The Red Sox reportedly offered Juan Soto a massive contract worth at least $700 million over 15 years, but he ended up signing with the Mets for $765 million.
Despite making a hefty offer, the Red Sox began to resign themselves to the fact that Soto was likely headed to a New York team throughout the day.
Soto's new contract with the Mets stands as the largest deal in professional sports history, surpassing even the Yankees' final offer of $760 million for 16 years.
Having made significant recruitment efforts for Soto, the Red Sox were looking to enhance their team after missing the playoffs in five of the last six seasons.
