If you had any doubt, it's worth rewatching his final postgame press conference from October:
Reporter: "There's a perception that you would rather stay in New York than go elsewhere, is that correct?"
"Um, I don't think so. I mean, I'm really happy with the city, the team, how these guys do, but we're going to look at every situation, every offer that we get, and take a decision from there."
Reporter: "Do you expect the Mets to come in?"
"I don't know what teams want to come after me, but I'll be open to this and every single team. I don't have any doors closed. I'm going to be available to all 30 teams."
Reporter: "Will it be tough to leave here? I know you love playing with Judge and love the guys here."
[pause] "Leaving any place that is a winning team is always hard. This place was really special, it's been a blast... but at the end of the day, we'll see what's going to happen."
Reporter: "Do the Yankees have any advantage in signing you, based on what you experienced here?"
"I feel like every team has the same opportunities."

I make picks on Thursday night with my 13-year-old, and Halloween blew up our week. The site isn't letting me just pick Monday's game, so give me (us) the Bucs by 5.

Good reminder that sports stars are not idols, they're normal people, prone to change their mind, and prone to be swayed by cold, hard cash. Rahm spent so much time talking about why he doesn't find LIV interesting and doesn't care about the buckets of money. But in the end, as he says plainly, "They really put me in a position where I had to think about it and I did."
As a Tour fan and a Rahm admirer, I am hoping that his plan is to play five years on LIV, then return to the PGA Tour when his majors exemptions run out. If there's a Tour left, that is.

Juan Soto does what he said he was going to do
Stories like this are PR placements, and they're such malarkey (even though they're effective).
"And the suite seemed to be one of the perks the Mets added that showed their commitment," says the article.
You know what showed their commitment? A larger contract with a higher AAV. ~fin~
