Fans reacted as former Yankees RF Juan Soto has signed a blockbuster $765 million over 15 years with their cross city rivals NY Mets. The deal takes him past Shohei Ohtani’s $700 million deal with the Dodgers as the biggest contract in US sports history.
For a long time, many ballclubs were trying to lure the Dominican ace during the ongoing offseason, but he decided to sign with the Mets, which has left Yankees fans miffed with the outfielder.
Some fans burned Juan Soto’s No. 22 pinstripe jersey, calling him a “sellout” for signing with the Mets despite producing an iconic season with the Yankees in 2024.
Watch the video here:
Soto had signed as an international free agent with the Nationals in July 2015 and made his big league debut in 2018. A year later, he won his maiden World Series with the Nationals. He was traded to the Padres in an eight-player deal soon after the 2022 Midsummer Classic.
He played in San Diego for 1.5 years before he was traded to the Bronx Bombers in a seven-player trade deal. He signed a $31 million one year contract with the Yanks for the 2024 MLB season to avoid salary arbitrations.
His impressive rise in the Yankees roster was exemplary. Juan Soto played an amazing second fiddle to captain Aaron Judge as the Yanks won the AL pennant after 14 years and reached the Fall Classic for the 41st time, losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers in five games.
New Mets hotshot Juan Soto’s 2024 season by the numbers
Soto looked like a man on a mission since stepping on the plate in the Yanks’ iconic pinstripe jersey. He quickly became a fan favorite in the Bronx after stringing up some amazing at-bats and helping the ballclub to some important wins.
He finished the regular season with a .288 batting average, 41 home runs, 109 RBIs and .989 OPS en route winning a fifth silver slugger award and making the All-MLB First Team for the third time in his illustrious MLB career.
Now, Juan Soto has moved to the Mets and will likely stay there for a while, which will make the Subway Series a fiesty affair to watch, as Yankees fans will remember the generational talent they lost to their cross-city rivals.
