MLBTradeRumors.com projects a $33 million salary for the Padres' Juan Soto in 2024, which would break the record set by the Angels' Shohei Ohtani in 2023
The Padres could trade Juan Soto this offseason to help address several holes across the roster. If they do not, they could owe him the largest one-year deal ever awarded to a player in his final year of arbitration. The 24-year-old outfielder is due $33 million in his walk year, according to salary arbitration projections released on Friday by MLBTradeRumors.com. That figure would eclipse Shohei Ohtani’s $30 million salary for 2023 as the largest ever one-year deal.
711 over the final month of the season — after the Padres’ postseason odds were dropped to well below unlikely and less than 1 percent for much of the final two weeks. A $33 million payday would be a $10 million hike on last year’s salary and, combined with MLBTradeRumors’ other arbitration projects — RHP Scott Barlow , OF Trent Grisham , Tim Hill , C Austin Nola and LHP Adrián Morejón — would push the Padres’ base commitments to the 2024 payroll to just over $187 million.
