Soto's Performance in HR Derby - Bigger Paycheck

[Tanko]

So, does Soto's great performance last night push his contract price higher than the $440M for 15 years that he was offered from the Nats?

How much is this guy really worth?

 

[BobbyFK]

No, I don’t see it having any effect on his contract

yes. as i mentioned earlier he is going to be more and more expensive. great talent comes with great money.

 

[Bubbles]

any reason why he turned down the $440m offer?

 

[Tanko]

No idea. Its speculation that he wants to be on a "winner".
