Mets sign Juan Soto 15-year, $765 million

[BMR Genie]

he has a chance to opt out but the mets can block that by adding 4 million dollars per year to the remaining 10 years. so its more like a team option than it is a player opt out

and no if he opts out the contract would end after just the 5 years and he would be a free agent again

I see. Thanks, Sharp.

I like this contract and hope to see him and the Mets secure a ring within those 5 yrs.

I did not read everything so I am asking this:

If he chooses to leave after 5yrs, is he still gonna get paid yearly till the end of the contract? till 15 yrs is over?

Not sure.

Insanity !

Giving a human being $765 million to hit a little white ball.

Other options :

Feed every starving human being on this planet for a year ?
Buy 5,000 Ferraris ?

Not sure.

I think he would possibly still collect some of the deferred money that was tied to those 1st 5 years. the contract does seem bit frontloaded as well with like 300M of the 750 paid in those first 5 years

Pretty much....
