Heading into free agency, there&#8217;s one name that stands out above the rest: New York Yankees&#8217; superstar outfielder Juan Soto.<\/p>\n<p>MLB experts have projected that Juan Soto will sign the richest contract behind Shohei Ohtani&#8217;s $700 million deal, with the price tag slowly climbing as he gets better and better.<\/p>\n<p>Most experts project him in the range of 10-15 years with a total value anywhere between $500 million and $600 million, depending on the contract length.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"_qzrimydzd\" class=\"tagStyle_1rck2gq-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_qzrimydzd\">Latest Juan Soto contract rumors suggest he could end up with Shohei Ohtani-level deal<\/h2>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_11es2i8pf\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">There may be more.

If Soto lands the $700 million deal that Ravech is guessing, it would need to be the longest contract in baseball history. Or it would include deferred money, just like Ohtani&#8217;s deal. $700 million across 15 years would net Soto about $47 million a year. Not totally out of the picture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_mekem214t\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">It&#8217;s a known fact that the Juan Soto sweepstakes is going to be an all out bidding war. The most important factor will be the dollar signs, and it&#8217;s not totally out of the picture to put him in this range. To be fair, Soto has already declined north of $400 million in hopes of\u00a0landing in free agency. The outfielder has only gotten better since he was offered those massive deals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_y86q88kc7\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">It feels ridiculous to say that Soto could earn a contract north of the $650 million mark. But it&#8217;s not completely impossible. A team like the Padres or Dodgers could end up in the sweepstakes if they&#8217;re willing to offer him $30 million a year with deferred money coming to him after the contract is up. There are a ton of things that these teams can do to get creative and win Soto over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_4o6kkn-o_O-style_1tcxgp3-o_O-style_1pinbx1-o_O-style_48hmcm\" data-mm-id=\"_5eeyn2l8l\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">Whatever teams are able to do with their money, they&#8217;re going to try it with Soto. The most likely outcome is that Soto signs for around $600 million\u00a0with one of the New York teams, but don&#8217;t count out the possibility of the bidding war getting so intense and creative that it ends in the Ohtani range.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Juan Soto enters free agency, the contract rumors are going to swirl.
