"Juan Soto, one of baseball's premier sluggers, has signed a historic 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, making it the largest deal in professional sports history. Coming off a standout season with the New York Yankees where he hit .288 with 41 home runs, Soto now joins forces with Francisco Lindor to bolster the Mets' lineup. This move not only signifies a massive shift in the balance of power in New York but also sets a new benchmark for player contracts in MLB. The deal includes no deferred money and features a $75 million signing bonus, with an opt-out clause after five years. Soto, at just 26 years old, is expected to be a central figure in the Mets' quest for a World Series title, transforming their offensive capabilities and fan expectations.
