O/T - Juan Soto - 15 years/$765M with the Mets

It is kind of odd that he signed with the Mets when the Yankees offered basically the same deal. He was just in the WS with the Yankees and has Judge hitting behind him.

Apparently there were some subtle differences that made the Mets deal worth somewhat more even though the numbers appear to be very close.

I read that the Mets would allow Soto to have his family in the clubhouse that seemed to be important to him.
