We need to keep in mind, if we're talking about the 2024 CBT, that Soto already accounted for $31M, so even if his AAV goes up to $51M, that an increase of only $20M, and by subtracting Rizzo, Torres, and Verdugo, and replacing 2 of those guys with rookies, you are at about minus $18M from that bunch. Donaldson was on the CBT for $6M, and that just gets rolled over to bring Rizzo, an even swap. We're only about 11 days out from finding out who gets non tendered,, and I still go back n forth if they will go kid/get on 1 year prove it deal, or someone like Christian Walker. If the Mets sign Soto, don't see how the Yankees don't sign Alonzo.
