Juan Soto's Mega Deal Sparks Debate on MLB Spending
TL;DR Summary
Juan Soto has signed a record-breaking $765 million, 15-year contract with the New York Mets, making it the largest in pro sports history. Padres manager Mike Shildt humorously compared Soto's $51 million annual salary to Judge Judy's $47 million earnings in 2012, highlighting the magnitude of the deal. Soto, who had an impressive season with a .989 OPS and 41 home runs, is expected to boost the Mets' lineup, aiming for their first World Series win since 1986.
