The Atlanta Falcons lost by three touchdowns, the Atlanta Hawks lost by 30 points and the Atlanta Braves welcomed outfielder Juan Soto back into the National League East.
To cap a tough day for Atlanta sports, the New York Mets signed Soto to a 15-year, $765 million contract, the largest deal in professional sports history, according to ESPN. The Mets won the race for Soto, who also received a 16-year, $760 million offer from the New York Yankees.
But ultimately, the 26-year-old Soto will return to the NL East, where he spent the first four-and-a-half years of his MLB career as a member of the Washington Nationals.
