The Landscape of New York Baseball
Reflecting on how a prominent Yankee player like Soto would have made an unexpected move to the Mets two decades ago, Joe pointed out the changing dynamics in New York baseball. With George Steinbrenner at the helm, such a prospect would have been deemed impossible. However, Cohen's willingness to go after big names signifies a new era for the Mets, giving fans a rare opportunity to see a star player in Queens who could potentially redefine the franchise.
Bingo emphasized that Soto has the chance to be celebrated as the greatest Met of all time, surpassing even the franchise greats. For a player to step onto the stage with such pressure and expectations is thrilling and underscores the importance of this move for both the player and the franchise.
