Mets’ Juan Soto Misses All-Star Bonus Despite $765M Contract

News summary

New York Mets star Juan Soto was notably left off the 2025 MLB All-Star Game roster, a decision that drew surprise given his recent strong performance, including being named NL Player of the Month for June. Soto, who signed a historic 15-year, $765 million contract with the Mets, candidly expressed that missing the All-Star Game meant losing out on a $100,000 bonus included in his contract, highlighting the financial incentives tied to such selections. Despite a slow start to the season, Soto has regained form with impressive stats, including leading the majors with 72 walks and a high OPS since June. His teammates and fans have expressed support and hope for his inclusion if a spot opens up, while Soto himself acknowledged the snub but remains motivated to improve. The All-Star Game absence marks Soto's first since 2020, ending a streak of four consecutive appearances with different teams. Overall, Soto's remarks underscore the balance players strike between passion for the game and lucrative contract incentives.
