Juan Soto's massive contract could be for much more money than anybody has anticipated over the last few months.
Juan Soto is expected to sign as early as Sunday or Monday, which will finally conclude one of the more exciting free agency sweepstakes in MLB history. Five teams remain in pursuit of Soto, all reportedly having offers of at least $600 million on the table. Those five teams are the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, and Boston Red Sox.But even in the final days of negotiations, it seems like things are changing.
'It's a perfect storm of bidding, and through the use of deferrals, it does not seem out of the realm of possibility that the broad strokes of his deal could be something in the range of $750 million over 15 years,' Olney wrote.The interesting caveat here is the idea of deferred money. With deferred money in play, Soto could absolutely clear $700 million, especially with a team like the Dodgers in pursuit.
