find the next guy who is young enough when hitting free agency and near the top of mlb performance. Trout had a blow away contract at the time.I don't know if there's a candidate now. Gunnar is too old. He may set the next record, but not $1 billion

I was thinking Wood.

Truth is, could have been Jackson Holliday, but not living up to the hype yet.  I'm thinking either a top notch international signee like Acuna or Soto, or else a high schooler who hits the majors in a year or two after the draft.

guys as good as Soto at his age are exceedingly rare, obviously.
