Juan Soto will reportedly wear No. 22 with the New York Mets after all.
Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reported Wednesday that Soto's deal with the National League East team allows for him to wear the only jersey number he has ever known in Major League Baseball.
That is notable because Christian Arnold of the New York Post explained in a Tuesday story that Soto might have to work out a deal with Brett Baty to take the No. 22.
What's more, a rule in the collective bargaining agreement stated that Soto or someone on his behalf would have needed to purchase the existing inventory of Baty No.
