Juan Soto's stay in the Bronx lasted just one year after the superstar outfielder agreed to a deal with the New York Mets in free agency.
Per ESPN's Jeff Passan, Soto will sign a seven-year, $765 million contract to join the Mets, marking the largest contract in professional sports history. Passan added that the deal has no deferments and includes escalators that can reach above $800 million.
When the New York Yankees acquired Soto from the San Diego Padres in December 2023, they were able to sign him to a one-year, $31 million deal to avoid arbitration.
