A record-breaking 15-year contract 'might get the deal done' for Juan Soto to rejoin the New York Yankees this winter, per a new projection.
The New York Yankees are celebrating a unanimous Most Valuable Player Award for their franchise star Aaron Judge after a stellar 2024 season.But if they want to help Judge repeat that success and see the team return to the World Series in 2025, they have some serious work to do.The Yankees' second-best hitter from this past season, Juan Soto, is now a free agent and he's been hearing pitches from big-market teams like the New York Mets and Boston Red Sox this winter.
With about $180 million coming off of his team's books for 2025, Cohen has an ability to push Soto's contract to startling highs.'I think Cohen is going to drive the price up, so something like $707 million over 15 years might get the deal done for Soto and the Yankees,' Thosar added.Such a deal would grant Soto the largest contract value in sports history, eclipsing the $700 million deal that Shohei Ohtani signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers last offseason.
