The New York Yankees have officially lost Juan Soto to the New York Mets, a tough situation for the franchise and fan base. After hope of the Yankees re-signing the best pure hitter in Major League Baseball, not only did he leave, but he left for the team’s biggest rival.
The Yankees weren’t too far off on Soto, with the Mets agreeing to a 15-year, $765 million deal. According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yankees offer for Soto was $760 million for 16 years.
The difference in that was $51 million AAV compared to $47.5 million AAV.
There was reason to believe Soto wanted the most money available, and he took just that.
