Juan Soto Joins Mets with Record-Breaking $765M Deal

The 26-year-old outfielder's 15-year contract marks a new chapter for the Mets as they aim to build a championship-caliber team.

Juan Soto signed a historic 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, the largest deal in MLB history, potentially exceeding $800 million with incentives.
Francisco Lindor, a key Mets leader, expressed excitement about Soto's addition, calling him a 'generational player' and praising his work ethic and team-first mentality.
Mets owner Steve Cohen and president of baseball operations David Stearns were instrumental in securing Soto, who reportedly appreciated the Mets' family-like culture.
The Mets are retooling their roster after falling short in the 2024 NLCS, with key free agents like Pete Alonso and Sean Manaea still unsigned.
Lindor emphasized the Mets' commitment to building a winning culture and expressed optimism about the team's future with Soto as a cornerstone player.
