How the Mets Captured Juan Soto's Heart Over the Yankees

John Sterling, the former Yankees announcer, expressed confusion over Juan Soto's decision to sign with the Mets instead of staying with the Yankees, despite a lucrative offer. Soto chose a 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets, which included a $75 million signing bonus, over the Yankees' 16-year, $760 million offer. Sterling speculated on various factors influencing Soto's decision, such as team dynamics and personal preferences, but dismissed the idea that minor perks like a stadium suite were decisive.
