In his recent “The Mayor’s Office” episodes, Casey has discussed the player movement around the league and touched on Soto’s impact. During those segments, he provided some dubious rationalization for Yankees fans on why losing Soto, who got 15 years and $765 million from the Mets, won’t hurt so much.

A free suite isn’t the only thing Juan Soto’s family is getting from the Mets after he signed a 15-year, $765 million contract.

Juan Soto picked the Mets over the Yankees this offseason, prompting many to wonder whether it was only about the money.

Through a historic contract, the largest in professional sports ever, Soto inked a 15-year. $765 million deal with the Mets. Soto decided to stay in New York, but he skipped across town and left the Yankees for their Subway Series rival. Speculation around the 26-year-old has swirled for months with the Mets very much in the picture the whole time.

Steve Cohen had lofty goals for the Mets when he bought the team from the Wilpon family late in 2020. Slowly, he’s delivering on those goals.

The Yankees are no strangers to navigating high-stakes changes, and the 2025 season will be no different. With Juan Soto heading to the Mets in a blockbuster deal, the Yankees are left retooling their roster to maintain their competitive edge.
