According to Jeff Passan, superstar outfielder Juan Soto has secured a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets, making it the largest deal in professional sports history. This groundbreaking contract is set to transform Major League Baseball and cement Soto’s status as one of the sport’s top talents.

The deal, as reported by Passan, is a game-changer, with no deferred money and potential escalators that could push the total value beyond $800 million. Soto’s contract surpasses all previous MLB agreements, making him the highest-paid athlete in professional sports.

At just 26 years old, Soto is already one of the league’s most accomplished players. His outstanding 2024 season, which included a WAR of 7.9, a .989 OPS, 41 home runs, and a .288 batting average, proves why he is deserving of such a monumental contract. Over his career, Soto has posted a 36.4 WAR, 201 home runs, and a .953 OPS.

Here’s a closer look at Soto’s impressive stats:

2024 Season:

  • WAR: 7.9
  • AB: 576
  • Hits: 166
  • Home Runs: 41
  • Batting Average: .288
  • Runs: 128
  • RBIs: 109
  • Stolen Bases: 7
  • OBP: .419
  • SLG: .569
  • OPS: .989
  • OPS+: 178

Career Stats:

  • WAR: 36.4
  • AB: 3,280
  • Hits: 934
  • Home Runs: 201
  • Batting Average: .285
  • Runs: 655
  • RBIs: 592
  • Stolen Bases: 57
  • OBP: .421
  • SLG: .532
  • OPS: .953
  • OPS+: 160

With this historic contract, Soto’s future with the Mets looks incredibly promising. Locked in for 15 years, he is expected to be a cornerstone of the team and one of MLB‘s leading figures for the next decade and a half. Mets fans are eagerly anticipating how Soto’s presence will elevate the team, potentially bringing a World Series title to New York.

This landmark deal not only secures Soto’s place in baseball history but also sets a new benchmark for future contracts, raising the standard for elite players with his power, on-base skills, and consistent performance.
