How a High-School Dropout Became Baseball’s Richest Player

$765 million for 3rd place in the NLEast. Crazy.

Been a die hard Mets fan happy with this signing hope we sign pete also can't wait till the season starts let's go Mets

Juan Soto deal is so trash.

It’s funny, the Dodgers signed Snell and everyone’s begging for a salary cap. The Mets signed Soto and suddenly it’s the greatest thing to happen to the sport. Overpay!

“High school dropout” is incredibly misleading considering that those high schools are player development schools whose sole purpose is getting the players to sign at age 16.

School is bull#### anyway so i dont blame him

From 440 to 765 is crazy

I love it. If the Mets can keep Pete Alonso our lineup will be super deep and if 2025 is anything like 2024 we have a legitimate shot at going deep into the playoffs and this will end my streak of saying maybe next year at 38 years. LGM!!!!

Hes going to get hurt and bust

I can see $24.00 hotdogs..... And 43.00 beer....🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺

That not worth it Shohei Ohtani is much better then Juan soto

Bro, Santo Domingo is not that dangerous. I lived there for years and not once did I feel in danger.

Overplayed!!!

If he doesnt hit at least 50hr in a season at least once this contract, is a massive overpay.

Sports richest player*

Ohthani is more richer then him

He did not dropout of high school

Bro this video is so fake

Shohei is making more money than Soto. Just because the contract is bigger doesn’t make him richer.

mlb players childhoods dont lead them to the mlb. at fuckin all. mlb players childhoods arent interesting. they were only interesting at the pro level

That is not juan soto on the thumbnail😭🙏🙏

Absolute insanity and sheer lunacy.

Not the richest. The highest paid there’s a difference.

Are the Mets thinking of making Soto their main dish?
I get the feeling he doesn't have enough power. In the National League he'd only hit 35 or 36 home runs.

Absolutely worth every penny. A phenomenal asset for the Mets!

I love how you try to make the highschool dropout part seem crazy but any kid from the Dominican Republic drops out to pursue baseball. Literally almost ANY Dominican player in the league right now is a drop out

Been a met fan my entire life it’s about time

Goosebumps since it happened

Bro is probably moving to the dodgers next year

He’s not a high school dropout…stop lying !!

He did not "basically skip the minor leagues".

400 like

My Yankees are cooked

The nationals in 2019 were in the NLCS not ALCS.

Lying out ya asses for views . He didn’t drop out of high school get your facts straight, hate this clickbaits videos

The amount of errors in this video is crazy

Now that's bull ahit ,he did Finnish hight School ,You need to do some Research before you post anything like that

He's over paid. Nobody i mean nobody is worth that much money. It will get to the point where. A normal working man can't buy a ticket nevermind trying to take his son or daughter to a game. Rediculise .

HE IS NOT A HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUT. I met him!

Juan Soto is not even worth a penny he’s too much of himself all he could do is hit sometimes

Soto wasn’t that poor, his mom was and accountant and his father a sale. Lower middle class

Really? How obscene. Teachers make 45,000 per year in most places and this little dolt breaks the bank for doing nothing. I am so impressed America! Keep up the good work, send these messages to our young. No wonder this country has the spasms: two morons run for president and this kid obtains a fortune for . . . wait for it . . . playing baseball. And look below; " absolutely worth every penny". Sure thing.

My friend and I collectively agreed that’s it’s good that have a high ceiling when you operate a team but sometimes you have to be realistic. The Yankees have done a better job this offseason than any other team, I’m not a Yankees fan. Key points for the Mets this off season is getting pitcher rotation, bullpen depth and your first baseman, however they went for Juan Soto and luckily got Sean Manaea, Frankie Montas, and Clay Holmes, however there are still good bullpen arms Tanner Scott and Jeff Hoffman and for your rotation a Corbin Burnes and probably Roki Sasaki. The Mets could be if not more powerful than the Dodgers if they wanted to. Nowadays you buy a championship prime example Dodgers and Rangers, there’s only a few lucky like the Braves that it’s a really good investment. I’m happy that Juan Soto got an amazing paycheck but having him is a luxury for how expensive he is those 765 million could have made you a better team if invested correctly.

WTF do you mean by richest? Largest contract doesn't equal being the richest by this logic selfish Soto is richer than Ronaldo, Messi, LeBron, Shohei etc.

It’s the NLCS not the ALCS

SIMPLE HE CAN HIT A BASEBALL CONSISTENTLY TGE GARDEST FEET IN SPORTS..NO NEED FOR MORE THEN A 2 SECOND VIDEO..LOL AND THIS A YANKEE FAN SAYING THIS..KIDS LEARN TO HIT AND HIT WELL U CAN BE RICH TOO

every places in south america is dangerous hahahaha is just like tha meme, when started to get dark, bro just run to your house, i´m from Brazil, baseball is not very famous here, but is a sport thaat i like to whatch
