you keep saying that, as if 24 year old 1Bs with juan soto's track record just come onto the market regularly. they don't.. saying "nobody has paid a player like that" is irrelevant, because there are almost never players like him hitting the market at that age. and saying "nobody will pay that for a 1b" over and over doesn't mean that's true. you're speculating.
it all comes down to the fact that you are seemingly okay with soto as a terrible corner OF for 400 million, but not as a 1b, which just doesn't make sense.
