Juan Soto will get a $500 million contract in free agency

The reality of the situation is that in a couple years time, when he does become a free agent, he's going to get a contract that's far going to eclipse what the Nationals offered. It's going to be $500 million. It's going to be the Dodgers or the A's—he's going to get paid a shitload of money.

Juan Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, far exceeding the $500 million prediction. The take was correct that Soto would get a massive contract.

Juan Soto is Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds combined

I'm gonna miss him. [Juan Soto] is 23. He's Ted Williams. He might be better than Ted Williams. He's Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds combined.

While Soto is an elite player, comparing a 23-year-old to the combined stats of Ruth and Bonds is purely subjective hyperbole.

The Washington Nationals were never going to re-sign Juan Soto

The Nationals were never going to re-sign him. So you've got a lot... the Padres aren't going to re-sign him. The Yankees are, the Dodgers are the only two teams that are going to afford Juan Soto.

The Nationals did fail to sign him, and the Padres eventually traded him to the Yankees, confirming he was too expensive for mid-market teams.

The Chicago Cubs look like idiots for not trading Wilson Contreras at the deadline

The Cubs who didn't trade Wilson Contreras... he's gonna walk for a huge bag at the end of the year and then the Cubs will be like, oh, we got a compensatory pick. That's way worse. They literally dangled this guy for an entire month, they won't give him an extension and now they don't trade him and they look like idiots.

Contreras did eventually sign with the rival Cardinals in the offseason, and the Cubs only received a compensatory pick, confirming Big Cat's frustration was justified.

Spain is entering a period of absolute soccer dominance and will win the next Euro.

They won the Euro two years ago. They won the World Cup. They're probably gonna win the Euro in two years. They're just different generation dominating soccer.

Euro 2028 has not happened yet.

Goals scored in the World Cup third-place game should not count toward the Golden Boot.

I also had one bone to pick. The third place game, which is hilarious that they still do this... The fact that those goals count for the Golden Boot is such bullshit. That's stupid. That should not count. Like that's not a real game.

This is a subjective opinion about tournament rules.

LeBron James will announce his free agency decision tonight.

I'm fully expecting him to announce at 9:00 PM tonight. Yep. Like shit like that where it's like, I went to a movie on Thursday night. I was like, oh, LeBron's gonna fucking announce during the movie. He's, he's now fucking us... I think that's what's gonna happen. I think he's gonna decide tonight.

Depends on exactly when LeBron actually announced his decision following this episode.
