For the past week, the talk of New York has been that the Mets have been “super aggressive” in their attempt to land former New York Yankee and MLB’s top free agent Juan Soto in a Mets uniform by Opening Day 2025. It has been confirmed that Mets owner Steve Cohen has offered up almost $200 million to free agents and contract finalizations, creating the conditions to give Soto and his agent Scott Boras what he wants to bring him to Citi Field.
The question is how far Cohen and Stearns will go to get Soto. Rumor has it that NL MVP finalist Francisco Lindor flew to Los Angeles on Sunday, just a few days after it was reported that Cohen, Soto, and Boras are scheduled to meet in L.A. about the 2025 season and beyond with the Mets.

Lindor wished “nothing but the best” for the Yankees slugger and added, “I hope he makes the best decision for himself and his family.”
Lindor may be the key in Soto’s final decision, being that he is being courted by several other organizations, including the Dodgers, Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Giants, while even the Bombers have stated they’d love to have #22 back again next season.
It has been estimated that Soto’s final contract could range from $600 to $700 million over the next 12 to 14 years.
