After signing the biggest deal in baseball history this offseason, New York Mets outfielder Juan Soto is projected to join an elite group in baseball history in 2025. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com: Juan Soto is projected for 137 walks per ZiPS that’d be his 5th season with 120+ walks most career seasons with 120+ walks: Barry Bonds: 11 Babe Ruth: 10 Ted Williams: 8 Eddie Yost: 8 Juan Soto: 4 Soto signed a 15-year deal worth $765 million which could tether him to the Mets for the rest of his career.

NEW YORK — Sean Manaea was taken by the New York Mets’ family feeling, just like Juan Soto. “I thought that it was a perfect fit. I know Talat, my wife now, she loved it on the family side, as well,” Manaea said Monday during a Zoom call to discuss his $75 million, three-year contract with the Mets that was announced Dec. 27 .

With the ink finally dry on Juan Soto's 15-year, $765 million contract, there is plenty of buzz and excitement in the Big Apple discussing just how far the New York Mets can go with Soto on their roster.

The Dodgers won the World Series in 2024 and they just might win it again in 2025, but the Mets may have something to say about that.

In the immediate aftermath of Juan Soto choosing the Mets, Brian Cashman addressed media and scanned through his roster for areas of need. The Yankees could look to upgrade at plenty of offensive spots to compensate for the run creation they had just lost.
