I think it gets done.
A big part of both Ohtani and Soto was that Rogers wanted them not only for on field but for the marketing aspects.
And while Vladdy is behind Ohtani in that aspect, he's probably ahead of Soto, and due to his fathers popularity he was already a merch and marketing driver the second he joined the Blue Jays.
My guess is it will be something like $450-$500M for 10 or 11 years and will be in that $45-$48M per season range.
