Many people around baseball were still arriving in Texas on Sunday evening when the news began rippling through the industry. The details emerged rapidly, filling the gaps of a long anticipated marriage between one of this generation’s finest hitters and perhaps sports’ most eager team. The Mets on Sunday agreed to sign Juan Soto to a 15 year, 765 million dollar contract, by far the largest pact in Major League Baseball history, which was finalized on Wednesday after a physical. The deal contains a full no trade clause, a 75 million signing bonus, an opt out after five seasons and no deferred money. The Mets will have the ability to void Soto’s opt out clause after the 2029 season if they boost the average annual value of the final 10 years of his deal from 51 million to 55 million.
