Right?

I said it a few pages back. Maybe, just maybe he gets into Henry's moneyball head and checks all the boxes.
Soto being only 26 next year is probably a factor in them being willing to splurge on him. You’d essentially be purchasing the entire prime of a generational talent. You almost never have the opportunity to do that in free agency. He’s a once in a lifetime free agent.

It’s not like buying into him when he’s 30 or even 28. Getting him at 26 makes a big difference on a 12+ year deal

Agreed, plus a best ever OBP which will help as he ages.

What if I told you the Red Sox could have one of these two options... which would you choose and why?

A. Juan Soto at 14-years, $630 million for an AAV of $45 million/year.

B. One of the premier starters on the market (Burns, Fried, Snell) AND one of the premier closers on the market (Helsley, Williams, Scott) for a combined AAV of $45 million/year.

Also, there's this...
