But it's Atkins. There's so many lessons he should have learned over the years but it doesn't look like he has.

I don't buy the separate budget thing. They're corporately owned and have the accountability to the shareholders. They're not going to go all out on Soto plus other high end guys. I hope they're kicking the tires on him, but that their true focus is filling in the numerous other holes with high end players instead of Soto. If they kick the tires and hear the price will be too much, focus on the other guys. They simply can't afford to go "all in" on one guy with so much else to fill, and realistically not spending that crazy money. Given that Vlad and potentially Bo need to be signed, I just can't see them going in on Soto aside from checking in.
