It is the offseason two years ago, 2022-2023 (referred to as 2023). According to the annual salary website 'Cot's Basesball Contract', the total amount of 113 FA signings in the winter of that year amounted to about $3.741.9 billion. In the 2022 offseason, a total of $3.141.65 billion was invested over 112 players, ranking second.
Third place is this offseason. As of the 12th (Korea time), 89 people have signed major league contracts, and their total ransom is $3,063.7 million. However, Alex Bregman, who is out of contract, is expected to sign well over $100 million, which is certain to beat him to No. 2 in 2022.
In this regard, ESPN reporter Jeff Bankruptcy said, `This winter's drawing is not complete, but at the current pace, it will be the second most expensive offseason in history. Nearly $3.2 billion of investment has already been made,' the report said.
But an interesting fact is found. That is, the contract size of one player will exceed the total expenditure of the remaining 22 clubs this winter.

The bankruptcy reporter wrote, "'The Mets have thrown more than $1 billion into the market this winter, 75% of which is the largest contract in the history of professional sports. How huge will the Soto contract be?' That's more than the money spent this winter by 22 clubs, including the St. Louis Cardinals, Milwaukee Brewers, Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, Colorado Rockies, Minnesota Twins, Seattle Mariners, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals, Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Braves, Cleveland Guardians, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Athletics and Los Angeles Angels.
Then, a bankruptcy reporter said 'The 22 clubs spent $755 million on 40 players. And the remaining eight teams, the Mets, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Yankees, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the San Francisco Giants, the Toronto Blue Jays, the Texas Rangers and the Baltimore Orioles, have invested 76% of the total this offseason,' he explained.
In addition to Soto, the Mets signed FA contracts with Sean Mearania ($75 million for three years), Pete Alonso ($54 million for two years), Clay Holmes ($38 million for three years), Frankie Montas ($34 million for two years), AJ Minter ($22 million for two years), and Jesse Winker ($7.5 million for one year).
The bankruptcy reporter said 'New but hot stove league is made by those willing to spend it' This is proof that the phenomenon of the poor and the poor is remarkable among clubs. After Aaron Judge ($360 million for nine years) in 2023, Shohei Ohtani ($700 million for 10 years) last year and Soto this winter, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who will soon sign an astronomical contract, is also likely to head to the big market club.
