I don't agree with this. I'd rather have Soto in OF and Clement at 3B than Santander and Bregman. Soto+Clement will cost less per year, probably delivers more WAR, and is more flexible for more years (Soto is younger than the other FAs, so would be tradeable for longer if they need to rebuild).
The worst $/win is mid-quality free agents. Guys like Justin Turner at $13MM and KK at $10.5MM add up on the payroll side but aren't difference makers.
