With most MLB teams playing their opening game of the 2025 season Thursday, a number of players will be suiting up for new teams for the first time in the regular season. Of that group, few debuts will be more hotly anticipated than that of Juan Soto.

Back in December, Soto signed a colossal 15-year, $765 million deal (the biggest in MLB history) with the New York Mets, taking his talents across the Big Apple after playing for the New York Yankees in 2024.

All eyes will be on Soto as he looks to embark on a memorable debut season with the Mets.
