"Juan Soto is gonna bring more than $50,000,000 this year" - Austin Hedges claims Mets superstar underpaid despite $765,000,000 blockbuster deal
Cleveland Guardians catcher Austin Hedges feels several players in MLB are underpaid. That includes Juan Soto, who signed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets this offseason.
Hedges, who's known for his unfiltered views, appeared on Chris Rose's podcast on Monday. He stressed that teams don’t sign superstars like Soto to lose money.
"I mean, bro, it's a multi-billion-dollar business," Hedges said (29:20 onwards). "It's not like they're paying him $760 million this year, but I guarantee you he's going to bring in a hell of a lot more than the $50 million they're paying him this year. You don't pay someone to lose money; you pay someone so you make more money than that. Technically, he's worth more."
