1 Billion Dollar Bulgaron Launched by Soto, HOF Third baseman If Ohtani Signed One Year Late

Atlanta Braves legendary third baseman Chipper Jones was told in an interview with the local podcast ‘Foul Territory’ on the 18th (Korea time) that Juan Soto is a batter across generations. Soto is a very, very well-organized typewriter, but we are putting out too many ways to cover generations. In my view, the representative hitter for generations is the player who signed last year. “I’m talking about Ohtani, a batter who doesn’t come out once in a generation.”

He emphasized that the player representing this era is Otani, not Soto. It can be said that Ohtani, the myth of pitching and hitting that appeared in more than 100 years since Babe Ruth virtually gave up the pitcher after 1919, was evaluated as a player that encompasses all generations.

Jones continued “I’m sure if Soto had signed for $765 million first and Ohtani had signed a year later, he would have received $1 billion.”

Because of Soto’s astronomical contract, the ‘1 billion contract’ is finally starting to be mentioned. If so, will a player appear to accept a $1 billion contract based on a single contract.

In this regard, Yahoo Sports said on the same day that ‘Who will be the first major league player to be worth $1 billion?The possibility was explored in an article titled ‘. In conclusion, it is difficult to get a $1 billion contract in this era.

Soto signed a 15-year contract with the Mets and was granted the right to trigger the opt-out exercise five years later. If he maintains his skills of hitting 41 home runs and 109 RBIs with the New York Yankees this year for five years, he will surely exercise that right. Then you become an FA again. However, the Mets also had a safety device in place. If the average annual salary is raised to $55 million for the remaining 10 years, the opt-out right can be extinguished. In this case, the total amount for 15 years will increase to $805 million.
