Star outfielder Juan Soto has made history by signing a monumental 15-year contract with the New York Mets, worth a record-breaking $765 million. The deal, which could potentially escalate to $805 million, is believed to be the largest pact in team sports history.
Soto's agreement surpasses all other contracts in team sports, setting a new benchmark for player deals. The outfielder will have the option to opt out of the contract after the 2029 season if the Mets fail to increase the average annual value by $4 million annually. As part of the deal, Soto will receive a substantial $75 million signing bonus, pending approval by the commissioner's office.
