Juan Soto

Juan Soto and the New York Mets are in agreement on a record-breaking 15-year, $765 million deal.

Fantasy Impact

Everyone knew it would be big, but this is next level. Soto is 26 years old, meaning this contract will run until his age-41 season. In fantasy, Soto remains a Top 10 pick until further notice, though what kind of team the Mets will have around him in the lineup will determine just how high his impact will get. While Citi Field is not as friendly as Yankee Stadium, fantasy managers can expect plenty of power and counting stats, and he remains the 1.1 in any OBP league. Beware the letdown that can happen after signing gigantic deals, but Soto is too good (and too young) to pass up in 2025.

Juan Soto is reportedly getting closer to making a decision on where he is signing in free agency.

Fantasy Impact

The winter meetings are set to begin on Monday next week. It is thought that Soto could make his decision during that time.

The Yankees have extended the one-year, $21.05 million qualifying offer to Juan Soto.

Fantasy Impact

Soto will likely decline the offer as he seeks a massive multi-year deal. While the Yankees are still in the mix to re-sign Soto, if he leaves in free agency they would receive a draft pick.

Juan Soto is missing from the lineup for the New York Yankees against the Pittsburgh Pirates Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Soto will take a seat on the bench for routine rest, with Alex Verdugo batting sixth and patrolling right field for manager Aaron Boone against the Pirates Sunday.

Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Yankees' 9-7 defeat to the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and a strikeout, contributing significantly to the offense despite the team's loss. Soto's season has been robust, marked by a .288 average and an impressive 41 homers. His ability to maintain a high wOBA (.420) and draw walks (129 this season) continues to make him a top-tier fantasy asset. While the Yankees struggled in this game, Soto's consistent power and on-base skills should keep him highly valuable in all fantasy formats.
