Not yet, I know.
I should be thinking about the Super Bowl next weekend.
Or the Daytona 500 the following weekend.
But when February comes, I can’t help but think …
… pitchers and catchers report to camps in a couple of weeks, full squads soon after. And I’ll get a few games on TV.

I know what you mean, YOTB. Our Subway Series games this year should be really something. And of course last year we came oh-so-close to that second true Subway Series. Last thought: Darn Dodgers!

There’s going to be lots of booing when Soto plays in Yankee stadium that’s for sure. It will most likely go down as one of the worst contracts anyway. Dodgers defense was just better and they played good at the right time. Bellinger is an upgrade defensively and offensively than Verdugo. Goldschmidt is the wild card on this recent acquisition. He was the NL MVP in 2022, not that long ago. Bellinger, Goldschmidt, Judge, all have MVP-like season, that would be really something. They are all capable players who can be MVP any time of the year. Defensively, the Yanks are an infielder away from being elite.
The Mets have really stagnated themselves by signing Juan Soto. First off, there isn’t a lot of ROI with him. He isn’t Ohtani who double MLB viewership. There’s no guarantee Soto can replicate the season he had last year hitting alongside Judge. He has Alonso, but Alonso ain’t Judge.

That being said, I do believe that the Yankees and the Mets will do just fine, with both teams making the playoffs in 2025. I rooted for Soto when he was with the Yankees, but I also didn’t want the Yankees to sign him for that much because his value is tied to his performance alone with no other incentives like marketability. Soto is terrible defensively. He’s slow. He’s a good hitter, but that’s it, thus if he hits anything less than .300 and less than 50 homers, it’s an overpay.

I’m hoping our players stay healthy, YOTB. That has so much to do with it. This will be my first season watching Soto 162 games. We’ll see how quickly I’m griping about his defense and calling for him to DH instead. We don’t have one of those we consider full-time anyway. As a Mets fan, I’m accustomed to starting a season with “if” being a big word.

It would definitely be pretty wild if it ends up Mets Yankees in the WS. It’s a possibility that has high odds of transpiring.
