How Juan Soto, Steve Cohen celebrated their $765 million Mets pact in NYC
NY Post
The Mets’ Juan Soto celebration on Thursday went beyond Citi Field.
Owner Steve Cohen took the 26-year-old and his family out for steaks at Benjamin Prime in Manhattan after unveiling his new $765 million outfielder, according to TMZ Sports.
After getting started with a mozzarella and tomato salad, Soto went for the ribeye cooked “medium-plus,” per the report.
The roughly three-hour meal was capped with a themed cake and included a champagne toast.
The two sides are enjoying the honeymoon phase after Soto chose the Mets’ 15-year contract in free agency over a return to the Yankees, who offered a 16-year, $760 million contract with a $60 million signing bonus; he received a $75 million signing bonus with the Mets.
Soto also got a Citi Field suite for his family included in the deal, something he would’ve had to pay for with the Yankees, who have set that precedent with Derek Jeter and Aaron Judge.

If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
PORT ST. LUCIE — The Mets’ 2025 failing (one of them anyway) might be their big strength now.
