Juan Soto’s historic $765 million, 15-year contract with the New York Mets, finalized on Wednesday, includes several special perks that highlight the team’s commitment to the All-Star outfielder. As part of the deal, Soto will receive free use of a luxury suite and up to four premium tickets behind home plate for both regular-season and postseason home games. Additionally, the Mets will provide personal team security for Soto and his family during all spring training and regular-season home and road games, covering all related expenses.
The contract also ensures Soto will retain his iconic No. 22, which he wore with the Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres, and New York Yankees. The Mets will assist Soto’s family with in-season travel arrangements and offer eight types of performance-based bonuses as part of the agreement.
Soto’s introduction as the newest Mets player will take place on Thursday afternoon at Citi Field. Mets owners Steve and Alex Cohen expressed their excitement, calling the signing “a seminal moment in franchise history” and highlighting Soto’s “generational talent” and championship experience as key additions to the team.
