Juan Soto signs a historical contract: $ 765 million for the Mets!

The Dominican baseball star Juan Soto becomes the most expensive athlete in the world! The 26-year-old outfield has signed a record-breaking 15-year contract for an incredible $ 765 million (725 million euros) with the New York Mets. This deal puts all previous contracts in American professional sports. Both the Major League Baseball (MLB) and ESPN confirmed the agreement and described them as the largest contract in sports history. Previously, Soto was active as Free Agent and most recently played for the New York Yankees, where he achieved a personal best last season with 41 Homeruns.

With this fabulous contract from the Mets, Soto even exceeds Shoei ohtanis ten -year contract over $ 700 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers, which was signed last year. The annual average of $ 51 million for Soto is a record in the MLB, and in contrast to Ohtanis Deal, it does not contain any money. Soto not only shows his skills on the field, but also secures a long -term future in New York, since this contract is expected to bind it to the METS up to the age of 40, unless he uses the opportunity to end the contract after 2029

a big step for the Mets

The change from Soto to the Mets means a big step for the club and its owner Steve Cohen, who is ready to invest large sums to strengthen the team. Previously, the Yankees had made an offer of $ 760 million for $ 16, which roughly corresponds to the amount of SOTOS contract, but with a lower annual average of $ 47.5 million. The METS not only have left behind the Yankees, but also other leading economically strong teams in order to win one of the best rackets in the history of the game. Soto has already played two World Series in his previous career and impressed with a career surgery of 0.927.
