I think that’s about $45 mil a year. But get this. He ALSO wants opt outs after years 3 and 4. Which I assume would still put him in an age range where he could sign a big deal
Soto wants a 3rd cake. He realizes he is going to eat the salary cap so now he needs a team that can develop young talent around him for the rest of his career. Cheap labor while he makes all the money. He wants to be the nike or apple of mlb
Yankees don’t play prospects which is why he grilled them. Red Sox have a ton of young talent. Mets I’m not sure of their development system. Dodgers used to develop a lot of young talent and still have brought some up. But have used it lately as currency. Like trading verdugo and downs for Betts. Trading Vargas for edman and kopech. And getting rid of Busch. And now they need to probably trade Gonsolin. Pages. Outman. Maybe Dustin may. I’m disappointed they kept Barnes and blocked the path of cartaya and the other guy
It’s reasonable. Dodgers should get this done.
