The richest contract in Major League Baseball history was finalized Sunday night, as Juan Soto landed a 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets.
Soto’s agreement surpassed the previous record held by Shohei Ohtani, who signed a 10-year, $700 million deal with the Dodgers last offseason, making this a historic moment.
While the Los Angeles Dodgers expressed interest in Soto, they capped their offer at $600 million and were never favored to secure his services.
The addition of Soto by the Mets has shifted the focus of teams like the Yankees and Red Sox toward market options like Teoscar Hernández.
