If Juan Soto wants to break Shohei Ohtani’s record for the largest contract in sports, he’s off to a good start. Ohtani inked a $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers last month, but in his final year of arbitration, he made $30 million. However, Soto and his new squad, the New York Yankees, avoided arbitration by agreeing on a reported $31 million salary. That title currently belongs to Fernando Tatis Jr. with his 14-year pact he signed before the 2021 season, worth $340 million. They also have Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts signed to deals worth $350 million and $280 million, respectively.
