Major League Baseball teams have committed to massive contracts in recent years, with extensions and free-agent deals setting franchise records across the league. Standouts include Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s 14-year, $500 million extension with the Toronto Blue Jays and Juan Soto's 15-year, $765 million free-agent pact with the New York Mets. These agreements underscore the growing financial stakes in player retention and acquisition.
The Oakland Athletics have signed catcher Tyler Soderstrom to a seven-year, $86 million extension, pushing the Chicago White Sox's previous franchise-record deal back to the bottom of MLB. This agreement guarantees Soderstrom $86 million, surpassing the White Sox's $75 million contract with outfielder Andrew Benintendi. The move highlights the White Sox's ongoing challenges in committing to high-value extensions amid their rebuilding efforts.
