Juan Soto signed a 15-year, $765M deal with the New York Mets last night.
He’ll only see roughly $400M of that after taxes.
If you want Juan Soto to play for your organization, you know what you have to do.
Just outbid everyone else.
He doesn’t care about your team’s legacy.
He doesn’t care about who gives him the best chance to win.
I can respect that when it comes to Juan Soto, you always know exactly stands.
On a gigantic pile of cash.
The best thing about Juan Soto’s contract is that the money is fully guaranteed.
He’s already earned his $765M.
Of course he still has to show up and put on a uniform 162 times per year.
Take 4 or 5 at bats every game.
Maybe even play defense from time to time.
And I suppose the Mets occasionally make the playoffs.
Sometimes he’ll be forced to work into October.
He spent his whole life honing his craft.
Maybe he wants to spend it all on frivolous activities.
Maybe he wants to invest.
Maybe he wants to use his money to build something special.
There’s a whole world outside of baseball.
Names like Biggie, 50 Cent, L.L.
Cool J, Jay-Z, Diddy.
There’s no reason he can’t end up like any of them.
Time and time again we’ve seen athletes make a splash in the rap game.
Shaquille O’Neal’s, ‘Still Can’t Stop the Reign’.
Antonio Brown’s, ‘Pit Not The Palace’.
Arian Foster (but you probably know his as Bobby Feeno), with Watermelon Sunrise.
All timeless classics that prove it’s more than possible to be both a world-class athlete & artist.
Studio time with top producers.
Features from the hottest up and coming young artists.
As a superstar athlete, he already has an enormous fan base.
That’s a captive audience.
For whatever reason, that’s not as common in the MLB.
But that doesn’t mean there’s not a market for it.
But nobody with a name like Juan Soto has thrown their hat into the podcasting ring.
He has the bankroll to make his show the #1 player podcast in the game.
And it could be much more than a podcast.
It could be the start of his own media empire.
He’d hire a full team of people to travel with him city-to-city.
Full time producers & editors to assure he’s putting out a professional product.
Social media managers to verify Soto is participating in all the most viral trends.
Regardless of whether the Mets are winning or losing, the fans will above all appreciate the content.
But crypto is the currency of the future.
Mr. Soto… if you open up Instagram and take a peek in your DM’s… You’ll probably have to sift through the hoards of Yankees fans threatening the lives of your children first.
You have to be careful who your trust.
But if you come across any accounts with a pixilated face avatar.
Rest assured they know what they’re doing.
The Mets will have $JUAN ads on their jerseys and helmets.
Idea #4: Marijuana Industry
The stigma surrounding marijuana is not nearly what it once was.
It’s no longer considered a banned substance by the MLB.
There are so many incredible benefits of marijuana.
It opens up your mind.
It’s a safe pain management alternative to dangerous & addictive opiates.
It lowers blood pressure, helps treat anxiety disorders, improves sleep.
It’s even proven to cure cancer.
It could even improve his performance on the field.
Soto always looks so agitated in the batter’s box.
Constantly glaring at the pitcher and mumbling nonsense to himself.
Think how great of a hitter he could be if he mellowed out a bit.
Being a professional athlete is stressful.
Especially in New York City with $765M worth of expectations on your shoulders.
That’s a lot to deal with.
Opening a chain of recreational Marijuana Soto’s across the city is sound financial investment.
Especially if Soto is willing to put his money where his mouth is and embrace the lifestyle.
That would be insane.
But there are plenty of other ways he can get involved.
UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world.
10 years from now it will have surpassed the NFL as the #1 most watched sport in America.
Dana White assures us of this.
I’m sure Dana would be more than happy to have Juan Soto ringside at an event.
He could introduce him to some fighters.
Get him on The Joe Rogan Experience.
Just a little something to help with cardio and focus.
Something to serve as an outlet for trouble youths.
Maybe he backs a few promising young Dominican fighters.
Helps pull some kids out of the hood.
Juan Soto just seems like an MMA guy.
There are plenty of ways he and UFC could be mutually beneficial to each other.
Just a handful of ideas to consider.
That he spend any time bettering himself outside of work.
Because baseball will end some day.
Cryptocurrency and podcasting are forever.
