So, $320M for 8? It's hard to imagine Boras urging any client to leave a single cent on any table, never mind $100 million dollars less...
Maybe Washington can somehow persuade Soto to accept the $440M for 10 years... instead of 15. Ugh.
I dunno, the more I think about it, this could be the turning point in baseball salaries. Can any athlete or human being, for that matter -- if he's that rich -- not grow complacent after even half a decade?
Will a soon-to-be set-for-lifer like Rafael Devers still be motivated -- at age 30 or time-ravaged 35 -- to workout all year long with the intent of destroying every pitch? Every year?
