As a New York Yankees fan for most of my life, I've tended to regard the New York Mets much as I might my two younger brothers. I sure hope neither of them was watching the other day as the Amazins boned the Bronx Bombers on the Juan Soto signing.
Seven-hundred-and-fifty-six-million ANYTHING is a lot, but when it's American dollars, color me impressed. Take that Aaron Judge, Mike Trout, and Shohei Ohtani.
As Bob Dylan once noted, "Money doesn't talk it swears." But let's face it, it's pretty quiet comparatively speaking in a LOT of Major League Baseball Parks.
I've heard of Selling England by the Pound, and cannot pretend that I'll ever be able to afford a cup of Kopi Luwak, but these are heady days in which we live. And the tarpaulin was rolled upon the winter frost.
