It's tough to win MVP in the league where Shohei Ohtani is playing. Now, Juan Soto is returning to the National League after signing with the New York Mets on a record 15-year, $765 million deal.
Soto's record, the richest in the majors, has several stipulations that could help him earn more. According to MLB insider Jon Heyman, he is eligible for awards bonuses, such as $500,000 for his first MVP win, $350,000 for finishing second, $150,000 for finishing third through fifth and $1 million for each subsequent MVP win.
Additionally, Soto will have access to a luxury suite for home games, four premium seats at home games and security provided for him and his family both at home and on the road. The contract also guarantees his preferred uniform number, 22, and a full no-trade clause.
