Mets owner Steve Cohen has got the biggest fish of them all, Dominican star Juan Soto, who aggred to the biggest contract in US sports history. The deal stands at a whopping $765 million over 15 years, which takes him well past the $700 million contract signed by Shohei Ohtani with the Los Angeles Dodgers last offseason.
Many ballclubs were ready to splurge big for the 26-year-old lefty slugger, but Cohen beat the competition for Soto's signature. Having failed to sign any notable new faces to rebuild the roster in the past two seasons, Soto's signing sets the tone for Cohen and the Mets.
MLB sporstcaster Howie Rose shared his thoughts about the sensational Juan Soto deal to the Mets, on X:
"This is perhaps the most unique moment in the history of the New York Mets. I told you from day one that Steve Cohen was not about to be the little brother in town. He was taking dead aim at the Yankees and everyone else. It’s on."
