What kind of contract is Vlad Jr looking at next winter?

Let's say Vlad Jr has a healthy year and finishes the season with stats something like this:
155 games
700 PAs
610 AB
110 R
190 H
40 D
2 T
37 HR
115 RBI
80 BB
6 HBP
.312 BA
.394 OBP
345 TB
.566 SLG
.960 OPS
All Star
Silver Slugger
3rd in MVP vote

Soto, is unique in that he is different from Ohtani because he does not pitch. So he set the bar for position players. Vlad Jr won't get Soto money. But it's a good bet that he will exceed Judge's money because he is entering free agency five years younger than Judge did.

My guess is his contract could go as high as 12 years/$540 million. Some will call me crazy, of course. But if I had quoted 12 years/$540 million for Soto this time last year, those same people would also have called me crazy.

well, we dont yet know whether Vlad is loyal to the blue jays, looking for money, or looking to win...

we will find that out soon...
i dont see him going long contract unless he is loyal with the bluejays...

being primarily a 1B and in the future likely more DH, he wont get a position scarsity bonus money...

i would guess on a longer contract, his max is probably 40 MIL per year...

but in a short contract, i can see him getting 45 mil...

I don’t know how much the dodgers will pay for him.
