If Juan Soto's agreement that he'll be receiving from the New York Mets– 15 years and a tremendous $765 million– left you speechless … well, you're not the only one.
Due to the fact that when you take a look at the deal he received from his previous group– the crosstown New York Yankees– it makes you question: was everything about the cash? (Maybe?) Existed something he didn't like about the Yankees? Was the pitch from the Mets THAT great?
The reported deal per Jon Heyman was this: 16 years and $760 million. It was THAT close. An additional year and somewhat less cash (what's $5 million when you're getting THAT much money?).
Yeah! Can't wait to hear what Soto needs to state about that.
Yankees bid $760M for 16 years. Soto is a Met.
