NEW YORK (PIX11) -- The New York Mets have a new outfielder!
Juan Soto has reached a 15-year, $765 million agreement with the Mets, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement, first reported by the New York Post, was subject to a successful physical.
The signing is the largest deal in sports history, eclipsing Shohei Ohtani's 10-year, $700 million contract agreement with the Los Angeles Dodgers last offseason. That agreement included $680 million in deferred payments and is valued at just under $46.1 million for baseball's luxury tax.
Soto’s agreement, struck with a team controlled by MLB's wealthiest owner Steve Cohen, does not include deferred money, the person said.
Soto has a .285 batting average with 201 homers, 592 RBIs and 769 walks over seven major league seasons.
