It's Juan Soto to the Mets via the richest known deal in the history of sports.
The New York Yankees slugger received the most anticipated payday of the offseason with a 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets, according to MLB Network's Jon Heyman and ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Shohei Ohtani's 10-year, $700 million deal shattered all conceptualizations of how much a player can make last offseason, but his record stood for only one year. He will still make more than Soto on an average annual value basis, but not if you account for the heavy deferrals in his contract.
