Soto reaches record deal with Mets
MLB.com is keeping track of the latest news and rumors surrounding Juan Soto.
www.mlb.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Juan Soto has remained a high-profile free agent in late 2024 and into 2025, with multiple major-market teams reportedly in the mix and offers approaching record levels. This has kept Soto in frequent media spotlight as teams jockey for position ahead of the Winter Meetings.[1][4]
- By December 2024, reports indicated Soto and his representatives were near a decision, with strong public attention on teams including the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and others, and speculation that a decision could come quickly.[4][1]
- MLB.com and related outlets tracked ongoing rumors and confirmed that a landmark deal was in play, including discussions that Soto could land a record contract, ultimately leading to the Mets signing him in a high-dollar, long-term arrangement in December 2024, per multiple outlets.[2][3]
- Since then, coverage has shifted to Soto’s performance with the Mets and surrounding team news, injuries, and roster moves, but the most definitive, long-term development reported was the 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets finalized in December 2024, per MLB.com and CBS-based MLB coverage in late 2024 and early 2025.[3][5][2]
