Adam WellsDec 14, 2024

As if getting $765 million from Steve Cohen wasn't enough, Juan Soto is eating great courtesy of the New York Mets owner after the four-time All-Star signed his record-breaking contract with the club.

Per TMZ Sports, Soto and his family were treated to a steak dinner at Benjamin Prime in New York City by Cohen on the same day his deal became official.

TMZ noted Soto's meal consisted of a ribeye steak with a mozzarella and tomato salad, plus a themed cake for dessert.

Per Benjamin Prime's official website, the steakhouse was founded in 2006 and specializes in offering "the quintessential New York dining experience that business executives, locals and celebrities have come to know and love."

The menu on the website doesn't list prices for the meals, but OpenTable.com noted a three-course Christmas menu available on Dec. 24-25 will run $115 per person.

The Mets gave Soto a 15-year, $765 million contract in free agency. It is the richest deal in North American pro sports history by total value, surpassing the $700 million contract Shohei Ohtani got from the Los Angeles Dodgers last offseason.

During his introductory press conference at Citi Field on Thursday, Soto said his goal is to try helping the Mets "grow a dynasty" that includes winning multiple World Series titles.

Soto is joining the Mets after a spectacular 2024 season with the New York Yankees. He finished third in AL MVP voting after hitting .288/.419/.569 with 41 homers in 157 games during the regular season.

During the Yankees' run to the World Series, Soto posted a .327/.469/.633 slash line with four homers in 14 games.
