they can get into a bidding war, just throw the best offer out there right away,” C-Mac said. “Say this is as far as you’re going, shock and awe with the best offer – which to me, the bare minimum they have to be willing to go is 15 years, $705 million.”
“It’s asinine, and I can’t warp my head around it, but I understand it’s going to happen,” C-Lo chimed in. “But all the reports about how the meeting went well and all? Come on, man. Wake me the next time someone reports a player had a meeting with a team and it was terrible.”
C-Mac thinks any report like this is mostly just a jab at the Yankees, especially if it’s the Mets, Red Sox, or Blue Jays.
“It feels like he wants to be a Yankee, probably, but he needs to get the money, so you have to scare the Yankees and try to get them to fear that their bitter rivals are in,” McMonigle said. “We know the Mets are a legit threat, but the Red Sox? That would be a disaster if he does end up there. I think the Yankees absolutely need him, and I don’t want to hear Plan B until Plan A is gone.”
“To me, if it’s not the Mets or Yankees, and he goes elsewhere, it’d be the biggest surprise since Cano went to the Mariners,” was C-Lo’s response, with C-Mac adding the only other team that scares him that much is Philadelphia.
