If he were to sign with the\u00a0New York Mets, everything would change. Soto, regarded as one of the best free agents in MLB history, could change the Yankees franchise with his decision.<\/p>\n<p>If Soto signed with the Mets, Yankees fans would rightfully be upset. Losing him to the Mets would sting much more than if he were to play for a different club.<\/p>\n<p>Owner\u00a0Steve Cohen has proven he\u2019s willing to spend, making Soto in Queens a real possibility. Some have viewed the Yankees and Mets as the two top suitors, as the two New York teams will battle it out.<\/p>\n<p>Joe Pantorno of AMNY predicted where Soto would land and for how much on November 5. He predicted Soto would sign with the Mets for $650 million over 13 seasons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crown jewel of the free-agent market will move across the Big Apple to Queens after Steve Cohen and David Stearns win the bidding war for the 26-year-old superstar. Just moments after losing the World Series with the Yankees, Soto suggested that the Yankees do not hold an advantage over any of the other 29 teams that could come knocking at his door in free agency, meaning he will go to the highest bidder that also provides the promise of winning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Mets tick both of those boxes off. They were one of the biggest surprises in Major League Baseball this season by making a run to the NLCS, pushing the eventual champion Los Angeles Dodgers to six games before bowing out,\u201d\u00a0Pantorno wrote. \u201cFor a generational talent of Soto\u2019s caliber, it is likely that no price set by his agent, Scott Boras, would be too high for Cohen, as the promise of a top-of-the-lineup duo of Francisco Lindor and Soto could fuel the Mets for the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Soto Not Expected to Decide Soon<\/h2>\n<p>The issue for the New York Yankees regarding Soto potentially joining the New York Mets is that it might not happen soon. Free agency is already open, and while there haven\u2019t been many big signings yet, the Yankees could put themselves in a brutal position if they\u2019re banking on Soto to re-sign just for him to land with the Mets.<\/p>\n<p>They could be out of the mix for others because of him waiting.<\/p>\n<p>His decision isn\u2019t expected to come for a bit, which isn\u2019t uncommon for a\u00a0Scott Boras\u00a0client. There\u2019s even a chance the slugger will wait until the spring, as Boras will often wait until he gets the exact dollar he wants.<\/p>\n<p>Boras spoke to the media during the general manager meetings, mentioning that he can\u2019t put a timeframe on Soto\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDue to the volume of interest and Juan\u2019s desire to hear [from teams], I can\u2019t put a timeframe on it, but it\u2019s going to be a very thorough process for him,\u201d\u00a0Boras said on November 6, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. \u201cHe wants to meet people personally. He wants to talk with them. He wants to hear from them.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Is Soto to the Mets a Real Possibility?<\/h2>\n<p>The New York Yankees have drawn a bigger crowd and fan base than the New York Mets. The Yankees have history and a bigger market on their side. Despite both teams playing in New York, the Yankees are the more followed team.<\/p>\n<p>However, that might not mean much to Soto. If he believes the Mets have a chance to win, that could be his deciding factor, as Boras said he wants to compete for a World Series in every season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe wants ownership that\u2019s going to support that they are going win annually,\u201d Boras said. \u201cOwners want to meet with Juan and sit down and talk with him about what they\u2019re going to provide for their franchise short term and long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If it comes down to the money, the Yankees have the funds. However, Cohen has more, so it\u2019s fair to suggest he could give Soto a bigger offer than the Yankees could.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Juan Soto pointing after a home run in the ALCS.
