I don't think you can look at any of these mega deals as something that will have gained or evened out value.
When you're paying a premium for what's been done in the past you're generally overpaying from the outset as well as through an age that's past most every athlete's peak.
Gotta spend the money on something.
15 years from now that 51m will still be substantial, but it probably won't be mind-blowing...though it will be for someone's Soto's age.
15 years ago there were 4 guys with 20m+ contracts... Arod (33m), Manny Ramirez (23.8m), Jeter (21.6m), and Mark Teixeira (20.6m).
A few days ago M.Conforto got 17m and W.Adames got 26m average yearly contracts.
