The New York Mets have agreed a sensational deal to sign MLB megastar Carlos Correa to a 12-year contract after a dramatic u-turn from the San Francisco Giants.
In doing so, Steve Cohen's franchise will obliterate a previously-untouched record for spending, with the team's payroll now an estimated $384million (£317m). Add on the luxury tax payments the team will take on, and they'll be paying out a total of $495m (£410m).
That whopping figure is the most any team in Major League Baseball history has ever spent - by a considerable distance. ESPN reports no team has ever come within $150m (£124m) of the $500m (£414m) mark.
