Soto might take a crazy long defered contract like Showtime.
If you need to go to 16 or 17 years to get him to sign and keep the contract down do it. Rest of the lineup after him and Devers are cost controlled and pitchers don't require long contracts anymore.
He can DH in his 40s its not like he'll stop being able to take walks.
Its not happening with this ownership even if they make a decent bid they'll do it knowing someone is offering higher.
A Rod also agreed to give back a huge chunk of his salary to come to Boston.
If FSG had paid the guy you'd have had an Ortiz-Manny-Arod middle of the lineup.
