Superstar outfielder Juan Soto and the New York Mets are in agreement on a 15-year, $765 million contract, sources told ESPN on Sunday night, the largest deal in professional sports history.
The deal includes an opt-out after five years and no deferred money, sources said. If Soto chooses not to opt out, his deal will go up $4 million per year — from $51 million to $55 million — for the remainder of the contract, meaning the total value could exceed $800 million.
The contract also includes a $75 million signing bonus, sources said.
