Since the Dominican baseball player Juan Soto rejected an offer of more than 500 million dollars made by his former team, the Washington Nationals, he has been the most publicized player in the media, even more than the Japanese Ohtani, this young 26 year old player left via trade in 2022 from the Nationals to the Padres of San Diego, where he played a season and a half, leaving good numbers, but nothing extraordinary, His presence could not contribute almost nothing in the aspirations of the religious to reach the postseason, during the dead season of 2024, Soto went from the Padres to the New York Yankees, in this team, if he could explode offensively, with more than 40 homers and over 100 pushed, he was key in the classification of the team and helped them to become the champions of the American League, unfortunately they could not start in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

At the end of the World Series again Soto became news, since he would officially be a free agent, from that moment speculation began and even bets, there was talk of big teams interested in the Dominican slugger, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Yankees and Mets, were the teams with the greatest chance of keeping the coveted player, in the last week it sounded strongly, that Soto was very close to signing with the Boston team, But a few days ago the son of manager Carlos Mendoza, said on a social network that the Quisqueyano had signed with the Mets, this made viral what the boy had said, perhaps this made the announcement by the Metropolitans, which on the night of Sunday December 8 made official the signing of the player, and that this contract is the most lucrative in the history of the MLB.

In the statement made by the Mets franchise, it was learned that the pact between the set and the player is 15 years for the modest figure of 765 million dollars, that would put him to earn per season 51 million, per month would be about 8 and a half million dollars, if we take that salary per game, would be about 315 thousand dollars per commitment, it is really impressive, if we divide that by turn at bat, It is impressive what this player is going to earn, but things do not stop there, when Soto completes 5 years of his contract he could get out of it and look for more money with another team, if the Mets want to keep him, they should increase the salary per season from 51 to 54 million dollars, but this will depend on the future campaigns of the Dominican, what is clear is that the future of Juan Soto is assured.
Ambos peloteros batearon más de 40 jonrones, empujaron más de 100 carreras, defensivamente Santander tienen más potencia en su brazo, pero seguramente su firma no será mayor de 120 millones de dólares, es indudable que el marketing que se le ha dado al jugador nacido en la República Dominicana ha sido fundamental a la hora de estampar su firma con los Mets, otro factor que ayudo a Soto a tener semejante contrato, fue la vitrina que tuvo con los Yankees.

This hiring has generated a shower of comments and a lot of criticism, as it points to an overvaluation of the player, in my personal opinion, I believe that Soto is a key player, but it seems to me that this contract is very high, if we look at the offensive line is very similar to that of the Venezuelan Santander, who is also a free agent and will surely end up signing with the Yankees and thus fill the void left by Soto.Both players hit more than 40 home runs, pushed more than 100 runs, defensively Santander has more power in his arm, but surely his signature will not be more than 120 million dollars, there is no doubt that the marketing that has been given to the player born in the Dominican Republic has been fundamental at the time of signing with the Mets, another factor that helped Soto to have such a contract, was the showcase he had with the Yankees.
