Juan Soto Unveils Surprising Truth as Mets’ Offer Falls Short of the Biggest

Juan Soto revealed that the New York Mets did not present him with the highest offer during free agency. In December, Soto signed a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets, making it the largest contract in sports history.

While this substantial amount of money is a major commitment and comes with the inherent risk of injury, Soto’s star power, potential to compete for the NL MVP throughout the duration of the contract, and the Mets’ position as strong World Series contenders make it possible that this deal could prove to be a bargain in the future.

The pursuit of Soto was one of the offseason’s biggest storylines, with the Mets, New York Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, and Los Angeles Dodgers considered the main contenders. Final offers from only the Mets and Yankees were revealed, with the Yankees reportedly offering a 16-year, $760 million deal.

However, during a recent appearance on the Abriendo Sports podcast, Soto disclosed that the Mets didn’t provide the most lucrative offer. “The Mets didn’t offer the most money,” Soto said in Spanish, as translated by Mike Rodriguez. He added, “Some teams offered more.”

Soto’s mention of “teams” offering more suggests that at least two other clubs outbid the Mets. While it’s unclear if this includes one of the five finalists, it’s evident that financial considerations were not the only factor in Soto’s decision to join the Mets.
