Juan Soto shocked the baseball world when he signed a fifteen year 765 million dollar deal with the New York Mets.
Soto’s contract is more valuable than Dodger’s star Shohei Ohtani’s ten year 700 million dollar deal he signed last year in the offseason.
Soto who has played with the Washington Nationals, the San Diego Padres, and the New York Yankees, is a four time All-Star and came off hitting 41 home runs and 109 RBI’s this past season.
This contract impacts baseball as it is now one of the richest contracts in MLB history and has made Juan Soto one of the more prized players in the league.
Soto had many teams in the MLB on their feet trying to get him on their team. The New York Mets and owner Steve Cohen had been one of the teams who were strong in wanting to acquire Soto’s services.
Soto now also teams up with Mets SuperStar Francisco Lindor to bring excitement to fans in Queens.
