Revealing the actual perks Juan Soto did and did not receive in historic Mets pact
Juan Soto's Mets Contract Details
Juan Soto's $765 million contract, the largest in sports history, includes several perks. These perks include a luxury suite, four premium tickets, and significant awards bonuses ($500,000 for a first MVP award, $1 million for subsequent MVP awards). However, the contract does not include private plane flights or clothing for Soto's family, contrary to online reports.
Guaranteed Jersey Number
Interestingly, the contract guarantees Soto the number 22 jersey. This explains why he gifted a $92,000 Chevy Tahoe to teammate Brett Baty for giving up the number.
Other Notes
The article also briefly mentions the Baltimore Orioles' initial four-year, $180 million contract offer to Corbin Burnes, as reported by Roch Kubatko of MASN.

The deal, interestingly, also guaranteed him uniform No. 22.
So, his gift of a $92K Chevy Tahoe to Brett Baty for 22 was nice but technically unnecessary.
