Baseball Tonight with Buster Olney

Jesse Rogers, David Schoenfield and Buster discuss what (other than money) motivated Juan Soto to sign with the Mets, Soto's opportunity to be the greatest Met ever, whether there was friction between Soto and other Yankee players, the Red Sox trading for Garrett Crochet, Alex Bregman's success at Fenway Park, the Orioles remaining oddly quiet, and where Cody Bellinger, Kyle Tucker and Bregman will begin the 2025 season.

Hembo and Buster discuss why Hembo thinks Juan Soto is not overpaid, why he doesn’t love the Yankees signing Max Fried, the Blue Jays trading for Andres Gimenez, the Cubs bizarrely fielding offers for Saya Suzuki and Cody Bellinger, and likely destinations for Nolan Arenado. Then, Jorge Castillo talks about the Yankees’ starting rotation, who could be traded from that rotation, a need at first base, the Mets looking for a starting pitcher, and why the Red Sox may have to go all-in on Corbin Burnes.

Alden Gonzalez and Buster discuss whether the Astros will sign Alex Bregman or Kyle Tucker long term, the Yankees and Red Sox are competing for the same guys over the next few weeks, and the Blue Jays’ championship window fizzling.

Jeff Passan and Buster react to Juan Soto signing a 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets. The guys discuss the power of Steve Cohen’s bank account, Cohen becoming what the other owners feared, the Yankees missing out on Soto, Shohei Ohtani’s contract looking like a bargain, if Alex Bregman could make it as a Yankee, the litmus test for Boston and feeling bad for Toronto. Then, Eduardo Pérez stops by to talk about Cohen securing his Picasso in right field, how Soto and Lindor will mesh, and how Soto’s departure could impact Aaron Judge in the Yankee lineup. Plus, Eduardo on Dave “The Cobra” Parker and Dick Allen’s selection for the Hall of Fame. Later, Buster rifles through more signings, including additions to the Orioles.
