After signing a record-breaking $765 million contract to join the New York Mets, Juan Soto has thanked new teammate Brett Baty for allowing him to wear No. 22 by gifting him a brand new Chevy Tahoe. The exchange took place during Mets spring training in Port St.

After the New York Mets signed Juan Soto to the largest contract in MLB history, he made another deal with 25-year-old infielder Brett Baty. Soto has worn No. 22 during the entirety of his MLB career with the Yankees, Padres, and Nationals. But that number was already taken by Baty, who has played for the Mets since 2022.

Juan Soto used a small slice of his $765 million contract to surprise New York Mets teammate Brett Baty with a new SUV on Thursday as a reward for giving up his No. 22 jersey number.
