Former Pirates star Brian Giles or NY Met Juan Soto? It’s not as crazy a question as you think

Juan Soto earned the largest contract in North American sports history this offseason.

Soto and the New York Mets agreed to a 15-year, $765 million deal in December as Steve Cohen goes all-in on winning the Mets a championship.

You can argue if anyone deserves to make $765 million in professional sports, but the revenue and value of the game have made contracts significantly grow in the last 15 years to numbers no one could have seen coming.

It makes me wonder, what would former Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Brian Giles have made in the heart of his career if he was a free agent this year?
