Juan Soto signed a ridiculous 15-year, $765 million deal with the New York Mets yesterday. Let that sink in.

And can you believe… there’s an opt-out clause after 2029 that allows Soto to earn an additional $40 million dollars if certain incentives are reached. You would think $765 million is enough of an incentive, but apparently not.

To put things in perspective, just remember that Jim Crane bought the Houston Astros in 2011 for $680 million!

Soto’s signing has moved the needle for World Series odds at BetOnline.ag, which can be found here.

Before the Soto signing by the Mets, the Yankees were the second favorites to win the World Series at 13/2 (+650). Now they are tied for fourth at 9/1.

The Mets were 14/1 before signing Soto, which was tied for sixth with the Orioles. Now they’re tied for second at 15/2 (+750) with the Braves.

What kind of numbers will Soto but up in Citi Field? The oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag think his home runs will take a dip this year without the short right field porch at Yankee Stadium.
