Overview

• A stray comment during ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball sparked false claims that Juan Soto had access to a private jet as part of his Mets contract.
• WFAN hosts Boomer Esiason and Greg Giannotti exaggerated Karl Ravech’s remarks, inaccurately asserting Soto flew separately from teammates.
• Jeff Passan clarified that Soto travels with the Mets on the team plane and has no private-jet provision in his 15-year, $765 million contract.
• Soto's contract includes family-oriented benefits such as charter flights for relatives, a luxury suite, premium seats, and security services.
• The incident highlights how quickly misinformation can spread in sports media, fueled by viral speculation and out-of-context reporting.
