It is the largest deal in professional sports history as well as the biggest signing in the history of the Met organization.
The contract also has no deferrals and includes an opt-out after five seasons.
Soto is only 26 years old and is a 4x All-Star, World Series Champion with the Washington Nationals in 2019, 5x Silver Slugger Award Winner and NL Batting Champion.
He has hit.285 with 201 homers in his career and also has more career walks (769) than strikeouts (696) as well as hitting .281 with a .927 OPS in 191 postseason plate appearances.
Soto and SS Francisco Lindor will help form the top of the order for years to come.
It will be exciting to see what other moves Owner Steve Cohen and President of Baseball Operations make to surround Soto and Lindor with in the rest of the lineup.
