This is a pretty good breakdown of the contract...

Obviously huge risk with the deal, but (a) there's no cap, and (b) it's not my money. If the question is whether the Mets could have used the money elsewhere to make the team better, that's certainly possible. But, again, there's no cap. By Fangraphs measures, Soto was worth $65M last year, and $54M and $48M the two previous years. He's only 26 now, and while he most likely will not be very productive at the back end of the contract, $51M won't be worth nearly as much by then (as hard as that is for me to believe).

The Soto contact may be one of the dumbest things I've seen in business

When Bobby Bonilla gets his last $1.2M check from the Mets, he'll be 72**

Inflated contracts are dumb for owners who can’t afford top market

Someone will win the lottery next week to match it
TheNuke • 12/10/24 10:43 PM ET
Seriously? He's one of the best hitters in the game and he just turned 26.
No Clue • 12/11/24 08:56 AM ET
Money would be better spent on a few players and overall get more productio
TheNuke • 12/12/24 12:03 AM ET
I think it's more the length than the worth. Judge's is too long too.

Why is it dumb? Cohen is worth over $20B, there is no salary cap...
BB Hokie • 12/10/24 08:51 PM ET
15 years for a 26 yr old who isn't a good fielder and will probably

I did not know he had an opt-out clause after 5 years, that's the first

"Worth the money" is a subjective term

Soto is pretty much a douche**

The Yankees offer was almost the same the Mets were not an outlier
HokieJamie • 12/10/24 08:45 PM ET
Isn't that the largest contract in MLB history?**
EDGEMAN • 12/10/24 08:49 PM ET
