Mets twitter seem to be split on the idea of selling the farm for Soto.

I say hell yeah, the guy is a generational talent and he's only 23? Just fucking do it.

Washington is requesting 4-5 top prospects for Soto. That's a ton to part with. Think they will have to dial down their demands some for Soto to get it done, although he's a great player. Still don't feel he's on the Judge, Alvarez superstar level however.

I just hope the Lerners reach an agreement to sell the team soon. It's holding this entire thing up.

After so many failures to retain their star talent - I was hoping Soto would be the exception. Rizzo - for our eternal gratitude bringing a title to DC - failed to handle the Harper/Rendon situations appropriately, if they knew a year or two out resigning was unlikely to happen they should've traded them and restocked the farm system - which obviously has to happen here if we can't afford Soto.

I still hope they resign Soto - they need a solid foundation for the rebuild and without him we're gonna have a very hard time attracting quality talent to sign with this team.

Anyways I'm taking the long route of saying I hope the Lerners sell soon - obviously they don't want to pony up the cash it would take to retain Soto. But if we offer 500+ and Soto still turns us down? Sell to the highest bidder.

I just want to see Soto be that homegrown HOF-quality player who spends his career with the Nats.

Really sux to see what’s happened to the Nats. Strasburg and Corbin…these guys look done.

My god, Stasburg is 35 million until 2027.

Corbin definitely. Hard to be mad at Stras - we wouldn't have a title without him. He's just had horrible luck since then - honestly he should retire too but I would actually prefer if they could shed his contract as well.

Empire State Building looking good last night

Yankees are a bunch of useless dickfucks. They are now below the Astros on my 2022 hate scale. I hope any other team besides them wins the AL pennant.

No more subway series for me.

Fuck them.

Braves get to within .5 games then blink and back down 3.

So it’s the Yankees fault the Braves dropped 2 of 3 to the Phillies?

It's the Yankees fault they lost 2 of 2 to the Mets. And I resent them for it.

Juan Soto AND Josh Bell traded to the Padres...basically for a whole lot of nothing. Nats are officially the worst team in the league now. 2019 World Series is long gone now.

I hate to say it but it's embarrassing. Traded away our last link to winning the Series 3 years ago.

Sure some of those guys might be great someday, but all they are right now is potential. And I'm not sure I have faith in the Nats to develop that potential.

The glory days are gone, that's for sure.

It's fucking embarrassing that the Lerners have let all of our young talent walk - the only one they managed to retain was Strasburg, who signed at a discount and then renegotiated after the Series win and his contract has been killing us ever since.

What an embarrassment of an organization

[Osborn Warp]

So the trade went through.

I mean take your pick...you could argue that the DC professional sports teams truly have the worst run organizations in the whole country!
