December 9, 20241 yr I’m telling you.. we will see the first 1 Billion dollar contract within 15 years but maybe even before the end of the decade at this rate.
December 9, 20241 yr Must be nice to be have a team that will spend.Soto’s deal is worth $41M more than the Marlins’ last 9 opening day payrolls combined…..

MLB needs to address this fast. Even if they added a salary cap the flux increase each year would only favors big markets anyway. To tackle this, contracts shouldn’t be longer than 5 yrs plus they can do an arbitration case that determines the players value in FA. Its not fair that big market teams are determining the FA market because of desperation.Putting Soto’s contract in perspective based on intangible importance he makes just as much a Patrick Mahomes a 2x super bowl champ who boasts the largest contract in the NFL 10/450. The Mets made a mistake. Edited December 10, 20241 yr by K-Jazzzz

He’s a unicorn in baseball in that regard. Muts are not done this off season either and will be a juggernaut when all is said and done
