Mets Plan Major Offseason Move to Sign Juan Soto

The New York Mets, eyeing a return to playoff contention, intend to pursue Yankees' Juan Soto, potentially offering a historic contract.

The Mets are preparing to make a significant offer to Juan Soto next offseason, aiming for a deal that could be the second-largest in MLB history.
Soto, a four-time Silver Slugger and 2019 World Series MVP, is expected to command a 14-year, $540 million contract.
The Mets' interest in Soto comes as they anticipate financial flexibility with the expirations of Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander's contracts.
A potential bidding war with the Yankees, who acquired Soto this offseason, could drive up the price for the sought-after slugger.
The Mets are also facing the potential departure of their own star, Pete Alonso, who is set to become a free agent at the same time as Soto.
