Soto Reveals Mets' $765M Deal Wasn't His Largest Free Agency Offer

Soto disclosed that at least one MLB team offered him more money than the record-breaking contract he signed with the Mets, leaving fans speculating about the mystery bidder.

Juan Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets in December, setting a record for total contract value and average annual value in professional sports.
In a recent interview, Soto revealed that the Mets were not the highest bidders, with at least one other team offering more money during his free agency process.
The Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, and Blue Jays were among the five finalists for Soto, but details about the higher offer, including the team and specific terms, remain undisclosed.
The Mets' deal includes a $75 million signing bonus, a fifth-year opt-out clause, and family-focused perks such as a private suite at Citi Field and enhanced security services.
The full interview, set to release Sunday, is expected to shed light on why Soto chose the Mets over a potentially more lucrative offer.
