First $Billion$ Player....Elly de la Cruz?

Article in the Cincinnati newspaper said that baseball execs are projecting the first $Billion$ player about 2030. That would coincide with Elly de la Cruz' free agency. Same article said that execs estimate one WAR equals $10m. Soto had 6.5 WAR last year, so his annual average salary should be $65m. But the contract he just signed averaged out to $51m, so it is likely he was underpaid. Crazy!

One exec said that Soto was offered a billion, but the money was deferred and Soto declined.
