Not many teams can match what Soto is likely to ask, with his next contract expected to break records for guaranteed upfront money in baseball. <\/p><p>The &ldquo;upfront&rdquo; part is key, since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mlb.com\/player\/shohei-ohtani-660271\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Shohei Ohtani<\/a>&rsquo;s massive $700 million deal is so spread out that it&rsquo;s worth around $437.8 million in present-day value. Soto&rsquo;s contract, by contrast, is expected to easily clear $500 million.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the Dodgers&rsquo; massive payroll could still make room for Juan Soto<\/h2><p>With 2025 projections from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fangraphs.com\/roster-resource\/payroll\/dodgers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>RosterResource<\/a>, the Dodgers already have about $257.2 million committed to payroll and an estimated $253.1 million toward their luxury tax number. (h2 header)<\/p><p>This pushes them above next season&rsquo;s tax threshold ($241 million), and adding Soto, likely at around $50 million per year, would place the Dodgers beyond the highest tax penalty level of $301 million. <\/p><p>Since the team has already paid luxury tax for the past four seasons, crossing the $301 million mark would more than double their tax on anything exceeding $241 million.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Dodgers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>#Dodgers<\/a> plan to pursue Juan Soto in free-agency this offseason, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JonHeyman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@JonHeyman<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/b246i8TDN2\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/b246i8TDN2<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB Deadline News (@MLBDeadlineNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLBDeadlineNews\/status\/1850630601965273554?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 27, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>However, the luxury tax hasn&rsquo;t really deterred the Dodgers from chasing elite talent. With Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Will Smith on contracts lasting the decade and Freeman and Tyler Glasnow secured through at least 2027, the Dodgers won&rsquo;t be under the tax line anytime soon. <\/p><p>Financial penalties seem trivial when the team remains a revenue powerhouse.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Juan Soto joining the Dodgers would be almost unfair<\/strong><\/h2><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.in\/mlb\/player\/stats\/_\/id\/36969\/juan-soto\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Soto<\/a> and Aaron Judge together was already intimidating for most teams.

I\u2019m not some lifelong analyst or stats guru, truth being told, you\\'ve probably never heard of me!\u2014I just know how to research, write, and make things sound good. That\u2019s the job! Got into sports media the same way most people do: by (fortunate) accident. Started with SEO writing, took on a few sports gigs, and now here we are! I cover games, trades, player drama\u2014whatever needs words. Favorite part? The chaos. One day it\\'s a blockbuster trade, the next it\\'s a goat running onto the field. Never boring. Message to readers: If you want deep analysis, there are people for that. If you want sharp, no-BS writing that actually makes sense, stick around.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/n.a.t.a.s.h.a.2\/"],"url":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/author\/natasha-bosetheplayoffs-news\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2801"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2801"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2804,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2801\/revisions\/2804"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
