We're paying him something like 50% to 100% more than Shohei Ohtani (depending on the discount rate you use -- Ohtani's contract is much more backended than Soto's) -- even more if Juan Soto tries to opt out in 2029 and the Mets have to pay more on top of the $765mm to void his opt out.
If the Mets win it all this year, it will all be worth it. But I maintain my suspicion that Juan Soto is to 2025 as Kevin McReynolds is to 1986.

8-4 Mets! Juan Soto just capped a 6-run 4th inning with a 3-run home run. I'm going to watch every Mets game from this exact same spot for the rest of the year.
