Juan Soto's $700 million contract projections are shocking certain members of the baseball community (Source: Getty Images)
Juan Soto's contract bids seemed to have soared way past the $600 million and is expected to touch the astronomical $700 million mark set by Shohei Ohtani last season. There have been some doubts in the baseball community as to whether the Dominican deserves to earn the amount he is being offered.
On Thursday, an X user (@primetimesc2) posted Juan Soto's stats. He tried to drive home the point that the outfielder earning an above-par batting average and hitting 35 home runs per season isn't close to getting $700 million as a justified contract.
"Call me old-fashioned but I can’t bring myself to understand giving a career .285 hitter who averages 25 homers a season a contract worth $700,000,000.00," the user wrote.
