Juan Soto Celebrates Mets Contract with Dinner

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen hosted a lavish dinner for newly signed outfielder Juan Soto and his family at Benjamin Prime steakhouse to celebrate Soto's historic $765 million contract, the richest in North American sports history. The evening featured a mozzarella and tomato salad, a medium-plus ribeye steak, champagne toasts, and a custom-themed cake, with the celebration lasting about three hours. Soto, who has been described as down to earth and generous, was officially introduced at Citi Field just hours before the dinner. The Mets' investment in Soto, following his successful season with the Yankees, has significantly improved their odds of winning the World Series in 2025. This meal and contract signing have captured the attention of MLB fans, highlighting Soto's central role in the Mets' championship aspirations.
