The New York Mets landed the biggest fish in the Major League Baseball free agent market… the biggest fish ever in any free agent market: Juan Soto.
Through a historic contract, the largest in professional sports ever, Soto inked a 15-year. $765 million deal with the Mets. Soto decided to stay in New York, but he skipped across town and left the Yankees for their Subway Series rival.
Speculation around the 26-year-old has swirled for months with the Mets very much in the picture the whole time.
