Juan Soto’s Yankee Stadium Homecoming Sparks Bronx Fury—What Really Ignited the Crowd?
Over the winter, the New York Mets made Soto the richest professional athlete in North America, signing him to a 15-year, $765 million contract. It was the capstone of an evolution several years in the making for the Mets from charmingly hapless to heavy hitters that coincided with über-billionaire Steve Cohen buying the club. Of course, Soto could have been the richest professional athlete in North America who still played for the Yankees – reportedly he rejected their offer of a 16-year deal worth $760m. Whatever affinity he felt for the Yankees was worth less than $5m. Or maybe it was just New York that he loved.
