Take this with a grain of salt, but I have read from two different sources now that there may be a deal in the works to lock up Soto for 12-13 years. They were saying between $369M-$400M. They didn't mention particulars, just what I have posted. I hope it's true, but I will believe it when it happens.
public sources you can post links to?There's been talk about that length but higher estimates from neutral spitballers as to what it would take. I could easily see the Nats making an offer in the range you are talking about, but I can't see Soto taking it even at $400 million. Which reminds me of the absurdity of the money in baseball relative to my world.

I gotta think $450 million is the lowest we could get him for
if they dont resign soto this team becomes orioles south. just as plain as day. nats are gonna be a bad team for a long team if they cannot keep the only player that excites anyone to come to games.
Start at 13/500mil. Keep knocking a year off until you get to 11/500mil. I'm guessing this 10/500mil is the sweet spot with some minor deferrals.Strikes a coming so who cares for now.
Soto's not worth 1/2 billion bucks. $400M is high enough for an at-best average fielding corner outfielder, regardless of hitting ability.
Fine. Let him go and see of you can replace his 6/7 WAR per year.
His defensive WAR metrics don't reflect his actual shortcomings. Defensive metrics in general are crude. Soto makes the routine plays and charges the ball well. Everything else he does in the outfield is unacceptable.
