It seems Juan Soto is fitting in just fine with his Mets teammates and made sure to pay the generosity back on Thursday after he was gifted the No. 22 jersey, previously held by Brett Baty.
Juan Soto’s record-breaking deal with the New York Mets included keeping his No. 22, even if it was costly. In securing the superstar’s spot in Queens, infielder Brett Baty gave him the number.
After securing the richest contract in professional sports history -- a 15-year, $765 million deal-- Juan Soto is putting his money into continuing his legacy and taking care of his teammates.
