Juan Soto of the Mets has disclosed that he hasn't had any contact with any of his former Yankees teammates since their loss in the World Series.

On Thursday, the New York Mets unveiled their new star player, Juan Soto, after winning a bidding war with the New York Yankees for his rights.

In his first press conference, a reporter queried whether Soto had communicated with his ex-Yankees teammates during the offseason.

Soto stated that he hasn't spoken to any of those guys since the end of the playoffs. He explained that they were communicated with through the playoffs, but after that, he created a process.

Since the conclusion of the World Series, Aaron Judge has not conversed with Juan Soto.

"Giving those guys space is the best thing," Judge stated, as reported by Fox Sports. "I had conversations with him throughout the season, and he understands our feelings about him. Now, it's crucial for him to make his own decision with his family, pray, and consult with others."

The Mets emerged victorious in the bidding for the 26-year-old, beating out their crosstown rivals.

The Mets granted Soto the most lucrative deal in professional sports history, a 15-year, $765 million contract with escalators that can increase its value to over $800 million.

If Soto chooses to opt out after the fifth season, the Mets can void his contract and pay him $55 million per season for the remaining years.

Soto will receive an annual salary of $51 million for the first five years of the deal, and a $4 million raise to $55 million annually.

The New York Post reports that Soto will receive a ballpark luxury suite, four premium seats for home games, and security for him and his family in addition to becoming the highest-paid player in baseball history.

In the previous season, Soto placed third in AL MVP voting, achieving a standout year in hitting while batting in front of Judge.

With a .288 batting average, 41 home runs, and 129 walks, the four-time All-Star was only surpassed by Judge in these statistics.

In the ALDS and ALCS, his crucial performances helped the Yankees reach the World Series. He sealed the series with a go-ahead extra-inning home run against the Cleveland Guardians.

Soto will now join the Mets' lineup, anchoring it alongside Lindor and Vientos.
