"Juan Soto signed on with the New York Mets earlier this month, inking a 15-year, $765 million contract with no deferred money. Soto's deal trumps that of Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani and the 10-year, $700 million deal he signed just a year ago."
"The caveat to those deals is the present day value attached, and how it impacts the luxury tax year-to-year. Ohtani's contract has the majority paid out over an extra 10 years, providing the Dodgers with financial flexibility to add other high-priced deals."
"The owners are likely to be in favor of a [salary] cap while the players will be against it. Major League Baseball Players Association lobbied against salary cap during the 1994-1995 MLB strike that lasted over 230 days."
