Several reports say that Soto’s 15-year deal includes a $75 million signing bonus, the option to get out of the deal after five seasons, and no deferred money. If the deal goes through, it could be worth more than $800 million, making Soto one of the highest-paid sports in the world.
As word of the deal spread, baseball fans used social media to say what they thought. Some people were amazed at how big the deal was, while others made jokes about the huge numbers that were involved. Someone on Twitter joked that Soto’s $51 million pay a year was enough to buy a whole team.
Even though people had different opinions, Soto’s deal shows how well his career has been going so far. He is only 26 years old, but he has already become one of the best players in baseball. He has hit 201 home runs and won many awards, including the 2020 batting title and five Silver Slugger Awards.
Fans and experts will be waiting with bated breath to see how Soto does with the pressure of his record-breaking deal as he gets ready to join the New York Mets. But one thing is for sure: Juan Soto has made a deal that will go down in sports history for years to come.
