Juan Soto reveals other MLB teams’ offers eclipsed Mets
MLB sensation Juan Soto made headlines just over two months ago when he signed a groundbreaking contract with the New York Mets. The 15-year, $765 million deal was the most lucrative in the history of professional sports, solidifying Soto’s future with the team.
Recently, Soto joined the Mets in Florida for spring training, where he reflected on the monumental contract. “I’m still thinking about it and everything. It’s unbelievable,” he shared. “I’m really happy for that. I’m really happy to know where I’m going to be for the next 15 years.”
Despite the staggering amount offered by the Mets, Soto disclosed that other teams had presented even higher offers. “The Mets didn’t offer the most money,” he revealed. “Some teams offered more.” Ultimately, Soto cited the culture of the Mets as a deciding factor in his decision to join the team.
During his time at spring training, Soto made a heartwarming gesture towards teammate Brett Baty. Soto, who wanted to wear his beloved No. 22 jersey, gifted Baty a new SUV to convince him to switch to No. 7. Baty, who had been driving the same car since high school, was overwhelmed by the gesture. “I really appreciate the number,” Soto expressed. “It’s the first one I ever wore.”
As Soto prepares for the upcoming season with the Mets, fans are eager to see him in action. His presence on the team is sure to bring excitement and energy to the field. Stay tuned for more updates on Juan Soto and the New York Mets as the season unfolds.
