The New York Yankees were unable to retain slugger Juan Soto in free agency, as he reportedly signed with the New York Mets on Sunday night.
Soto inked a massive 15-year, $765 million contract that can reach above $800 million with escalators to join the Mets, which represents the largest deal in professional sports history (via ESPN's Jeff Passan).
The Yankees made a strong effort to bring him back, as Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported that they offered the star outfielder $760 million over 16 years.
