NEW YORK -- The New York Mets will officially introduce superstar outfielder Juan Soto today at Citi Field, after signing the four-time MLB All-Star to the largest contract in professional sports history.
Soto agreed to a 15-year, $765 million contract with New York, breaking the record set by Shohei Ohtani's 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year.
Soto, 26, may opt out after the 2029 season unless the Mets increase his average annual salary by $4 million at that time, bringing the grand total to $805 million.
