Well, we officially have a trend. Eighteen months ago, Fernando Tatís Jr. signed a 14-year, $340 million contract with the San Diego Padres before ever playing a 162-game season. Then last offseason, Wander Franco signed an 11-year, $182 million extension with the Tampa Bay Rays after playing less than a full season. And now Julio Rodríguez has topped them all, signing a massive, confusing deal* worth somewhere between $210 million and $470 million.
