NBC News Taps Goldman for MLB Contract Insight
The absence of deferred money in Juan Soto's record deal with the New York Mets is unusual, Poole scholar Nathan Goldman says.
On Dec. 8, superstar left fielder Juan Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with the New York Mets. The largest contract in the history of American professional sports, it contains no deferred money. That could reduce Soto’s overall earnings by exposing his income to New York tax rates, according to an NBC News column.
“It actually makes little sense why (Soto) would get such a big contract without deferrals,” Nathan Goldman, a Poole College associate professor of finance, told columnist Rob Wile.
