Juan Soto has made headlines with his groundbreaking 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, marking a historic moment in Major League Baseball. This deal surpasses Shohei Ohtani's previous record and is notable for having no deferred payments.

Soto’s journey to this contract included rejecting a significant offer from Washington and navigating trades to San Diego and the New York Yankees before hitting free agency at just 26 years old.
