It has been a wild offseason for the New York Mets with over $1 billion spent, and yet the team has been predicted to have only one All-Star representative.
Juan Soto put pen to paper on the largest contract in the history of professional sports, signing a 15-year, $765 million deal with New York. The superstar was just one piece of a fantastic offseason in Queens, with the team re-signing Pete Alonso and Sean Manaea, plus adding more new faces in Frankie Montas and Clay Holmes for the rotation and A.J. Minter and Griffin Canning for the bullpen.
