The New York Mets haven’t won a World-Series title since 1986, but still continue to work towards building a championship team no matter the cost. The record-setting contract that Juan Soto received shook up the whole world, as news of his 15-year $765 million dollar contract sent a shockwave across baseball. As a Pirates’ fan, I knew we had no chance at landing Soto during his free-agency talks, especially for that price. While I never expect to land the biggest fish on the market, I was shocked to learn that with this one contract, the Mets have already committed more money to one player than the entire Pirates’ payroll over the past ten years, as the Buccos remain bottom feeders.
Juan Soto strikes big as Pirates keep striking out
