The Nats Juan Soto qualifies as a “Super 2” player — one who has more than two but less than three years of service time — and his 2021 salary will go from less than $1 million to a likely record-breaking sum for players in his position.
Kris Bryant set the record for a first-year eligible player at $10.85 million in 2018.
Soto could command around $12 million following his 2020 production, which would make a major dent in the Nationals finances as they attempt to retool their roster this offseason and beyond.
