DALLAS (AP) — The New York Mets made history by signing outfielder Juan Soto to a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract. The deal, pending a physical, includes a $75 million signing bonus and could reach $805 million if the Mets void Soto's opt-out clause after the 2029 season.
The Mets outbid the rival New York Yankees, who had offered $760 million over 16 years. This move sent shockwaves through the baseball world, with many contemplating the implications for future player contracts.
