Soto is a different body type than either of them.
As he ages through this contact, I'd expect him to move from the OF to 1B. OBP and power derived from that do tend to age well. I suspect the last five years of the deal or so will be pretty rough for the Mets, but if they win a few World Series with Soto as the centerpiece, I don't think they'll care all that much.
