https://reurl.cc/b3GlEX Mets owner Steve Cohen and his top baseball man, David Stearns, held a secret, l ast-minute lunch meeting with Juan Soto, Scott Boras and others in Soto’s inner circle Friday at Cohen’s home in Boca Raton, Fla. It was a very pleasant secon d get-together, one that solidified Cohen’s resolve to try to win the prize of the winter. 而在周五，Cohen也和Soto在佛州的房子秘密开会 And yet, Cohen also came away from that high-powered confab convinced Soto was p reparing to remain in pinstripes. 但当时Cohen感觉他是想要回洋基的 Cohen’s first thought, considering this meeting followed by a few weeks the one at Cohen’s Beverly Hills mansion: “We can’t keep meeting like this. I’m run ning out of houses.” 所以当下他觉得不能再这样一直会面 毕竟他也快没其他房子了XD Many times over the weekend, he told folks he felt sure they were running second , almost right up until the time they finished first. 整个周末，Cohen多次对身边的人说 他相信自己一直处於第二名的位置 是几乎直到最後一刻才翻盘拿下第一 He kept bidding, anyway. He was so convinced he was heading for bridesmaid terri tory that he joked to friends and confidants about whether there was prize money for second place. 但他就是不断出价 也一度确信自己即将成为「伴郎」而非「新郎」 还开玩笑的问朋友说：第二名有奖金吗？ “There was a lot of emotion and a lot of ups and down, not knowing where you st ood,” Cohen said. 这其中充满了情感波动，然後很多起伏，你完全不知道自己处在什麽位置 He may be accused of overpaying, and the deal is historic and remarkable. But th e Blue Jays were also believed to be at $760 million, so it’s not like he blew away the field. The Mets were actually thought to be running second to the Jays at $720 million into the weekend, and when the Yankees bumped their bid from $702M to $712M, the gap wasn’t exactly significant. 实际上在进入周末时，梅子是真的被认为开价输给蓝鸟、然後跟洋基很近 梅子 720M 洋基 702M-721M Cohen offered a $100M signing bonus at one point, but Soto’s camp was more inte rested in the $50M average annual value. 而Cohen也提议过直接给100M签约金 但Soto阵营是更想要均薪50M Cohen went to $750M late, then to the winning $765M 所以Cohen最後就一路加码到750M以上了 --
