Monday Bird Droppings: The Juan Soto domino has fallen

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

To the two or three Orioles fans who were holding out hope that the O’s would sign Juan Soto, I hate to disappoint you. The slugger has reached his decision, agreeing late last night with the New York Mets on a whopping 15-year, $765 million deal, the largest in MLB history in both years and total money.

Soto’s choice of team was pretty much a best-case scenario for the Orioles, as his other primary suitors included three AL East rivals in the Yankees, Red Sox, and Blue Jays.
