NEW YORK -- The New York Mets are officially introducing superstar Juan Soto today at Citi Field, after the four-time MLB All-Star outfielder signed the largest contract in professional sports history.
Soto agreed to a 15-year, $765 million contract to play in Queens, breaking the record set by Shohei Ohtani's 10-year, $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year.
The 26-year-old 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.
