Juan Soto is expected to sign one of the largest contracts in sports history this offseason.
Not only is the slugging outfielder coming off an MVP-caliber season with the Yankees (41 home runs, 109 RBI, .419 OPB), but he’s also been consistent— averaging 35 home runs and 102 RBI per season over seven years.
Add in his winning pedigree (one World Series title with Washington in 2019) and his age (turned 26 on October 25), and it wouldn’t come as much of a surprise if Soto signs a mega-deal worth at least $500 million.
Such a steep price tag would seemingly put the Red Sox out of the running, given their quiet offseasons as of late.
