NEW YORK (AP) — Juan Soto will be introduced by the New York Mets at Citi Field on Thursday, a day after his record $765 million, 15-year contractwas finalized.
Soto chose the Mets’ offeron Sunday, deciding to leave the Yankees after helping them reach the World Series in his only season in the Bronx.
The 26-year-old’s contract value eclipsed Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million, 10-year dealwith the Los Angeles Dodgers last December. Its length topped Fernando Tatis Jr.’s $340 million, 14-year agreementwith San Diego that runs through 2034.
Soto has the right to become a free agent again after five years, but the Mets can void that right by adding $40 million to the final 10 years of the deal and raising the total to $805 million.
Soto batted .288 with 41 homers, 109 RBIs and 129 walks this year. The 26-year-old has a .285 batting average with 201 homers, 592 RBIs and 769 walks over seven major league seasons with Washington, San Diego and the Yankees.
