At some point in the next few months, Juan Soto is going to sign a contract that might be valued at over half a billion dollars, while fellow free agents Corbin Burnes, Pete Alonso, Alex Bregman, Willy Adames, Max Fried, Shane Bieber, Blake Snell and perhaps Anthony Santander could all be headed for nine-figure deals of their own.
Once each of those signings is announced, it's going to feel like a big win for the team that makes it a reality.
But it doesn't always work out that way, does it?
Sometimes those big signings just set the bar way too high, leaving both player and team to become major disappointments if the first season of that massive contract doesn't go according to plan.
