Is there any possible way for New York Yankees superstar Juan Soto to actually land a contract worth $700 million in free agency?
The Juan Soto sweepstakes are taking over the game of baseball this winter. Five to 10 different teams are expected to pursue Soto, all offering him offers that likely exceed $400 million.Teams like the Toronto Blue Jays, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Dodgers have entered the race, though the New York Yankees and New York Mets are considered favorites.
For him to reach $700 million, he would need a record-breaking 15-year deal, but it's absolutely possible. Let's do the math.As Heyman stated, Soto is believed to be seeking a 15-year contract that would take him through his age 41 season. Fifteen years at $40 million a year would land him at $600 million even. This $600 million number should be looked at as the floor for what Soto could get this winter.
