Juan Soto's Mets Move: The Offer Yankees Couldn't Match

The New York Mets secured Juan Soto by offering a suite at Citi Field for his family, a perk the Yankees refused to match. Mets owner Steve Cohen included the suite in Soto's deal, demonstrating commitment despite its high cost. The Yankees, adhering to a precedent where even stars like Aaron Judge pay for their own suites, offered a discounted rate instead. Ultimately, the Yankees' $760 million bid over 16 years fell $5 million short of the Mets' offer, swaying Soto's decision.
