Given Soto’s demands for a contract (Opt out after 3 years) shouldnt more teams be in play. If I were a team like the Pirates, Mariners, Guardians and I felt like i could get Soto for 3 and 180 why wouldnt I do it.
Because there’s a back end that is fully guaranteed if he doesn’t opt out, the contract is likely underwater.
Mark – Opt outs are optional. If the player performs poorly or gets injured, he will not opt out.
Player options benefit the player, not the team. It’s only 3/180 if he’s doing great, the team is stuck with the whole thing if he isn’t. 600+ million into a black hole is enough to kill alot of teams, that’s alot of risk.
I don’t see how Cleveland can trade Naylor since he is an important part of their offence. I definite see a path where Cleveland keeps Naylor for the 2025 season.
He costs money. They don’t spend money.
Nothing is more important to them then not spending money.
He’s gone for the best offer.
if anyone has any predictions on the pirates for 2025, please reply what they are
