Jon Heyman reports the Yankees offered Juan Soto $760 million.
The superstar outfielder agreed to a record-setting 15-year, $765 million contract to officially put an end to his free agency saga and make the move to Queens.. The NY Post's MLB insider reports that the Yankees submitted an offer to Soto worth $760 million over 16 seasons. The 26-year-old ultimately chose to take the deal from Steve Cohen and the Mets, where he figures to spend the rest of his career.
Soto's deal reportedly does not include any deferred money, so he'll collect the total value of the contract by its end in 2041. This past year, Soto launched a career-high 41 home runs to go with 109 RBIs and a .989 OPS in what ended up being his lone season as a Yankee.Karl Rasmussen is a staff writer for the Breaking and Trending News team for Sports Illustrated.
