Of course it's a genius move if they can get it done.
The only thing that can stop Soto is some lingering lower body injury given how powerful his base is. Or I guess a back injury.
Nobody is without risk and goofy shit like lis franc injuries can destroy a hitter and happen with nothing more than a funny step rounding a bag. But man, Soto is an incredible bet to make.

I'm curious if we'll see contracts like Correa's contract be the norm (shorter term but mega $$$) with the opportunity for players to make more guaranteed in a year or 2 while still in their prime. Obviously, that would only be something we'd see with younger players who make their debut at/before 20 (Soto, Harper, Gurrero, Tatis Jr.) as opposed to players who make their debuts from like 22-23 who opt for longer contracts (Arenado) for more pay certainty.
