Soto made 500,000 in 2019. If we signed him for 30-40 million, that means not having one of max or Stras. Or not having Corbin, Dozier, Gomes and Howie. I don't think we would have won a world series in 2019 with that money going to Soto instead of the other pieces.
The time to sign him would have been 2020. And would not have taken $30-40 million. The risk is you have is what happened to the Phillies with Scott Kingery. MLB salary to a guy now stuck in the minors.
In any event it’s water under the bridge. New owners coming.
