The Put it in the Books Show '24-'25 Offseason Special #1: Soto Mania and Mets on the Move

It’s a brand-new offseason, and *The Put it in the Books Show* is back with an episode that Mets fans won’t want to miss. Join Farace, Rodriguez, Keith, and the elusive Producer Joe (still hiding behind the wall like the Wilpons hid their checkbook during the Madoff era) as they break down the biggest moves of the offseason so far—starting with the bombshell news that Juan Soto is now a Met. That’s right, Soto signed the biggest contract in North American sports history: 15 years, up to $805 million. Looks like the Coupons are long gone, and Steve Cohen is playing Monopoly with real money.But the Mets aren’t done yet. The guys will discuss whether Pete Alonso will be next to lock in a deal or if he’s stuck testing the open market, where he’s reportedly struggling to find the long-term contract he’s after. Will Pete stay in orange and blue, or is it time to panic-buy polar bear plushies? On the pitching front, the Mets made moves by signing Clay Holmes to a 3-year deal to bolster the rotation and picking up Griffin Canning on a low-risk, 1-year depth contract. With rumors of a cheap trade for a big name on the horizon, Mets fans can’t help but wonder: Is this team finally ready to dominate, or are we setting ourselves up for another rollercoaster season? Tune in as the hosts break it all down with their trademark dry wit, overanalysis, and a healthy dose of nostalgia for the days when spending like this was just a pipe dream. With the Mets back in the playoffs and building for an even brighter future, it’s an offseason filled with hope, excitement, and a touch of chaos—just how we like it. #PiitB #Mets
