The New York Mets and superstar outfielder Juan Soto have agreed on a 15-year, U$765 million contract, according to multiple reports. It is the largest contract in sports history. The decision brings Soto, formerly of the Yankees, across town to Queens in a bold move by a franchise that has long been overshadowed by the Bronx Bombers.
first reported Soto’s decision to leave Yankee Stadium for Citi Field and free-spending Mets owner Steve Cohen — who shelled out an MLB-high U$341.8 million for his 40-man roster in the 2024 season, according to Baseball Prospectus data. It is the biggest investment yet by Cohen, who hasn’t been shy about opening his chequebook. Shortstop Francisco Lindor is playing under a 10-year, $341 million contract. Cohen had shelled out U$130 million for Max Scherzer and U$86.
