Juan Soto is the richest man in baseball, having signed a massive $765 million contract with the New York Mets as a free agent this offseason. The excitement surrounding his addition can be felt in the air around Queens, as the top slugger joins a roster coming off an NLCS run in 2024. Soto represents a massive investment by owner Steve Cohen and, more importantly for the fans, a reason to believe in the Mets, both now and in the immediate future.
Like many athletes, Soto is also an avid Call of Duty player. In honor of the five-year anniversary of Call of Duty: Warzone, the game will be bringing back the map Verdansk on April 3. Soto spoke to Sports Illustrated about the return of the fan favorite map, the role Call of Duty has in his life as a professional athlete, and the memories he's made playing video games during his MLB career.
