New York Mets Owner Steve Cohen, David Stearns, Juan Soto, & Scott Boras
The chase for Juan Soto is over after he and the New York Mets came to an agreement on a monster contract. The four-time All-Star agreed to a 15-year, $765 million deal earlier this week.
Soto now holds the largest contract in league history. Shohei Ohtani broke that record last offseason with his 10-year $700 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers but now sits in second place.
That is quite the payday, but owner Steve Cohen believes the value is fair. During Soto's introductory press conference, he spoke on what the slugger brings to this organization and how he sees his team moving forward.
"It's obviously a huge move. I think it just puts an accent on what we're trying to do. I mean, I said it, it accelerates our goal of winning championships," said Cohen.
