Braves gave Acuna 8 years 100 mill buying out his pre-arb, arb, and first few free agent years.

Soto makes basically the minimum in 2020.  He's then eligible for arbitration in 2021, 2022, and 2023.  Then he's a free agent.  Acuna's deal is a good model on what it would take.  The only issue is facing the luxury tax right now and bringing a guy from a half mill to whatever annual salary Soto would get in a deal like Acuna.  I would think Soto's family could benefit from that kind of money now versus waiting.
