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

[Seven]

There are few, if any players in the history of Free Agency that would ever approach 1 Billion. Soto was one of them. Generational hitting talent, but lacking in the field/on the base paths. I said this before in the Soto thread, I truly don't think any player is worth that amount, but I'm beating a dead horse.

Within the Last 25 years? I think small group of players, had they played in todays game/financial climate would get the Billion dollar contract, had they hit free agency at the age of 25. Trout and ARod both come to mind, as the numbers they were putting up their first few seasons in the big leagues were absurd and they were both five tool threats. Albert Pujols as well, based off of his offensive production alone, as he set the world on fire offensively the moment he entered the league, and would've most likely have won 2-3 MVPs had it not been for Barry Bonds.

Point is, I do not think Elly will sniff 1 Billion Dollars. He's not in that category.
