As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...
I wish they were worth $50 million (plus) a year over 15 years (or whatever it takes to keep Juan Soto in pinstripes forever).
Here are eleven wonderful photos of Juan Soto hitting and such that I chose. Pure joy! (All photos from Getty Images.)

"Scattering The Ashes has all the feels. Paul Russell Semendinger's debut novel taps into every emotion. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll reexamine those relationships that give your life meaning." — Don Burke, writer at The New York Post
"This charming and meticulously researched book will remind you of baseball’s power to change and enrich lives far beyond the diamond."
—Jonathan Eig, New York Times best-selling author of Luckiest Man, Opening Day, and Ali: A Life
"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.
Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."

Soto deserves a blank check give him whatever he wants. He's one of a lifetime generational player in my books. Give him the money!!!
Great Soto Photos.
I especially like the one of Soto's famous "celebration leap" with the third base coach, as he is rounding third after a homer. That has become one of his famous trademarks and mannerisms. Soto started doing that when he was with San Diego, as the answer to his best friend Fernando Tatis Jr's "stutter step" and jump as HE rounded third after a homer.
Also liked the famous "triple outfielder body bump" of Verdugo, Judge, and Soto, at the end of each Yankee victory.
And the famous Soto "bat flip" after he first homers.
OTHER SOTO MANNERISMS:
The "Soto Shuffle", his way of sending a message to the opposing pitcher and the umpire that he will not…
Great hitter. No one is worth that money. What's next, someone getting 100mm a year?
The Yankees will pay Soto but only for 10years just like Judge..... I'd guess something around 55million should get his signature on a new contract!
Soto has been superb
and he is helping to elevate the team that is helping to elevate Soto.
playing with Judge has been very beneficial for Soto and Soto would do well to nurture the relationship
