yeah Bobby Witts deal is actually a bargain when you think about it...I think he is a couple of years younger than Soto and its for less years as well
Mahomes's contract may also be the way the QB market is trending in the NFL

I just checked homie, and Soto still has an OPS of .816
The Sabermetrics guys say anything above .700 is good and anything below .700 is bad. .700 is Replacement Level or otherwise average—not exactly sure I have to ask ChatGPT if it’s average or replacement or if they mean the same thing, lol, I’ll get back to you.
But anyway, .814 for Soto is pretty much around Bobby Witt territory so though the average is down a bit I think you’re still okay for now I wouldn’t worry, but you know your guy better than I do

Okay so ChatGPT says .700 is average MLB player so .814 for Soto is still top baller ⚾️ wit a gold flee collar status 😎
(And then Replacement level is down to .650 which means the guy could be swapped out for someone down in TripleAAA or off the bench)
TraceOneInfinite:
Soto at .814
Witt at .880
Mikael Garcia breakout year for Royals at .880
Barry Bonds was at over .1000 some seasons
So there is still reason to expect Soto can perform at an even higher level but it’s still okay for now

yeah our expectations are through the roof for Soto
he had an OPS of .989 last year with the Yankees and .945 for his career
I will say even though he hasn't hit for average and his power is down he still gets on base at a clip of .374 which isn't that far off his career mark of .414
Duck Duck Doggy:
Nice test for Kershaw today let’s see if he can get through this stacked Mets line up without giving up a bunch of runs
