Juan Soto apparently turned down 15yr 440,000,000 offer from Nat's. It's not that he turned it down but the fact teams can offer so much when other teams can't. How can the Tigers compete with that? They can't.

Juan Soto apparently turned down 15yr 440,000,000 offer from Nat's. It's not that he turned it down but the fact teams can offer so much when other teams can't. How can the Tigers compete with that? They can't.
Eh, player for the Nat's. Obviously.
well, that's only $29.33M per year. The Tigers are paying Miggy more than that. Why do you think the Tigers can't compete with that?
That said, I wouldn't want to pay a single player that kind of money. Having one star hitter doesn't guarantee team success.
Why from what you posted would it be obvious that he is currently a player for the Nats?
You said he turned down money from the Nats, you didn?t say he was a current player with the Nats that turned down the money.
It's the middle of the season. Can't offer anyone a contract at this point in the season unless he's currently on team.
Possible reasons for soto not signing are he doesn't want to play for the nats and prefers a big city name team east or west coast.
Another possibility is half way through the contract that pays 29 to 30 million a year, is the average yearly salary in 2030 might be low compared to what other players are getting in 8 years.
Lastly he is completely caught up in money which has become his God.
It doesn't matter you think Detroit and other teams can offer 400+m.
well, Detroit did it with Miggy (Not $400 but AAV). Look how that turned out.
That was Mr. I. The son won't be handing out 440m. Now Soto will go to the Dodgers or NYY. MLB needs a cut badly. Luxury tax means nothing for some clubs. Its not just Detroit but teams like Pittsburgh they're never compete. You'll have to draft perfectly and play perfectly.
I agree that some markets have an advantage when it comes to revenue and how much they can afford to spend...but that's not going to change any time soon...if ever.
