Juan Soto Just Signed the Largest Contract in Sports History!

[Jaypers]

With the Mets. 15 years, $765M. No, that's not a typo. Wow.

that's only $51M a year compared to Ohtani's $70M a year.

Did he defer any of his contract?

Let’s go! Now resign Pete and some more pitching!

No deferments. Opt out after 5 years.

Congrats to the Mets. The thoughts of Bobby Bonilla entered my mind too! Kinda glad the Yankees didn't get him at that price/years!

The opt out really shows that Soto was all about the money. As bad as the Mets could be in five years Soto can’t opt out if the Mets just pay him more money.

Is he or any player really worth that kind of money ?

Nope....baseball is out of control. The same deep pocket teams in the largest media markets will always be the WS favorites going into the season. There is a complete lack of parity. Having a luxury tax is not a fix, the rich owners laugh at it.

So I assume someone wants to immediately give my 5 grand for his Topps Chrome AS Rookie Cup card, right? Lol

I knew from day 1 he wasn’t going to stay. This whole thing played out like LeBron’s “decision”, and I’m glad Soto isn’t in pinstripes anymore.

How long before he hits the IL? I say he starts the season on the IL.

He is a lousy fielder not good running bases. He will be a dh before you know it. We have Stanton dh we need a top of to give judge a break.

He's been at worst average defensively the last three years and he's improved his baserunning though it's certainly still just okay more than average. Even with that slight negative though he's one of the top 4 or 5 players in the game and he's only 26.

he is a great hitter.

I saw that one of the reasons he left is how his family and staff were treated by the Yankees Security Guards.
