The Juan Soto contract extension dance has officially begun

Spending of any scale must be accepted by Mark Lerner, the crew’s managing principal proprietor, and different members of his household and internal circle. A practical expectation, although, is that Soto and Boras will angle for a deal of double-digit years with one of many highest common annual values in historical past, if not the best. In March 2019, Mike Trout signed a 12-year, $425.6 million contract. That averages to an annual wage of about $35.5 million.
