Juan Soto will remain in New York, but he won’t pitch for the Yankees.
The New York Mets have long been considered the frontrunners to sign the 26-year-old superstar, but they instead signed him to an MLB-record 15-year, 7.65-year contract, according to multiple reports billion dollar contract.
Last offseason, Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers broke the record for the largest deal in league history. Now, Soto crushes it and remains in Queens for the foreseeable future.
This is a development story. There will be more to come.
