At some point in the next month or two, Juan Soto is going to sign a piece of paper and become an obscenely rich man. It's unclear, however, if that new wealth will be record-breaking.
Shohei Ohtani currently has the largest contract in sports history with the 10-year, $700 million contract he signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers a year ago. That deal didn't just break Mike Trout's record for baseball money, it surpassed it by nine figures. An entire Nolan Arenado contract could fit in the distance between the money in Ohtani's deal and Trout's $426 million.
