Step aside, Kevin James, for there's a new King of Queens. Steve Cohen had a much better week than other NYC-based CEOs, as on Sunday night he finally landed a superstar and signed Juan Soto to a record-shattering 15-year, $765 million contract. We break down the contract, what it means for the future of baseball in New York, how Soto's arrival impacts the Mets roster, and which moves still need to be made for this to be a legitimate World Series contender. Then, we look next steps for the Yankees: how they look without Soto, who they can target to win another pennant in 2025, and which superstars they may shift their long-term attention to now that Soto is off the market.
