Mets' Juan Soto arrives, happy his long-time future secured

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- More than two months after signing the richest contract in professional sports history, Juan Soto reported to work Sunday for the first time as a member of the New York Mets not yet having fully digested the life-changing, $765 million commitment.

"Not yet," Soto said with a smile. "I'm still thinking about it and everything. It's unbelievable. I'm really happy for that. I'm really happy to know where I'm going to be for the next 15 years."

Soto arrived for his first day of spring training a little after 7 a.
