Juan Soto might not get signed to a humungous 15-year, $765 million contract if Shohei Ohtani was a free agent this offseason, MLB insider Bob Nightengale claims.
Upon learning Soto's deal, the USA Today analyst spoke highly of Dodgers ownership (Guggenheim Baseball Management), saying signing Ohtani to a 10-year, $700 million deal last offseason, especially with deferrals in place, now seems a massive steal for the club.
"Yeah, I mean, it was still a good deal last year, especially with the deferred money," Nightengale said on Dodgers Nation (6:42 onwards). "But now, when you consider how much revenue he brought to the Dodgers and his impact as a player, both on the field and in the clubhouse, the contract looks like an absolute steal.
