Mets Make Big Push for Soto: Can They Outbid the Yankees?

The Mets are making an aggressive push to sign Juan Soto, aiming to outbid the Yankees and other suitors. Owner Steve Cohen recently met with Soto in California, presenting a clear vision for how the star outfielder could transform the team's future. Reports suggest the Mets are prepared to offer a groundbreaking deal, potentially exceeding $600 million over 12-13 years, making them a top contender.

While the Yankees remain competitive, insiders believe Cohen's willingness to spend big, combined with the Mets' playoff momentum, positions them as frontrunners. Soto, 26, delivered an impressive 2024 season with 41 home runs and 109 RBIs for the Yankees. A decision on his future is expected by December's Winter Meetings​
