Juan Soto is the largest contract in sports history actually!
41 comments
Is it though? Since Soto’s is 51 mil a year as opposed to Ohtani’s 70 mil a year
They finna throw out over a billion dollars between two players CRAZY
Baseball is going to fail as a league.
TV contracts are failing. Contacts are ridiculous for players. And attendance/viewership, though stabilized recently with rule changes, aren’t helping.
In MLB & sports history 🤯
Obscene
As a Cleveland Guardians fan 😵
All sorts of sports? 🤔
Crazy how Harper’s deal for 13 years/330m seemed like alot at the time, and now Juan Soto’s deal is basically double. There will be a Billion dollar contract in the near future.
Bruh I’m just trying to get pizza for lunch tomorrow.
Who’s gonna get the first billion dollar contract?
I want to see how overpriced the concessions will be at Citi Field next season.
Did the prices at Dodgers Stadium get overpriced fo shit with Ohtani this year?
Also 15 years is a long time, outside of Joe Mauer I can’t think of many guys who stayed thru their long term deals.
Looks worse than even trout and the padres on that list
Absolute INSANITY that this guy has a bigger contract then Shohei, i simply don’t understand how this is possible considering 1 can only bat while the other can bat AND pitch AND has an entire nation behind him
Mike who?
Baseballs obsession with signing dudes to decade long contracts continues to baffle me. The risk is insanely high and it ruins any trade value for that player as no team wants to front that bill.
Paul Skenes will probably be a Billion dollar Mets signing….
This is why MLB needs a cap. He wasn’t even the best player on his own team last year. At 25 years old he was a sub par fielder and a bad base runner. He’s going to now play 81 games in a non-hitter friendly home ballpark. I get it, Steve Cohen got his man, he was not going to be denied. But the bottom line is, the Mets are still the 3rd best team in their own division. They are going to need to do MORE than Juan Soto to beat the Braves and Phillies.
As a Yankees fan I’m glad they didn’t re-sign Soto for that insane amount! Now hopefully they take most of that money and get 4 players that solidify the team! The Mets have no one to protect Soto in the lineup like Judge did with 58 home runs and a .322 batting average!
Except it’s not. Messi and CR7 dwarf this.
Ohtani hits and pitches, soto isn’t worth that now let alone in 10 year or 5 more after that. I think this deal will end up biting the mets in the ass
Cool, baseball is gonna fail.
MLB needs a floor, and a true hard salary cap. It won’t happen, and manfred will get mad when interest drops to a low because there are five good teams.
Back in the day people bitched about big market teams buying players, etc. It’s not the same now, it is exponentially more a problem.
I’m unsubscribing from r/mlb and just sticking with Jomboy on YT. I don’t care how much money these people are making.
Coincidentally, the top worst contract in MLB history 😂 this is going be known as the Soto curse
You know, I remember when we were all flipping out over Bryce Harper’s deal. It’s now the 9th most paying. 9th.
They Mets have made some dumb signings in my lifetime and I think this will end up being chief among them. No way they get their money’s worth on this.
Bonilla 2.0
The most overpayed player ever, at least shohei ohtani hits better and pitches and he even deffered most of his contract, and he already generated almost 120m for the dodgers this year and will bring more in the future per year. Hell, the dodgers could pay shohei even if he didn’t defer with the money he brings in. Mets will regret this in like 5 years.
Jesus
Mookie and Harper’s contracts look like steals next to all of these.
It took many years for A-Rod to not be on this list.
I am not happy. It has to stop.
I think ohtani is larger when you factor how it’s going to pay out
Which was better, Ohtani’s record in the A-League in 2023 or Soto’s in 2024, which I don’t remember well?
A-Rod’s deal should be on this list. With inflation adjustment it has a higher AAV than Trout and Betts. And a higher overall value than Betts’ deal. And he was really young when he signed at just 25 so he could sign another big deal after that one. One of the best free agents to ever hit the market given his ability and age.
And tell me why Americas best athletes want to play football again…
😱
Why do these teams always hand out albatross contracts?
Do you think other sports will ,behind the scenes, force baseball to get a salary cap? If you’re good at two sports, why wouldn’t you stick with the one that could pay you out more money? Not just these mega deals but smaller ones as well. If the market gets set higher and higher, I just can’t see how you will choose football over baseball.
The difference between Soto’s contract and Trout’s would #9 on this list.
What makes me sad about these big contracts, is that we might not see smaller market teams make World Series runs ever again. How can you when teams like my Mets and the Dodgers are willing to shell out billions to buy WS runs. It’s wack. I loved our last season because we had a bunch of ragtag’s pull together like the fucking dirty dozen. If we win next year and bought the series, I don’t think it’ll feel half as good as this year’s loss.
Downvote me but Soto is NOT worth the hype or money
