His final answer was The Mets
Happy Monday.
Wait, if Juan Soto’s 15-year, $765 million contract wasn’t stunning enough, it can actually be worth $805 million.
If the Mets want to void Soto’s opt out after the 2029 season, they must increase his annual salary from $51 million to $55 million beginning in 2030.— Bob Nightengale (@bnightengale.bsky.social) 2024-12-09T04:18:24.701Z
The Red Sox weren’t just “considering” but made a serious offer:
According to MassLive’s Sean McAdam on Twitter, #RedSox last, best offer on Juan Soto was about $700 million for 15 years.
BOS seriously contended, but NYM owner Steve Cohen was not to be denied.

Steve Cohen wants to be Dodgers East (weren’t the Dodgers Yankees West? we’re losing the plot here) and he’s building his team around Juan Soto.
Tyler O’Neill signed with the Baltimore Orioles.
Max Fried and Corbin Burnes are still out there.
Let’s do this, Breslow!
