In particular, negotiations reportedly broke down as they differed over the service clause for the family at the stage of almost reaching a contract with the original New York Yankees.
According to the New York Daily News' report on the 15th (Korea time), Soto and the Yankees roughly agreed on the terms of $ 760 million in 16 years and $60 million in the Sining Bonus without a deferred payment. However, the negotiations went awry when Soto's mother, who participated in the negotiations directly, asked for a Yankee Stadium suite to be provided for 15 years.
At the time, Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner said, `We're giving you $760 million, can't we afford a suite ticket? We do not offer Yankee Stadium suites ($600,000 to $1 million)It is said that he expressed his intention to reject it to the effect of ".
In fact, the Yankees have never signed players such as Aaron Judge, Derek Jeter, and CC Savicia, and have never included conditions for providing Yankee Stadium suites. It was a moment when Soto's relationship with the Yankees broke down.
Shortly thereafter, Soto confirmed his trip to the Mets for 15 years and $765 million. Mets owner Steve Cohen promised Soto that he would provide 22 'Delta Club' seats and security services to Soto and his family as well as suites at Cityfield.

Regarding this, some say that the Yankees have become a blessing in disguise.
Another media outlet, Bleacher Report, said, `The Yankees failed to catch Soto, but signed starter Max Fried (who almost overspent money) and hired Milwaukee Brewers closer Devin Williams to strengthen their power.' `We can continue to compete for the top FA that is still in the market.'
A former major league manager said, `While Aaron Boone's job has become much easier, Carlos Mendoza Mets' job has become much more difficultHe also sarcastically criticized the Mets, who took Soto as if he were serving him 'Sangjeon (upper 典).
However, a sarcastic greeting against the Yankees, not the Mets, appears, drawing attention. It is David Otis, who is called the legend of the Yankees' rival Boston Red Sox.
Otis, the Boston team's special adviser, has reportedly participated in Soto negotiations with the team's leaders to help them sign the contract. However, Boston did not make it to the final stage of negotiations. While the Toronto Blue Jays and Yankees made a final offer of $760 million, the Boston and Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly failed to offer more than $700 million.

It is believed that the Yankees responded like this because they are Boston's biggest rival. It is also read that it is fortunate that he signed with the NL East Mets, not the Yankees.
Otis appeared on a local podcast on the 15th and said, `We wanted Soto to come to Boston, but unfortunately that didn't happen"If he had signed with us, he would have balanced the team well inside and outside the clubhouse like I would have done," he said, expressing regret.
He then said "The Soto contract is really huge. He deserves such a contract. We will continue to support him. What a great friend"I hope you enjoy Soto's baseball for a while.
