These are more appropriately zombie runners, because they made the final out of the last inning but get to come back from the dead.

Soto can opt out of the deal after five years (following the 2029 season), but the Mets can block him from reentering free agency by adding an extra $4 million per year to the final 10 years of his deal. That would be $40 million in total and raise the total value of the deal to $805 million.

Soto's deal is a bit front-loaded, and he is reportedly set to make $305 million in the first five seasons before the opt out comes up. Would a 31-year-old opt out of a deal worth $460 million and try to make his team raise that figured to $500 million?

still can't be as bad as miguel vargas must've felt when the dodgers dealt him to the white sox at last year's trade deadline
